I wanted to try conveying an idea or message in a succinct way, so turned to some stop motion and made this:
Friends
All I Want…
All I want for Christmas
Is to sleep till noon
Scoff chocolate, schlep about,
Blanket fort and pillow spoon.
All I want for Christmas
Is to shut the holly-wreathed door,
The blinds, and the curtains,
And dance around the tinsel strewn floor.
Grapes of a peaceful kind,
Spiced, mulled wine.
Bank balance zero,
Gift giving hero.
All I want for Christmas
Is to be around my folks and friends,
Made a lot easier when,
Their love translates to presence;
Presence, present… priceless.
Whether it’s spiritual or seasonal, winter or yule,
Don’t let those connections slide,
Baby it’s cold outside, keep it warm on the inside.
