Holiday Play! - 19 December 2009 ========================= From November 19, 2009 =========================
These are the photos that I took at a Holiday Play that Armandzraven's niece Kateri participated in. It was held at a house and as you can see it was packed with parents and family members. Decided to add a frame on the ones where you see Kateri to better focus on her.

Holidays 2008! - 25 December 2008 ========================= From December 25, 2008 =========================
These are photos from Christmas Day in 2008. While most years I take photos throughout the season that include decorations, snacks, food, and more, in 2008 I only took photos on the 25th of December.
The only other photos taken were during specific events: Phoenix ZooLights 2008! | Extended Version ~ November 28, 2008 https://youtu.be/ik-ykNkCQ30
Here, you’ll first see how I decorated the house we lived in at the time. The window painted to look like stained glass was done by Armanzraven. You’ll also see a close-up of the Precious Moments nativity scene, which I still have and use to this day. After that, you’ll see the presents I received that year. Those were good times when you could get nice gifts at decent prices, as over the years everything has become much more expensive. Following the photos of the presents, you’ll see the indoor decorations with their lights turned on, as well as the holiday cards I received that year.

These are all the photos and videos taken during the 2008 APS Fiesta of Light parade that took place on the 6th of December. This compilation of photos and videos are organized in the order they were taken. If the video portions appear familiar, it's because I'd previously uploaded the 26 videos of this parade individually.
However, for this edit compiling all the videos and photos, I added some slight effects on a handful of the photos and the videos to be able to see them a bit better.
