It’s kind of silly, but one of the things we do at our Gingerbread party every year is set up the old Christmas videos for the girls to watch after getting done with making their houses.  Most of the girls will sit around and watch, and Carissa, Cece and Sadie love to point out their favorite bits to their friends.

One of the really popular bits of the 2001 video is the part right at the beginnning when Sandi is lowering and raising Cece in and out of the frame.  Everybody oohs and aahs over the cute little baby.

It seems very distant now, but we made this video 3 months after the 9/11 attacks, and the song we chose “God Bless The Children” is pretty sappy and sentimental, but seemed very appropriate for the time:

“God bless the children everywhere,
For they haven’t yet learned not to care,
We must not let time age their souls,
May the child stay in us all”

My favorite part is when the girls line up with frosting on their noses.

We used Rubber Band’s version of “Feliz Navidad” for the credits, which has become a family favorite.  It also appears briefly in the video we did about our trip to Italy during a funny sequence showing how we kept our kids entertained during the trip — by showing them old Christmas videos!!!

The video can be downloaded here, if you are interested in seeing it.
