Christmas

1961 , North Walsham (Norfolk)

A short home movie showing a family’s preparations from Christmas and their little boy taking a bath.

The film starts with a shot of a kitchen countertop, a desert and turkey are being prepared. Next we see a little undecorated Christmas tree in a pot on the mantelpiece. The next shot shows presents, bottles of alcohol, toys beneath the decorated tree. A lady draws a bath and undresses her young son, she puts him in the bath and washes him. His mum dries him with a towel and rubs on some talcum powder then dad dries his hair. The last shot shows the toddler’s crib. The film was shot in North Walsham.
