Gift card for a family film
The grandparents decide for themselves what goes into their film.
Example: your story can be this short
“The Weber family: Dad, Mum, Lena (6) and Bruno the dachshund. A typical Christmas: every year Bruno nicks a pig in blanket, the tree is wonky and Lena sings the loudest. The greeting goes to Grandma and Grandad. The ending: ‘Merry Christmas – we love you!’”
That's exactly how our example video “Christmas greeting from the Webers” was made.
