Overview

This charming Christmas compilation from 1972 and 1978 shows a family enjoying such culinary exotics as grapefruit and table wine at dinner, presents and a trip to the beach. The girls get fashionable clothes while Mum gets a kitchen utensil and a Ј20 note while Dad gets a pair of underpants, which he proudly shows off. Six years later, the girls are in their late-teens. Granny comes to visit and receives a clock while Dad gets a shirt and tie and a self-assembly compost bin.
