Some millennials may have little or no idea how the festive season was celebrated by Ghanaians in the early decades of the country’s development. The video captures busy shopping centres in the capital, Accra, and even shows snippets of the traffic jams during Christmas in the 1960s. The video was posted with the caption, “Footage of Ghanaians preparing for Christmas in December 1966. The last weekend before the holiday found Accra packed with Christmas shoppers from all over the country. The influx of people brought traffic jams and packed lorry parks, while Ghanaian women stocked up on foodstuffs.”PS: The video has no soundMA
