December Days: Day 11: Away in a manger

Watch on YouTube

[YouTube video, about 30 seconds long. Humuhumu sings "Away in a manger", followed by applause from her serenaded parents.]

Happy Friday! Humuhumu was an angel in her pre-school nativity play and got to say the last line all by herself ("And that is the story of Christmas.") She practised her songs faithfully for weeks beforehand. Usually early in the morning when she came in to the Big Bed.

Aw, well done Humuhumu! I can tell she's been practising hard!

[nanila]

Indeed she has. Hopefully she'll sing some carols for her Granny & Granddad at Christmas. :)

What a great job!

[nanila]

:) She's quite good at memorisation!

Awwwww! Bless! :o)

:D I love the way she bounces to keep time.

Hooray, what a great memory and a lovely rendition!

I meant to ask with the last video, there's some sort of weird distortion that happens in the background when she bounces around. Is that some sort of autocorrection that the camera/processing software is trying to do to keep Humuhumu centered in the image? It's...distracting at best.

[nanila]

Thank you!

Yeah, that was me making the mistake of trusting YouTube's automatic video correction button. I think it was trying to stabilise the image. Usually I find the stabilisation works well to eliminate camera shake, but for these videos it's just irritating. Sorry. :(

What a nice way to wake up.

It's lovely to be serenaded in bed by a happy child. :)
