Time just got away from me. But I had worked on a post earlier, so rather than waiting until 2025 I’m just going to go ahead and share it.
I was hoping to post it yesterday so I could slip it in as a Boxing Day article – so I’m just going to pretend it’s STILL December 26th.
Boxing Day, a UK holiday tradition celebrated the day after Christmas, was once a day to donate gifts to those in need. But it has now evolved to become a part of Christmas festivities, and an extension for those of us wanting to participate in the PoliticsPlus Holiday Festivities – but got tied up with other things.
To start I created some GIFs of the drone light show employing 4,981 drones to create the Guinness record-breaking holiday display over Mansfield, Texas on November 26, 2023
The spectacular show was created by Sky Elements Drone Shows and UVify, a North Texas-based drone company.
To be honest, I’ll post the YouTube source video – but they make so many cuts and change of speed it was a bit difficult.
(And you might want to kick up the speed in YouTube because the drones tend to move pretty slow in performing their precision aerial display.)
In the same order as the video:
And here’s the source YouTube video:
And I borrowed a Jacquie Lawson Christmas message to add the one word we’re all hoping for:
And it just wouldn’t be Christmas without a reprise of those Caroling Penguins. (That song STILLS makes me chuckle just thinking about it.)
♩ ♪ ♫ ♬
Hark! The Herald Penguins sing:
Please don’t eat our little wings!
Eat a goose down to the bone,
But leave Penguins all alone.
♩ ♪ ♫ ♬
Baby ducks are very sweet,
Tastier than Penguin meat.
If we’re carried in your store,
Please, don’t shop there anymore!
