I've never filmed with my new camera or made a video on my iMac so I thought it would be fun having a go and at the same time show you this year's advent decor. The tree's till to come. We usually put it up around mid month which I know a lot of Swedes find early. Tradition in a lot of families it so put it up the day before Christmas Eve (23rd) and keep it up for 20 day after but I much prefer to put it up earlier and take it down after soon after New Year's Eve.
Anywho, here goes. Enjoy!
I love your video - it's so full of Christmas spirit and has really got me in the mood now!

That was fun, thanks! It's nice to see all the bits and pieces you showed us over time now connected.
A technical question: where did you cut the movie in, did you use iMovie? And did you ned to convert the files from the MarkII before you could use them there?
Posted by: Judith | December 04, 2012 at 11:59 AM
Very, very good!
Posted by: Maria | December 04, 2012 at 12:08 PM
Marvelous film. The rythm of the camera is perfect.
A Merry, merry Christmas and an Happy 2013 to you to Benita, and for all yours beloveds.

Nice! Your place is very inviting!
Posted by: Annika | December 04, 2012 at 12:36 PM
Yes, I used iMovie and I didn't convert the files.
Posted by: Benita ~ Chez Larsson | December 04, 2012 at 12:38 PM
Very well done.
Posted by: dede | December 04, 2012 at 01:22 PM
Gorgeous! Also - I must ask you - where did you get those candle lights (the ones on the windowsill), I love how they are all juxtaposed with one another - I'd love to get something similar. Now if only it would *snow* already! We had a decent frost this morning and all the kids were "skating" on the school playground this morning - with all the teachers rushing around worrying about health and safety - but it was so festive because everyone get so excited at the first sign of anything vaguely white that looks like ice/snow!

Nice movie! Perfect christmas spirit, I must say. I really like the fresh and light style of yours:) Also, I wonder where you got those Christmas trees in the glass bulb/dome?
Posted by: Fröken Prickig | December 04, 2012 at 02:03 PM
The trees are from Illums Bolighus!
Posted by: Benita ~ Chez Larsson | December 04, 2012 at 02:04 PM
So fun! Love the video. Now can I see the cats playing in your magazine holder? Pretty please!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, the worldwide premiere of Chez Larsson Advent, a Christmas feel good and stylish decorating your house for the Holidays story. Already rumoured to be Oscar nominated for cinematography and set design. :-).
I really liked it. It made me feel as if I was visiting your house. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your video with us, the peaceful quiet beauty of your decor takes all the stresses of the day away. We can all take a lesson from this and shy away from the over the top decor here in North America, so I say relax people less is more as they say.
Enjoy the comfort of home with friends and family.
cheers

ohhh... beautiful! thank you for sharing your lovely home & holiday decorations. It was fun to see some of your decorations from year's past - in particular, the town scene on the window sill. Makes me feel like I've been invited over for a warm mug of holiday cheer!

Love your Christmas video! Your decorating style is impeccable - cozy, not "over the top bling-bling" as in certain other countries!
Thanks for sharing. Let's see Mini and Bonus next time!
