Merry Christmas! Like I do every year, I spent the past week making a weird as hell little Christmas movie, since there's nothing I love more than adding a big stressful project with a hard deadline to the holiday season! This is the NINTH year we've done this, which is...wild.

This was a big collaboration, mostly with Jake and Matt. The whole cast and crew is in the credits. We had a lot of fun making it. I hope you enjoy the 7 minutes it takes to watch it.

Thanks for your continued support this year. I quite literally could not do this without you all. Have a great holiday! I'll be back soon.

(my parents say hi!)

I really enjoy your cinematography & color grading in general. Looks splendid on a Retina display. Also killer special FX on this vid. Plus jokes! Great vid! Thanks Patrick! Great performances all around!

I appreciated that one. Every Christmas, Father's Day, and birthday for as long as I can remember, my father has asked for the same thing, a Texas Roadhouse gift card, which I have generally gotten him. A few times I have branched out and gotten something else I thought would be perfect. His reactions have been...less than enthusiastic. So I continue getting the gift cards, yet I can't help but wonder if there's something he'd like more. After watching this, I think I'll leave well enough alone. Texas Roadhouse it is.

Very enjoyable, but also looked very good.
