Pretty good home movies with very minimal Christmas references til about 3/4 way through, Otherwise this movie starts out charmingly with two kids, a boy and a giirl, The boy starts out in cowboydrag and then changes to a fireman costume. Then we have shots of family members. Some shots are not scripted but some of them are. The family members are not very good actors...it's still all good fun As I said, we have to wait 3/4 of the way through for Christmas shots.. I see with one of the women got some new oven mitts for Christmas! Lucky Her! This is all very nicely photographed by the way
