Putting together a short video means coming up with a simple script, complete with a storyline, dialogue, and setting. Wishing each other a Happy New Year in 2025 is something we all do, but it needed a bit of an original twist. Since it’s about kids and teens, and with the chilly European winter as the backdrop, the children send their well-wishes in their own way, wishing us good health. There’s also a “very subliminal” message hidden in the images about what “the Three Wise Men” might be planning to bring the kids soon.

The “video greeting” is also a great excuse to create a lasting memory of our nine young ones. This video keepsake will help us remember what their faces and voices were like during Christmas 2024. Their tone of voice and facial features will change over time, and looking back on this in a few years will be a fun way to see how much they’ve grown. This new year, it’s our job to guide them as they continue to grow into better versions of themselves. Thank you for helping us with that. Our two teenagers, the oldest in the house, wish us all a Happy 2025 at the end of the video. Watch it on our website.
