Video: Texas family Xmas, 1963

Kevin has digitized a home-movie of his 1963 family Christmas in Texas, and created a Flickr set of annotated stills as well as posting the video itself. He says, "If you look closely in the movie, you'll see a few things you might wish you had now... like an all aluminum Christmas tree and a Flinstones Pebble doll from when they mass produced 250,000 of them for the year 1963. (Pebbles was introduced early in 1963 on the Flintstones and was wildly popular as a doll)" Link to Flickr set, Link to video
