New Old Film Challenge #224 - Christmas

I've had a trawl through the archives and it would appear, surprisingly, that we've never done Christmas as a NOFC.

So with this in mind, have a hunt through your shoeboxes of photos for pictures of festive celebrations from years gone by.

Back in the day when film was even more expensive than it is today it wasn't unusual for a single roll of film to have birthdays and holidays from a whole year bookended by Chrsistmas at the beginning and end of a roll of film.

As usual the following rules apply:

- Must be taken by you
- Must be on film
- Must have been taken, developed and scanned prior to the start date of this challenge.
- Discussion in the discussion thread (link below) rather than this Entries thread, please.
- Shoehorning and even Crowbars are positively encouraged!

Please include details of the camera, lens, emulsion and anything else of relevance if you can possibly remember that far back.

One Entry per person only.

As its Christmas and lot of folk will be a bit busy chasing sprouts round their plates I suggest we give this a little longer than usual, so entries close at 23:59 on 27th December 2023 (or thereabouts), to be followed by 3'ish days for the poll after that.

Please keep all discussion and chit chat in the discussion thread: https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/t...allenge-discussion-thread.698995/post-9389603
 
I was planning to put up something meritless but slightly interesting from Christmas in Adelaide, but it turns out nothing's scanned, and I'd have no chance of finding the negatives. The trees available were usually radiata pine, which has a completely different structure and shape from those used in the UK. Anyway, instead please find about the only film photo vaguely reminiscent of Christmas I can find...

Sorry for the delay. Poll's up, get voting.
 
Congratulations @NickT over to you.
 
Thank you for all the votes. I have been taking fewer and fewer photographs these days, as film get more expensive. I have a topic for a new thread, which I will post shortly.
