Video circa 1972: Three 70 year old women talk about their childhood Christmas traditions

This is delightful. Recollections on Edwardian era holiday traditions by a trio of older women in 1973. The oldest recalls Christmases from 1902 and 1903.

The host is a bit precious and dismissive of modern traditions, but the stories are good. I will say over and over again – we have a lot to learn from folx who endured austere and difficult times both historically and right now.
