This year, instead of having/eating an advent calendar, me and my sister MADE our own… out of videos!
Sure, each video took about 10 minutes to film and four hours to upload, and sure, each video got an average of about 2 views (thanks, Mum/Dad)… but it was all worth it in the end.
I mean, who knew you could make content out of a trip to Home Bargains, or a game out of a cup of water? Exactly. Lives have been changed.
If you can’t quite muster the energy to watch all 20 videos (we were aiming for 25… but, y’know, we didn’t account for the Christmas hangovers), then here are some of my favourite ones.*
1. Mum’s Christmas Surprise!
Mum took us on a surprise trip to Osbourne House! And then Osborne House FOUND THE VIDEO AND FACEBOOKED ABOUT IT. We got at least 10 more views because of it! A great day for all (it’s up there with the day Red Funnel Ferries followed me on Twitter).
2. The Gargling Game
I genuinely thought I was brilliant at this until I watched the footage back.
3. A Trip to Home Bargains
What you need to understand is that these videos had to fit into our lives.
4. A Tour of the Isle of Wight Ferry
Fun for all the family.
5. Goodbye to our Friend, Stu
Our friend Stu left for Cardiff, so we surprised him! He was “mortified”.
And finally, here’s the playlist of all our videos!
Watch for quality entertainment such as ‘The Christmas Pun-Off’, a game of ‘Head Jenga’ and a true story about a girl who got so excited about Santa coming that she went blind. Merry Christmas, one and all.
*It’s totally fine that I’ve done a blog about my ‘favourite’ videos that I also happen to have shot, edited and starred in, right? Err… right, guys? RIGHT?
