Movies portland oregon christmas day Videos

I have 8mm movies of the 1964 flood in Keizer, Oregon, but it is a double exposure of the flood and of me a few years earlier as a baby. My dad and our German Shepherd lived in the second story of our house during the flood to protect it from vandals. My mom and I left the night of the flood. Mom said she could see the flood waters going across a low spot the road in the the rear view mirror. We lived in a mobile home in our driveway while repairs were being done on our house.

That's the late Tom Michaels from that promo. He had done voiceovers for Fred Meyer's until his death in 2000.

This video is such a key component of my childhood Christmas memories. I can still recall watching it every night the days before Christmas before bedtime in the dark in the glow of the fireplace and the tree lights. It may look low budget now, but at the time it was magical. I would occasionally watch it at random times throughout the year as well. I still have the VHS copy, although I don't recall ever having the cut out ornaments. I believe my grandmother bought it as a gift. That year was the Talking Tree at display at the Meier & Frank in downtown Portland as part of the winter wonderland they hosted each year on the tenth floor? I vaguely remember seeing it there, but I could also be possibly making that memory up. It would make sense though from a promotional stand point. I think sometime soon I'll try to digitize my copy. Thanks for sharing the video and information about it's production. Your dad was great in it.
