Description

This silent home movie, presumably shot by E. Clifton Daniel, shows the Daniel family at home in their New York apartment. Specifically, Clifton Truman Daniel getting dressed in a tuxedo, while his mother, Margaret Truman Daniel, and two brothers Harrison Gates Daniel and Thomas Washington Daniel, peek around the door. Clifton walks down the stairs in his tails and white tie, and Margaret makes some final adjustments on his bow tie. Clifton sits dramatically at the piano as though he were about to give a performance. 

The footage then cuts to Christmas, with the boys opening their gifts and playing with their new toys. Then the action moves outdoors, where they are sledding in the snow on a hill in Central Park.
