Christmas Shopping in 1969

Video from the Christmas holiday season in 1969. Lots of footage of Santa Claus with kids.
Original video was of rising inflation concerns and the Holiday season.
Audio goes out sometimes...be patient. Some good stuff here.

What a great time to be a kid. I was 13 that Christmas. I loved going downtown to shop in all the old department stores, the decorations and the Christmas spirit all around. No malls and no Amazon delivery.

Children are so angelic. Really beautiful footage. Happy.
