Decorating the Tree and Preparing the Dinner

The decoration of tree and preparation of dinner are part of the joy of

Christmas. Be sure to record these happy family times!

Decorating the tree

A tree is the most important thing to bring out the mood of Christmas.

Simply the scene of all family members engaging in the decorating of a fir

tree with various colorful ornaments is full of the feeling of happiness.

After all preparations, it is finally the Christmas party itself.

Not only should you record the candle-blowing scene, but also the smiles of

the family while being surrounded by good food, or even the father who is

slightly drunk from champagne!

Finding the Presents

For children, the greatest joy of Christmas is receiving presents the next

morning.

Their expression of delight when finding a present next to their pillow is a

recording opportunity not to be missed. Get ready to shoot before the

children wake up!
