A typical shot of christmas morning, with everyone unwrapping presents, finding out what Santa brought them. One boy got a Walkie Talkie. I wonder where its partner is. On the left it gives the date as JAN 70 ,but thats a little off. It's sad that this photo is no longer with the family, but at least they have the memories.
This is my entry for Sepia Saturday.
I love to see people enjoying their Christmas "loot."
ReplyDeleteHow do photos like this become "lost?" Good for you -- found again!
ReplyDeleteIt looks a busy happy home.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think 1970 is wrong? it looks about right to me.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the confusion, I meant January. But I do have a couple of snaps that weren't developed until two years after they were shot.
DeleteSometimes reprints have dates that are much later than the originals too. I like your title. I wonder whether YouTube has "unboxing" Christmas videos. (They sure have a lot of videos unboxing cameras etc. without saying anything worthwhile)
ReplyDeleteWhoever the photo belonged to, someone at that house played a very nice organ. I hope this was only one of many pictures taken that day & the rest are still with the family!
ReplyDeleteIt's possible it was a duplicate given to a relative.
DeleteControlled mayhem.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful holiday!
Too bad photos don't include sound. The shouts, the noise! Nothing silent about Christmas morning!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for the new year.
It looks as if the men are ‘helping’ with the toys and the women are rushing to set the table.
ReplyDeleteCertainly a fun scene,
ReplyDeletebut it's that organ that draws all of my attention.
This was THE THING back then.
Happy new year!!
:)
