Merry Christmas!

May your Christmas be joyous and bright! 

The following stop motion video was created by my fifteen year old daughter using iMovie and approximately 150 still photos that she took with her Canon Rebel XT. Her camera was set on a tripod, and with the camera remote in her hand, she snapped photos every couple of minutes while we decorated our Christmas tree. She captured plenty of smiles, a few funny faces, a lot of hugs and even a few kisses. Enjoy! :)

  18. Thank you all again for the Christmas greetings and the lovely comments on the video. :)

    Gina... That's awesome that your son is inspired to get a camera now! It's really a great hobby for young people. Well, any age people actually. But at least with digital cameras, you can take 100s of photos and only keep the ones you like without paying to develop the whole lot!

    Maija... Finnish folks are not generally affectionate? I have to say, my family is probably more affectionate than average. ^_^

    I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones, too! xoxo
