25 Years of Christmas

Every year, for pretty much my entire life, Dad has videotaped me and my sister coming down the stairs on Christmas morning. As teenagers, we begrudgingly accepted our fathers tradition, but as we grew up we realized we were part of something special–dare I say, “something magical.” (I do dare!) This year I edited the clips together, and with a little help of Vince Guaraldi’s Christmas Time is Here, our Christmas home video is out there on the internet, groping hearts around the world like a drunk Santa in love.

Nick’s brain: “Like a drunk Santa in love? That simile doesn’t make sense.”
Nick’s fingers: “UR NOT THE BOSS OF US, BRAIN!!!!!”

    This video did a lot of groping!
    It made its way to South Carolina where I loved it so much I sent it around the world. Literally.

    Thank you so much for sharing those magical moments with us!!
    (After watching it for the 5th time, I did get kinda sad for the pets and relatives that you didn’t see anymore. But then the addition of a bro-in-law (for Nick) made it better)

    Thanks again!

    Oh, es realmente adorable un gran trabajo, toda una vida pasando por esa casa, se nota que hay personas que ya no estan como la abuela o el perro, el curso normal de la visa, una pregunta ¿quien es el muchacho al final? ¿un hijo perdido o el novio de tu hija? un abrazo a tu linda familia.
