The Everything Christmas/New Year (2024/2025) Thread

[comicsgate]

@Maverick those were sent from my Droid. I was away or would have made comments. For some reason, the algorithm on the droid seems to be almost mind-reading psychic and sends me really good content. After perusing Christmas ads, it sent me some super low budget like Christian films that were only like a minute or two long. I found it interesting, only in that a lot of different groups are cutting their teeth on movies. I don’t care the background of any filmmaker, just admire those who try to make things on a budget. I heard FLOW was really good and the guy made that movie with free animation software.

@Maverick I’ve made a lot of mistakes on this site, and try not to spam or overpost or hijack threads. I try not to share things unless they are up to par and moving, so sometimes, I regret posted songs or trailers, because, let’s face it, real quality is hard to find and come by, you know? Makes you wonder how they edit or how many times they go thru their footage. Sometimes, it’s just one take and sometimes, it takes like ten tries. Not sure. Creativity is hard, but it flows.

There are a lot of related videos to those last three, but, like everything else, sometimes, you go thru like 5 to get one good one.

LYRICS:
They’re putting decorations up in front of my old church
The shepherds and the wise men and the hay
There’s Joseph and his Mary lookin’ down at Heaven’s birth
And the angel’s saying don’t you be afraid

It makes me stop and think about how You showed up down here
In a humble bed made of nails and wood
You could have picked a palace, something more fit for a King
But then the story wouldn’t be as good

From the highest of the high
To the lowest of the low
That stable tells a story of the distance You will go
For the lonely and the lost
There’s no sinner too far gone to find a Savior
Lying in the manger

There’s a star up in the sky that’s calling all the least of these
Come make your way to where your hope is found
If I’m honest some days I feel too far out of reach
But the manger reminds me love reached down

You were carried by a manger and just 33 years later
By a rugged cross made from nails and wood
And the tears fill up my eyes, You didn’t have to give Your life
But then the story wouldn’t be as good

One week to go. Decorations are up and all gifts wrapped save for one – still on the hunt for a suitably sized box.  Foodstuffs? That’s a whole other story.

How y’all preparations coming?

Finally done wrapping up everyone’s presents yesterday morning even though I don’t have much to wrap. I normally end up doing mine very last minute although not by choice!

Best Christmas short I’ve seen since ‘The Snowman’ LOL! Also, their version of ’12 Days of Christmas’ was hilarious!

Listening to the entire Victorian above. Very nice. Confession to make that I am not in the Christmas spirit that much, but will say that the music just dominates. It’s so good and wholesome, that if I flip the radio dial, I cringe at all the other things. No real contest.
