An old family video of a mum opening her Christmas presents in the 80s has gone viral on TikTok after people thought it was brilliant.
If you remember your first few Christmases then you might have had a relative filming it all with a camcorder.
Probably your dad, dads love camcorders.

Anyhow, it had the desired effect of capturing those joyous memories of Christmas Day and opening presents on film forever.
Something good about that is the ability to just go back and watch it whenever you like, but one TikToker took things to the next step by posting it online where it's brought people plenty of comfort and joy.
Jordan Alvillar posted that she'd 'digitized my family's home videos from the 80s' including the moment she saw 'my mom's soul leaving her body on Christmas Day'.
In the video Jordan's mum is opening her presents when she gets her gift of a KitchenAid mixer she almost certainly knew she was getting.

"It’s a mixer! Boy, oh boy, I can’t wait to use that to make my husband a wonderful meal," Jordan's mum Susan said as she opened her present, before being incredibly funny about her new gift.
"Just think of the tasty treats I can make my family with this mixer.
"Isn’t this just a wonderful holiday season! I’m so glad I’ve been able to cook and clean and just do things like a regular housewife should."
Susan's husband Jim was then heard to say 'a woman's work is never done' and you could see what Jordan meant when she said she saw her mother's soul leaving her body.

Later on the family were gathered around the dinner table for 'a wonderful relaxing meal, as usual' while the children were making quite a racket.
"This is a peaceful Christmas dinner. You wanna know why it's so peaceful? The children are now gone," Susan later joked, and to be fair she was right.
People have absolutely loved Jordan sharing a blast from her family's past, with viewers saying the home video was 'like an SNL skit'.
Others joked that the video was giving them the vibes of a true crime documentary where the mother snaps.

Someone else wrote: "It's comforting to know my mom's generation didn't have it more together than we do."
A smattering of others jumped in to defend the honour of KitchenAid and say they were very happy to get them as Christmas presents.
For those who want to know what happened to this family decades later, according to Jordan's comments her parents are still together and the mixer is still going strong.
