Description

Christmas scenes from the Dempsey family. We see the family writing cards, wrapping presents and decorating the house. On Christmas Eve Mrs Dempsey reads to the boys in front of the fire and we see the boys hanging their stockings on the end of their beds. In the night Santa visits and leaves presents. On Christmas morning the boys open their presents and play with their toys. We see Mrs Dempsey preparing Christmas dinner and the family at the table eating it. Their relatives visit and we see them watching television, pulling crackers and watching a puppet show put on by the boys.
