In all seriousness, this has been a crazy, annoying year as all, and the way I see it, we all played a part in making it terrible. Anyhow, if you are a fan of stop motion, and ball jointed dolls, I hope you find this comedy video amusing. At least, I was trying to go for the funny. i still kept up with the Christmas decorations.

I took a couple of teaser photos for my new stop motion video. It will feature Elvira giving the presents to the dolls. I will not tell you the order of events.
