Christmas Day 1965 with my mum, dad and two elder sisters.
This was the first Christmas my dad had the cine camera.
I was five.
My mum had a bad cold. I had a red dressing gown.
Check all those Christmas cards and that very 60's pattern wallpaper.
I got a dumper truck, a racing car, a little box of lego and a lovely warm scarf.
My elder sister got some 'smellies' and a paint-by-numbers set - they were a thing in the 60's.
My younger sister got some 'smellies' and a notebook and pencil.
And my mum got a black 'nightware set' from my dad. Oh la la...
Then we had the traditional Christmas dinner - turkey and all the trimmings.
I wasn't vegetarian then - I'm not sure many people were in the 1960's?
I still ate from a bowl instead of a plate, and with a fork and spoon - how humiliating!
But I was wearing a dinky little bow-tie, so cool points for that.
The table cloth has long since gone - but would you believe we still have the matching serviettes - 54 years later.
Happy Christmas, happy days...

One of my best, all-time Christmas memories is enjoying a traditional Julbord in Umeå. Smoked reindeer heart and bear sausage for the win 😊
There's no gift that I can get my parents to properly thank them for my childhood Christmas memories
Another one of my fondest childhood Christmas memories is that of my older brother going outlaw opening a present under tree several days early. An electric razor, he used it, wrapped it again (horribly) and then placed it back under tree 😂
My childhood Christmas memories had me convinced we were always up at 5 am to unwrap gifts but now I realize it was likely 8:30
