00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,454
Christ is being born, we're celebrating that.
2
00:00:03,712 --> 00:00:06,301
So to be able to do that as a family, as a symbol of
3
00:00:06,301 --> 00:00:08,511
this is what we profess, this is the beauty
4
00:00:08,511 --> 00:00:09,821
of the mystery of Christmas.
5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,803
I find something very profound in that.
6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,120
Hello, I'm Gabriel Guillaume.
7
00:00:18,479 --> 00:00:19,385
I'm Dylan Asmus.
8
00:00:19,576 --> 00:00:22,865
We are fifth year seminarians at Holy Spirit Seminary in Banyo.
9
00:00:23,414 --> 00:00:24,400
What are we doing today Dylan?
10
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:25,709
We're going to decorate a tree.
11
00:00:25,990 --> 00:00:26,582
For Christmas?
12
00:00:26,582 --> 00:00:27,120
For Christmas.
13
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:27,639
For Christmas.
14
00:00:29,478 --> 00:00:30,713
Let's do it!
15
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:37,526
I was never actually allowed to decorate the tree because I was too little.
16
00:00:37,930 --> 00:00:40,400
Then when I got older, I was not good enough.
17
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,449
Clearly looking at your style,
18
00:00:42,449 --> 00:00:45,489
I think there are other reasons why you didn't decorate a tree.
19
00:00:47,518 --> 00:00:49,051
Christmas was a good little bit of a holiday.
20
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,000
And my family traditions were always family based.
21
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,009
So we'd have Christmas was either
22
00:00:55,009 --> 00:00:57,040
at our place or at a relative's place.
23
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,798
And it was always everyone came to one place for Christmas.
24
00:01:00,798 --> 00:01:01,520
What about you, Gabriel?
25
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,224
Where did your family traditions sort of come from?
26
00:01:04,323 --> 00:01:06,480
It's always at my Aunty's place.
27
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,257
She's just so hospitable.
28
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:09,893
She's so generous.
29
00:01:10,913 --> 00:01:15,183
I don't think there is an option for anyone else to host a Christmas lunch
30
00:01:15,183 --> 00:01:17,246
because it's just it has to be at hers.
31
00:01:17,515 --> 00:01:19,519
I do think that
32
00:01:19,519 --> 00:01:24,643
family traditions do enhance the Christmas spirit, if you'd call it,
33
00:01:24,643 --> 00:01:27,107
like that sense of
34
00:01:27,107 --> 00:01:30,467
Christ is being born, we're celebrating that.
35
00:01:31,039 --> 00:01:34,960
Just as Mary, Joseph, and Jesus were gathered together,
36
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:36,771
the shepherds were there,
37
00:01:36,771 --> 00:01:40,606
the angels were glorifying the Lord and his birth.
38
00:01:41,267 --> 00:01:43,467
They all came to that spot to celebrate.
39
00:01:43,747 --> 00:01:46,615
So to be able to do that as a family, as a symbol of
40
00:01:46,615 --> 00:01:48,874
this is what we profess, this is the beauty
41
00:01:48,874 --> 00:01:50,166
of the mystery of Christmas.
42
00:01:50,502 --> 00:01:52,440
Yeah. I find something very profound in that.
43
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,661
A little bow tie, that's cool. Put that over there.
44
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,280
That is not fair!
45
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,123
I don't have a bow tie in my box.
46
00:02:05,426 --> 00:02:06,640
My box is good.
47
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,922
That's like extra points.
48
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:10,528
Dylan, take a look at this.
49
00:02:10,696 --> 00:02:12,320
This will win the prize.
50
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,113
Oh, that is beautiful, oh no, I'm blocking your bow tie, look,
51
00:02:16,113 --> 00:02:19,268
I can't do that, that would be against my character.
52
00:02:19,952 --> 00:02:21,498
You put a lot of effort into that bow tie.
53
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:23,850
It looks nice and smart.
54
00:02:25,038 --> 00:02:26,022
There we go.
55
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:27,440
Good stuff.
56
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,000
Look, I don't think that's too bad.
57
00:02:30,090 --> 00:02:31,723
No, my side's really good, I don't know about your side.
58
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,080
I'd give it,
59
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,777
I'd give it an eight and a half out of ten.
60
00:02:35,777 --> 00:02:36,787
That's pretty good.
61
00:02:36,787 --> 00:02:38,240
Your side is good. I like this thing.
62
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,360
Whatever this is, this is awesome.
63
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,201
I'm telling you.
64
00:02:40,201 --> 00:02:41,570
This little laurel wreath.
65
00:02:42,501 --> 00:02:43,974
I like it, You did a good job.
66
00:02:43,974 --> 00:02:45,154
You filled all the little gaps in.
67
00:02:45,535 --> 00:02:46,244
That's the main part,
68
00:02:46,244 --> 00:02:48,322
you don't want the gaps where you can see all the way through the tree.
69
00:02:48,322 --> 00:02:48,822
That's true.
70
00:02:49,019 --> 00:02:50,361
But I do love the pine cone
71
00:02:50,361 --> 00:02:52,484
because that takes me back to being a little kid
72
00:02:52,484 --> 00:02:54,492
covering it in PVA glue and rolling it in glitter.
73
00:02:55,322 --> 00:02:58,291
And that was like peak Christmas decoration.
74
00:02:58,381 --> 00:03:00,320
But I feel like something's missing from the top.
75
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,169
Something is missing.
76
00:03:01,427 --> 00:03:02,309
Let's get the star.
77
00:03:03,923 --> 00:03:04,968
Oh!
78
00:03:06,481 --> 00:03:07,090
Oh I like that.
79
00:03:07,090 --> 00:03:07,857
That's gorgeous.
80
00:03:07,857 --> 00:03:08,496
That's cool.
81
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,625
Now, between the two of us, you reckon we can get this on?
82
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,640
Okay, wait, you put it on.
83
00:03:14,415 --> 00:03:15,517
You're taller than I am.
84
00:03:15,517 --> 00:03:16,257
Oh, yeah. That's true.
85
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,776
Hey, we got it!
86
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,800
Not wonky at all!
87
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,159
That's the real engineering challenge.
88
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:23,403
I love it.
89
00:03:23,694 --> 00:03:25,033
Good stuff, I reckon we did a good job.
90
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:26,649
That's solid.
91
00:03:27,893 --> 00:03:29,015
So, we put up our tree
92
00:03:29,015 --> 00:03:31,445
and we hope that your Advent preparations are going really well.
93
00:03:31,770 --> 00:03:35,680
We hope that whatever family traditions you've got to do in this Advent season
94
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,190
that they bring you a lot of joy and happiness.
95
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:38,582
That's right.
96
00:03:38,672 --> 00:03:40,080
So, however you're going to gather around.
97
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,000
However you're going to actually prepare yourself,
98
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,096
just make sure you're doing it united with the Lord.
99
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,478
Like He wants you to do this preparation.
100
00:03:46,478 --> 00:03:48,657
He wants to bring you closer to the mystery of Christmas.
101
00:03:49,083 --> 00:03:50,913
So, use this time wisely
102
00:03:50,913 --> 00:03:52,085
to do things like this
103
00:03:52,085 --> 00:03:55,124
where it's putting you into that that mood, that spirit.
104
00:03:55,663 --> 00:03:56,911
We wish you all the best for that.
105
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,016
Happy Advent.
106
00:03:58,330 --> 00:03:58,954
Happy Advent.
