Wow.... this made my day...my Mother is coming this year for Christmas and was born in 1935. going to pull this up and watch it with her on the 40 inch TV. Thank you for posting.
Awesome! It is so cool to watch something from back in that time that is real and not scripted. I gives me a real glimpse as to what life was like then.
Actually, one of my cousins , not pictured here, was going to marry a McDonald (but we didn't know it yet, she was only five and he wasn't one of those McDonald's anyway. Thanks for your comment.

@Slim5819 I remember as a small child in the1950s the movie camera lights were as bright as an atomic bomb going off. It was like a bar with very bright lights......i think they even gave off a lot of heat as well
Hi, thanks for your good words. You were six and I was just two (I'm the one with the cloth on my forehead. My Dad wanted to protect my eyes from the high wattage photoflood lamp.) At your age you would remember this. You folks were already in WW II. We in the U.S. wouldn't get in for another couple of years.

I am amazed to see a home movie from 1939. Thanks for sharing this.
This is so neat! I wonder how many people were able to afford camars like this back then..? What a treasure to have!

Men wearing ties while eating dinner at home! Also, getting a typewriter in 1939 must have been like getting a new computer, lol
I love watching these old holiday movies. One thing I’ve noticed is that, for the most part, everyone’s trees were little.
I love watching these old videos of Christmas 🤶
Just wonderful....back before television and the console radio was the star of the living room. Requiring imagination, not thumb skills.

I never thought of that but it just might be.
Look at that spread!
I checked with my brother and he said it was probably a Dodge.
I would like to see the camera used..lol
Actually, it still exists. I think one of my nephews has it.

Uncle Charlie and aunt Emma were very ugly....what an ugly family
