My Christmas Card (Another Man's Video) to You

[This is a block-copy of a post from last Christmas. I am repeating it not because I don't have other things to put up, since I always have much more to put up than I can deal with; nor because I get lazy around the holidays, because I'm sometimes tired but never lazy; but because it says what I want to say again, and incorporates a wonderful Christmas video (not of my creation; my video skills are nowhere near up to such a wonderful creation). I showed here a week or so before 2010's iteration of this post a bunch of fotos of the crèche in St. Lucy's that the video below also deals with. My fotos were taken mainly without flash, so have less glare than some of the fotos in the video slideshow below. Unlike my post of Nativity-scene fotos, the video shows the church overall and various things on its grounds as well as the enormous crèche. Even if you remember the video somewhat from prior years, you may nonetheless enjoy it this year. I did. More than once, I find it so wonderful. If you click on the link above the video and the picture does not come up, but only sound, click on the embedded image of the start of the video. Then both shifting images and sound should come up. You can click on the TV-screen icon to blow the video up to full-screen size. If "St. Lucy" doesn't sound familiar, think of the Italian, "Santa Lucia".]

It's that time again, when I think of a magnificent video slideshow with music, by "charles1789", of many fotos of St. Lucy's Church at Christmas (http://blip.tv/file/733465/ — 8 minutes and 42 seconds long), to music by Andrea Bocelli and the late, great Sergio Franchi and Luciano Pavarotti. I embed the video here, but the explanatory text on Blip.tv below the video is worth reading.
