A Renegade Christmas Video Worth Your Time
Christmas means a lot of different things to different people.
To your child, it might be about Santa Claus and sharing gifts with friends and family.
To your neighbor, it might be about Midnight Mass and worshiping a chosen Messiah.
To you, we hope it’s about joy, love and exciting expectations.
The Christmas spirit is YOUR spirit. The laughter and merriment associated with the season come from within you. The Christmas star and bright lights shine from your soul.
So on that note, we — the Goss family and our team at LWL Worldwide — wish you an incredibly joyful and Merry Christmas.
We appreciate you as our customer, subscriber, blog reader, and/or social media connection who digs what we do — and we dig you right back.
2010 hasn’t been an easy year for many of us, so we’d like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making it great in spite of tough conditions.
Of course, we all know that tough times make us stronger, and deserve our gratitude for the opportunity to learn, grow and develop. But sometimes it’s easy to lose sight of that fact when we’re in the thick of it — so we admire you for keeping your skin in the game.
And we’d like to ask you to join us in making 2011 an even better year, where we can all rise above socio-economic situations if we choose to.
To spread some holiday joy, we’d like to share a “new classic” Christmas song by The Florin Street Band, led by Leigh Hagerwood, who had a dream to create a heart-warming song that would capture the true spirit of Christmas.
When record companies weren’t interested, Hagerwood took the renegade approach we like so much and made it himself (with a little help from his friends).
The video is set in the innocent, traditional Victorian era, and has echoes of Dickens and other classic childhood Christmas memories… along with a little bit of the Cheers theme song (in our humble opinions).
Enjoy watching it with your family or friends, and share this blog post to spread the Christmas cheer even further.

Thank you very much, this day and age there is so many remakes of the old songs, its refreshing to hear something new but so very Christmas and seasonal,
Have a happy holiday guys and a prosperous New Year.
What a charming and perfectly lovely song, thank you!
Merriest of Christmases & a Brilliant New Year!
I’m actually quite impressed by the “production values” of the video as well! Mr. Hagerwood definitely understands the real power of a dream, and that comes through in the underlying message of the video as well.
I fear that in this rapidly-evolving social environment, we’re starting to lose memories of many of our long-standing traditions – both as a people and as individuals. I suppose that may be largely just a function of my age, and that a certain longing for some aspects of “the good old days” to continue to prevail in our current lives may be clouding my vision somewhat.
But getting back to the video…
Splendid costumes, wonderful camera work, and outstanding editing and post-production. These folks not only know what they’re doing, but you can tell that they love doing it – it really comes through.
And on that note,
HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
May 2011 bring you everything you deserve!
I think this was a first rate video production on par with anything you would see on television. You can tell this was made with a lot of love and enthusiasm for their work, great job.
You keep delivering tiny gems throughout the year. Keep up the good work for the new year as well & may God bless your family richly as you continue to be a blessing to others!
This is such a well done video(in my opinion), that I am unable to seem to get enough of it. I am very grateful that you shared this with us. And I have sent it on to others.
Good job, great performance by everyone. I just wish that when they make the music that they would lower the volume of the musical instruments and let you hear the voices. The instruments are supposed to support the singing, not the other way around.
Otherwise it was a great performance.
Beautiful song, great video!
