Heh, making a Christmas AMV without any actual Christmas scenes. Inventive to say the least. And that was such a sappy sweet video, I think I got cavities watching it. Good job.
On a technical note, the Grinch in me must point out the aspect ratio issue from 0:52 to 1:10 (an oval moon?). Plus, you could have got rid of the letterboxing (black bars) and made the video size something like 720 x 400 (16:9/1.78:1) or at least 720 x 432 (1.66:1).

Thanks, everyonel.
As you can tell, I'm still working out what's best in resizing the 16:9 to match 4:3. The video uses a straight NTSC 16:9 -> NTSC 4:3 conversion using the AMV Resize Calculator with no cropping, which is the first step.
Thank you for the suggestions on the footage size. I will apply them in the next 16:9 project I do.
