Dolls, trains, a tricycle and new toothbrush are among the booty opened by one London toddler on Christmas Day in 1950s.

Taken from the Ashlee Family Films collection at Bexley, this short black-and-white home movie features toddler Christine on Christmas Day working her way through a stack of presents, including a doll, model train and first toothbrush. Later she goes for a ride on her new tricycle, which still has the label attached.
