Lost of Christmas

Its two weeks 'til Christmas break and I feel that I am the only person in my close family that is juiced about Christmas. So in order to brighten up everyones spirits I feel that I should make a movie about my family. This Christmas, everyone in my family is going through hard times, which is mostly because of the recession. Our economy effects some many people worldwide, that Christmas is sort of disliked!! Everyone shouldn't go through Christmas thinking about the cost but about how you spend your time with loved ones. I know is sounds really cheesy but I always had this feeling about this special holiday, unfortunately my family lost that feeling. In my mother's side of the family, my very close cousins, never had as many presents for christmas and so they don't know what it feels like. They are all older then me and they are all going through a rough time, with relationships and baby drama. Also my mom's older sister from New Zealand, brought over her children for Christmas and they aren't getting much because of the economy. Everyone should get past the thought that they have to buy to make someone else happy. The only people in my family that have the right to get pissed is the kids because that's all how they see Christmas, and who can blame them.
So, back to the movie process. I have no idea what it will center around. I have done this before but they were all for my parents, and were very funny. This video has to open up to everyone in my family. I thought about making the video center around what I think about everyone in the family and how I'm grateful for them, but the idea may come off as a Thanksgiving type of video. I don't think that matters as much because at least I gave everyone a present, that didn't cost anything at all. the fact that that I don't have to pay, honestly does feel good and my parents don't have to worry. All I need is a computer, my video camera, and family pics and memories. Relatively simple when I put it like that but it is hard to make everything piece together like an actual movie. I hope this movie comes out good enough for a smile or a laugh.The most important thing would to get my family to get my message and to stop stressing over one day, to have fun and make the most out of what they got.
