Christmas Snapshots 2016

It's been another fun, exciting, hectic, exhausting Christmas season. I spent much of December catching up with friends, celebrating with family, and rushing to finish year end projects. The time always goes by so fast that it's during this week of downtime that I finally feel like I'm able to reflect on everything that happened. Here are a few of my holiday snapshots (many of which I featured on Instagram) from my Christmas in Medicine Hat, Alberta this year.

Posing with my new Red Ryder BB Gun / only pretending I shot my eye out.

My gifts wrapped and under the tree.

I shared a brand new photo series featuring Disneyland at Christmas.

Listened to my favorite Christmas record.

Finished shooting my documentary with the school kids this month.

Christmas Eve tradition of Pictionary with the family.

The twins (my friend's kids) first Christmas.

Christmas morning at my folk's place.

One of my Medicine Hat images was on Christmas postcards this year.

Had the family over to mine for games and drinks.

Loved the decor of Inspire Cafe. Had a lot of meetings here in December. 

At my friends Tom and Jaycene's - hours invested in Super Mario 3 on NES Classic.

My tree looked pretty good this year.

I re-watched some of my old Christmas videos I made with friends.

I had my major awards on display.

We went to see the new Star Wars movie on Christmas Day.

I braved the cold for some freezing exterior film shoots in December.

Our small, but delicious, Christmas dinner.

It was a great Christmas.

Here's some real Christmas nostalgia featuring our family back in 1989. This year I gifted my parents a box of nostalgia inspired by the Christmas day gatherings we used to have at my Grandma's house. This video provided a lot of the inspiration. I hope you all had an amazing Christmas as well and found time to spend it with the ones you love. Merry Christmas!
