An amateur home movie made by Betty Cook of a Christmas Day in 1983 with close family and relatives at home in Mandale Road, Middlesbrough. The group open presents around the Christmas tree, have dinner, and play Scrabble before falling asleep. Some parts of the film were re-staged the following July as certain family members were not available at the time. Betty Cook was the President of the Cleveland Cine Society and the North East Cine Society.
