We started down a rather unconventional route for our 2010 Christmas card and there was simply no turning back. The pull of the dark side was just too strong.

Here's our adaptation of a wonderful poem by the fantastic Neil Gaiman.

    Excellent! I read this in 'Smoke and Mirrors' the other day and I love the macabre tone that Neil can bring to even the merriest of holidays.

    Absolutely lovely! I just found my way to this because Neil Gaimain himself Tweeted about it. I figured if he loved it, it had to be good.

    I love the narrator's brogue. It adds a certain "old world" feel to the tone of the story. Brilliant video.

    Beautifully done, but consider bringing down the music box audio. It overwhelms the dialogue and makes the narration very difficult to hear.
  • Jamie O'Neill 1 year ago
    I have to agree with Gloria here. The video is great but the narration could come through a bit better with a wee bit tweeking...
