Description

Compilation of domestic scenes featuring members of the Turner family, plus a church walk. Features scenes at Christmas in the family home, with shots of the decorations, children opening presents, playing with toys and messing around, and the family sitting down for dinner. There are several children's birthday parties throughout the film where kids play games, eat party food and, on one occasion, are entertained by a ventriloquist. Young girls play in the garden on a sunny day, before four older girls perform a play and a dance for the camera in the sitting room. Also featured is a christian procession between the church and school of Our Lady of the Assumption in Blackpool.
