Lovely Vintage Christmas Family Photos From the 1960s

   

Christmas in the 1960s was in many respects quite similar to Christmas celebrations today: family gatherings, laughter and fun. But whereas today the celebrations are often centered around the presents and multimedia, in the 1960s Christmas was much more homespun.
