Merry Christmas 2019 - YouTube

In 1986 we started our first Christmas Letter as hobby and tradition. In 2005 we created our first Christmas video along with the letter, and this year is the first time the words and video match in overlay words on video. (I even changed some words to match photos I had as I normally write letter first)  Two years I had used two different songs for that years video and my first two years I used same song for those years. (you guess what was the song) This is 7th time I have used Silent night, although each video a different version of that song. I started this tradition to look back at the year,  count my blessings and share equally with our friends/family our yearly news. (I love getting news in Christmas cards from others)  I still love to look back and review the letters, photos and videos. This makes entry 20 in Christmas family label of blog for past 14 years. The other six videos are ones about Christmas, duplicate songs, or ones I rescued from you tube about my grandkids. Each Christmas video is also posted on YouTube with Christmas at Grandma's House in 07 the most viewed with 1522 views. The first you tube video in 95 only has 90 views.  Silent Night in 2011 is most viewed  blog video with 922 views.
