I just fell in love with Arnie the second I saw him. I had to do something with it.

I bought this from Guggenheim last year and didn't know what to do with it until yesterday.

Hello!

Sorry this is late. I’m never good with deadlines. It’s 2 days late- but I’ve made it!

In this video, you’ll find me having a conversation with my 6-year-old siblings (Yes, they’re all the same age!) about the existence of Santa and what “New Year” means to them. Although St. Nicholas (aka Santa) lived in Turkey, my siblings are unfamiliar with the term “Christmas”. It’s celebrated as a “secular holiday” in many places. Turkey is an example of that. We decorate trees! We eat, drink and laugh together. We just call it new year.

I took photos, wrote stuff but none worked for me. So, I made a video. Sorry for the terrible subtitle and my voice (it’so bad! winter!) and the ridiculous editing but hey, I’d never done any editing before hitRECord so this is new to me! It’s the content that matters, really. It’s just a natural conversation. RECorded life. Because, how often do we hear 6-year-olds having a discussion about Santa in Turkish?

Dear ibkellymorris, you’re wonderful. I  love your work. When I saw your name I went “hmm, this name sounds familiar” because it was! You’re one of the first HitRECorders I liked when I joined. It’s been almost 6 months since I joined and wow, you keep surprising me.

 I hope you enjoy this! I wish you a merry christmas (and a happy new year)
