A Christmas Story

12/24/2021

3 Comments

 
It's Christmas, and I wanted to revisit my favourite Christmas story - the one I put together after last Christmas. I had thought about doing it for years, and finally did it.  It turned out to be the perfect time too, since much of it needed to be shot out in the snow, and we rarely get snow in December like we had last year. It would have been impossible this year.

A Christmas Story was the longest story I'd ever attempted up to that point, and it can be found in Favourite Photos 2021.  I just want to share some of my favourite photos from the story, in the form of a very short synopsis, and will put a link at the end.....

Princess Elora leaving to see if she can see the baby in the manger at the village Inn...
Picture
Lost in the woods...
Picture
Hans, a boy from the village, hears her crying in the woods....
Picture
The woodcutter's dog brings help...
Picture
Nick takes the children home to his cabin....
Picture
Where his granddaughter, Nora, takes a look at Elora's foot...
Picture
Meanwhile the Queen is very worried when she can't find her daughter....
Picture
So the King and his men go out in search of her....
Picture
They come across Hans' parents who are out searching for their son....
Picture
The Princess is busy making popcorn chains for Nick and Nora's tree....
Picture
While Nick heads towards the castle, and comes across both search parties...
Picture
The King is relieved to find his daughter safe....
Picture
...and invites everyone to the castle for dinner on Christmas, the next day....
Picture
The King and his daughter leave...
Picture
...and head for home...
Picture
The Queen is relieved to have her daughter safe, back home....
Picture
...and confirms that Elora has only sprained her ankle....
Picture
Picture
Her father brings Elora a crutch so she can still hobble around...
Picture
The next day was Christmas, and Elora spent the entire day looking out the window for her new friends to arrive...
Picture
When they finally arrive, the Queen thanks Hans for his part in Elora's rescue...
Picture
When they all sat down to dinner....
Picture
Elora sat beside her new friend...
Picture
After dinner, Nick and Nora presented the two children with gifts...
Picture
Nick had worked late into the night to put together two Nativity scenes, so the children could finally get to see the Newborn King in the manger....
Picture
That night Elora put the Nativity scene on her night table so she could lay and look at it....
Picture
It had truly been the best Christmas ever!

I remember this story. It doesn't seem like it was posted a year ago. Wow, 2021 really zipped by.

The last photo makes me want to say, "good night, little princess."

It was my Christmas project last year, and the story was first posted in January. I consider it one of my best works.
