Yay! You vidded the RayK episodes! This one is so much fun! Definitely puts me in the spirit. You inherited the holiday gene, clearly. :)

I was gung-ho Christmas well before discovering Henry. I used to wish people Merry Christmas in the summer because it was such a happiness making greeting. Mother's gifts to me were often ornaments and I used to put up a Christmas tree on the back porch, where it could stay up and not dry out well into April. We ended up with so many ornaments we started putting up multiple trees. My neighbors used to give tours of the back yard so they could show off our Christmas tree in the spring. And we keep our lights up till March or April, or until the squirrels eat through all the cords.

So discovering Henry just felt so right. I can't tell you how sorry I am that mother isn't here to tell.

I had COMPLETELY forgotten that episode, then Colleen emailed me about it and I watched it yesterday. Absolutely inspiring. What wonderful smiles Benny can get out of Ray.

A very Happy Christmas to you, too.

That was a great Christmas vid! The Dief and Ante bits made me grin - actually, the whole thing made me kind of weepy in the good way. I liked the way you worked the timing of the characters' movements with the song.

I also enjoyed Wild World - nice to see a little Fraser/Thatcher, especially the earlier episodes with her pretty long hair.

I'm so very glad you liked it, and I do deeply appreciate your kindness in feeding back. I've been vidding since 1985, and I tend to practice things, so a lot of working motion to music came from doing classical music where all you had to concentrate on was creating a coherent continuing story (or not), and moving people to the music. When I used to be able to shoot video, I used to practice for camera moves by videotaping birds in flight. The video shooting position is incredibly close to the gun shooting position.

I've been rewatching the Christmas vid myself. It's lovely seeing the smiles. I do like Thatcher, and I like Thatcher with Benny. Superman uses that kiss on top of the train. And, yes, I like her much better with longer hair.

The best female villain anywhere must be Servalan, in Blakes 7. She, too, shortened her hair from a feminine short cut to a marine's cut by the end. But she always paired the cut with silk and satin, furs and high heels.

My very best wishes for a wondrous Christmas season,
Mary
