Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from our house to yours...

I give thanks to almighty God for giving me the creative ability to produce Videos such as this one... I am in the Autumn of my life, although I don't look it or feel it. I hope God sees fit to allow me the longevity to continue creating these Christmas videos for a long time to come... The turmoil in our global society leaves me with a certain amount of sadness, as I watch our Country spiral down into the depths of chaos, radical lawlessness, and failure to maintain law and order and respect for the Constitution of the United states of America...

I created this year's video, in part because of the turmoil in the world as I see it today... This video is a reflection Christmases past from the perspective of someone who appreciates the Christmases of their early years, perhaps even as long as 80-years past or more. Christmas was a more peaceful and meaningful Holiday in years past...more than it has been in many many years... Times continue to change, and everything continues to evolve... Our culture and the other cultures of the world have exhibited vast changes, which not everyone can adhere to. It seems like it is all about instant gratification instead of the True Meaning of Christmas, and the birth of Jesus Christ...in my view... As a result, this video is an reflection of the many customs and memories of Christmases past.

This year, the music of Christmas seemed to set the stage for my creating this years Christmas video. I listened to the Mormon Tabernacle and a few of their choir favorites over the years and selected three songs that seemed to fit the imagery and happiness I sought to create for young people as well as older folks... I let the music dictate length and content and I just went along for a joyous ride in creating this video... The background music is by the Tabernacle Choir and they are an outstanding choir! I know you will enjoy their songs.

Make sure to click on the link in the image section and also that you adjust your sound on the device you select to watch this on (up or down) so that you hear the details of the music and any other sounds I have included in the video... I created this video in FULL HD, so it will play very nicely on a large screen TV or Monitor... I would greatly appreciate a thumbs up and subscribe if you liked my Christmas Video for 2023...

I hope you enjoy it! Again, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
