Congratulations - you're almost there. This page has links to YouTube videos which I thought you might like to watch. during this holiday season. Just click on the link and it should take you there. Some are peaceful or serious works, others are not. - I started this list with the idea of creating reflection and peace of the season, but it kind of went off track in the middle to try to include videos that others might find pleasant. There is no order. Also they may have ads. I subscribe to YouTube premium which takes the ads out, so I don't know which ones or where the ads appear. Sorry about that.
A cute full movie ("A Christmas Story") how Christmas looks to a 9 year old is available at the KHCPL (library) . Also you might see if you can check out 'Mixed Nuts' (an LA based Christmas comedy with Steve Martin, Madeline Kahn and Rob Reiner). Its one of our favorites. " The 'Point" , a cartoon story with a moral by Harry Nilsson is on YouTube (movie is a little over an hour). I'll post that link at the end of the shorter videos.When I typed this, the first two from the library had been checked out.

Lyrics: In my fantasy I dream of a just world
There, all live in peace and honesty
I dream of souls that are always free
Like the clouds that fly
Full of humanity deep in the soul
In my fantasy I see a bright world
where even the night is less dark
I dream of souls that are always free
Like the clouds that fly
Full of humanity deep in the soul

One day I'll hear The laugh of children In a world where war has been banned One day I'll see Men of all colors Sharing worlds of love and devotion Stand up and feel The Holy Spirit Find the power of your faith Open you heart To those who need you In the name of love and devotion Yes I believe I believe in the people Of all nations To join and care For love I believe in a world Where light will guide us And giving our love We'll make heaven on earth I believe in a world Where light will guide us And giving our love We'll make heaven on earth
