Shot on 8mm film in 1961, this grainy, blue-tinted home movie captures a dimly lit Christmas scene in Salton Sea, California. The footage shows a decorated tree with tinsel and glowing lights, viewed through a window at night. A red candle flickers on a table, and the camera pans across the room, revealing a patterned couch and a dark silhouette. The film’s vintage quality, with visible grain and scratches, evokes a nostalgic, intimate holiday memory from the early 1960s.
