Just look how happy everyone is with their gifts on Christmas day. Those who were definitely happier times lolx 😀❤😀

I loved this home movie. Four generations of Family celebrating Christmas together. The Dad getting his own movie projector, and he was so excited. lol I was about the age of the little girl getting that cute stove, for Christmas. I remember getting one too. It actually worked. I got little cake mixes designed for it, and made cakes. It was great.

I'm from that baby boom generation too and I can tell you Christmas just isn't the same anymore and it's painful for some of us!

A whole lot of love in that room !!!❤❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing this wonderful home movie with the world. It educates the current generation on what the holidays were about, which was interacting with family and friends. Now, family members spend the holidays looking at their phones instead of interacting with each other.

Those were the days

Nine children, God bless them. It's remembering times like these that make us miss what used to be and what a loving and caring family they seem to be. Thank you for sharing this with us, the days that are gone but always remembered fondly.

Love the family film. Thank you for sharing.

How wonderful to have so many of the family together at Christmas! Thank you for sharing!

I remember how wonderful Christmas was during those long ago years. Today it's just another ordinary day.

LOVE the kids table !!!!!

Wow my dad had the same plaid shirt and glasses your dad did. I miss Christmas with the family, from 1962 to 1995, some family passed away and others live on the other side of the USA. Best years of my entire life. 1962 to 1995

I love these are just average people like my family. Sadly most of my family has passed away. Bummer

I was not quite two years old that Christmas of 1966. I remember seeing old photos at my grandmother's house of all my cousins who are now in their 60s and 70s. When I look at this family it brings back memories about things used to be.

I love the vintage things in the background. lol wow a lot of girls in the family.

Beautiful Time. Merry Christmas to you all in 1966

This was Awesome Thanks for sharing!!! WOW a Suzy Homemaker Oven!!! We still have them all in storage(Suzy Homemaker toys), Great Memories

Thank you. Made my day.

I remember when I was 103 in that year. Good time 👇

@7:27 --- Grandpa loved the styrofoam he got that year!

Nice family .

I was born in 1966 , I love the good old days !!! 😘🤧❤

Thank you!

Lots of love ❤️

There may be no sound to this movie,But just look at those happy faces !

Lovely, I was born Jan 7th 1966

Mr. Kruger was quite the accomplished canoeist, I see. He's even in the Guinness Book of World Records for it. Wow, you never know what you'll find out about people.

Thank you for sharing this I certainly wish life was like this now although I wouldn’t be born until the following June What beautiful memories MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS 🎄🔔❄️

I was 5 years old that Christmas, growing up in Marquette, MI. 1966 memories--Batman, Lost in Space, baseball card collecting. Our family wasn't as big as this one, but a lot of the same memories........Thanks for sharing!

What we have here are silent moving pictures of a family eating breakfast, opening gifts, and holding conversations on Christmas morning in 1966. Though one family member, apparently Father, heralds the arrival of a new tape recorder, he obviously did not use any audio capabilities the machine may have offered. For indeed this KZfaq presentation is silent; it contains no narration or sound.

Kruger was my grandfathers last name. a good German name.

Classic.

ENDLESS ENDLESSS THANKS FROM TURKEY! LOVES

Back in the good old day when you appreciated what you got not like nowadays

Yesterday once more.

1:32 hahaha.... Throwing out Christmas gifts! OMG - so many people!

Merci pour ce partage, ça fait du bien de revoir nos Noels d'autrefois !!

Mój rok urodzenia

Nice. I wonder if anyone living in this family knows their life and memories are on KZfaq for the world to see?🤷🤔

and just think some of the people in this vid were born around the turn of the century. just imagine all the changes they'd seen in society and technology in their lifetimes. even the soundless 8mm camera this was filmed on would've seemed spaceage to them (and was, believe it or not, state of the art at that time). love this old footage i don't care who's family it is although inevitably i find myself wondering what ever became of thes folks.

its cool to watch christmas where decorations arent plastered all over the place, just a simple tree

😂😂 Wie bei den Floders 😂

So painful that movie cameras, didn't have micophones.

How did recording the audio with the reel-to-reel tape recorder work out?

9 kids! Remember those American Families? Can we stay just a little bit longer? Not be in such a hurry to pick up the wrapping paper?🥺

No sound?

All the gifts are in a landfill. Haha
