<\/p>\n

Everybody talks about Christmas from January to December 31st<\/sup>, so wouldn\u2019t it be great to go back and revisit it? We can\u2019t think of a better way to spend Christmas Eve than reliving Christmas of yore with a tasty tipple before heading to bed to avoid an awkward conversation with Santa; so gather round your twinkling tree as we offer you some advice to make this year\u2019s Christmas home video the best yet!<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Exercise Discretion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Try not to be the elephant in the room, getting in everybody\u2019s faces. Not only does it serve to kill the vibe, but you are sure to turn whatever activity is going on into a forced-affair for the camera. People being natural is what is going to make next year\u2019s rerun of the film that little bit sweeter. Some people love<\/em> being on camera and it could turn into the Them Show<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Plan Ahead<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no fun in being the<\/em> director all night, so you don\u2019t need to keep the camera on you continually. As such, it pays to make sure that you plan for the big moments of the evening, like the toasts or the present opening. These are the moments you\u2019ll cherish reliving.<\/p>\n

Tell the Story<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Your film will be great if you follow the events as they unfold. Try capturing the little things like atmospheric shots of the Christmas Tree or people arriving. People love to dress zanily on Christmas, so make sure to capture it and make them regret it! For amusement purposes, of course…<\/p>\n

But most of all…<\/p>\n

Have Fun!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Your overriding memory of Christmas will be an internal feeling and memory of whether you had fun or not, so make sure that you allow yourself time to enjoy it. Don\u2019t be on camera duty all<\/em> day. In fact, spread the duty; it\u2019ll give a great view of Christmas through the eyes of each the attendees.<\/p>\n

Finally, take time out to reminisce with your friends and family. It\u2019s that warm, fuzzy feeling that we all chase around this time of year.
