Hello everyone! A very warm welcome to you all. Happy Valentine's Day! The video I have selected for this post is a 2 minute clip entitled "Family dinner Etiquette (1950)". Enjoy!
As I watched this video it brought back some great memories from days gone by for me. Do you think that dinner time is the same now as it was back then? Have many people forgotten their manners today, or are we as polite and courteous today as our parents and grandparents were back in the day?
Thank you all so much for visiting me here! I always appreciate and enjoy reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share.
morsomt denne videoen :-)
ReplyDeleteLoved that video!!
ReplyDeleteThis is really a great video, reminds me of our early family holiday meals at Christmas and Easter. Everyone was dressed in their best outfit! Now you're lucky if you can get people to show up in a clean sweatshirt!
ReplyDeleteHA I loved that video share ~ oh the good ole day :)
ReplyDeleteback in the day where most families ate together. I just eat in my room for the most part though I fix my own
ReplyDeletemerci Linda, la vidéo est intéressante,aujourd'hui il y a un peu de négligence parfois.
ReplyDeletebonne soirée

I grew up in the 50s and 60s and I'll never forget having dinner with a girlfriend. They had classical music playing in the background....that seemed so elegant and formal. We eat off trays most of the time. Time have changed for sure! Sweet hugs!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day to you too Linda!
ReplyDeleteThat video is certainly about my childhood meals. We still eat supper as a family, which many of my grandchildren s' contemporaries do not, but our casual dress changes the atmosphere from that in the video.
ReplyDeleteWe've definitely lost some of the graciousness of those days. It was a fun look back.
ReplyDeleteI do think things have changed. Lots of families don't sit down together to eat anymore. I think eating together can be so helpful to creating bonds together.
ReplyDeleteI would love a piece of cake they had for dessert! :-)
...une joyeuse St-Valentin pour toi.....
ReplyDeletebisous

times have definitely changed, and i do miss having family dinners, as i don't have them very often any more, unfortunately... thanks for sharing the video...
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine Linda !!
ReplyDeleteI still get to enjoy large family dinners (as a guest occasionally) where everyone is polite and the dinner is a great time of togetherness. But everyone sitting down at the same time on a regular basis is I think more an event of the past. Funny video.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!!
ReplyDeleteNo unfortunately dinner time is most certainly not the same now. People never eat at the table anymore. They eat in front of the TV!!
ReplyDeleteWe as a family always sat together and I'm proud to say my daughters have continued the tradition. There's still hope for humanity Linda.
ReplyDeleteBonne saint Valentin Linda
ReplyDeleteMeals like about everything else seem less somehow then they used to be. We on occasion have fondue...it is fun and brings us all to the table.
ReplyDeleteA gem of a video. I love those occasions (which aren't as often as I would like) when our family is sat around the table. Wonderful. The kids have a break from their computers and phones...lovely for us all.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day, Linda! What a great and varied selection of videos and photos you have posted during the last week. Today's video was so idealistic! We tried to have those kind of family dinners on Sundays when I was growing up, and manners were required at every meal, but those days are gone, for sure! I still love family dinners though, even if they are less proper! Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteMerci pour cette belle vidéo! Bisous tout doux et bonne Saint-Valentin!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine Linda.. :-)))
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome, totally loved the video.
ReplyDeleteDifficult, Linda, to answer... Everything changed..., it's a pity...
ReplyDeleteAnd respect... ?!
Lie(f)s.
This reminded me of the instructional videos we used to watch in school assemblies on the reel-to-reel movies.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think dinner time is the same as it once was. For some yes, but most don't eat together anymore. I think some people don't even know what the word manners mean!!!
ReplyDeleteSure different than most family dinners now :)
ReplyDeleteI think manners have changed. Many don't worry about them. That is a shame. We were strict with our kids, and our grandkids are similarly being taught well!
