Fan-made music video
I spent a lot of my time at home in 2020 transferring all of my home movies from VHS to digital. Since I knew I wouldn’t be seeing everyone at Christmas like I have every year for as long as I could remember, I decided to make this video with our home movies. I think there's glimpses of almost everyone. I have included it here since there wasn't an official video for the song.
