Overview

Insufficient lighting often made amateur films shot inside the home appear just so. In this case, however, the filmmaker has plenty of light to capture all the finer details of a 70s Christmas in London. From the furniture and gaudy decorations to the presents - mum receives knee-high white PVC boots – this is a lovely slice of bygone Christmas.
