00:00:00,402 --> 00:00:01,760
Welcome to the fourth week of Advent.
2
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:02,560
I'm Dylan,
3
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:03,280
I'm Gabriel.
4
00:00:03,353 --> 00:00:05,914
We're fifth year seminarians at Holy Spirit Seminary
5
00:00:05,914 --> 00:00:07,520
and we're journeying towards Christmas,
6
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:08,697
so, we put up our tree.
7
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,265
We made our gingerbread houses,
8
00:00:10,265 --> 00:00:11,040
done our cards.
9
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,160
It's time for the presents.
10
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:13,200
Oh, this is very exciting.
11
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:14,842
Yes, Christmas is upon us.
12
00:00:15,196 --> 00:00:18,025
So, we are in this last week of preparation for Advent.
13
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,969
And what better way we thought to prepare
14
00:00:20,969 --> 00:00:23,070
than to get each other a gift
15
00:00:23,070 --> 00:00:24,375
and to wrap them.
16
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,579
Yes, I'm sure the three wise men
17
00:00:26,579 --> 00:00:28,281
did a very good job at wrapping their presents,
18
00:00:28,281 --> 00:00:30,133
let's see how we do wrapping ours.
19
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,160
So Gabriel, I'm going to leave,
20
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:32,884
you're going to wrap your present.
21
00:00:32,884 --> 00:00:34,581
All righty, let's take it away.
22
00:00:34,581 --> 00:00:35,129
Let's go.
23
00:00:39,837 --> 00:00:43,511
The gift I have for Dylan is this little icon.
24
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:47,330
It's actually the icon of Mary the Milk Giver.
25
00:00:48,053 --> 00:00:53,061
So, recently I've just gotten back into my artistry.
26
00:00:53,253 --> 00:00:55,261
I wanted to sketch something for him.
27
00:00:55,718 --> 00:00:58,674
In the past, Dylan has made me gifts of a sort like this.
28
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,212
So, I thought,
29
00:01:00,212 --> 00:01:02,221
why not return the favour at a time like this.
30
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,202
So, let's go.
31
00:01:04,423 --> 00:01:08,191
So, probably the reason why I chose such an icon,
32
00:01:08,191 --> 00:01:09,717
the original of this
33
00:01:09,717 --> 00:01:10,982
comes from the sixth century,
34
00:01:10,981 --> 00:01:13,543
so, it's an old icon of Our Lady
35
00:01:13,543 --> 00:01:17,017
in the act of nurturing, feeding the newborn child.
36
00:01:17,887 --> 00:01:21,572
Of course, in this scene, she's doing it royally.
37
00:01:21,852 --> 00:01:24,593
Christ is dressed in His garments,
38
00:01:24,593 --> 00:01:26,760
His royal garments, and so is Our Lady.
39
00:01:26,874 --> 00:01:28,880
All you mothers out there watching this,
40
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,148
actually, my poor mum watching this,
41
00:01:32,148 --> 00:01:35,202
knowing that my wrapping skills aren't the best.
42
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,474
I've seen people in the shops do this before,
43
00:01:38,474 --> 00:01:41,280
so I'm going off what I've seen them do.
44
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,865
Oh, I'm butchering that.
45
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,517
Okay, I'm so sorry, Dylan.
46
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,111
Forgive me, this is painful.
47
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,002
If you were having a good day up until this point,
48
00:01:51,002 --> 00:01:52,939
this is probably causing you some pain.
49
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,400
So, my prayer for you, Dylan,
50
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,622
in doing this gift is that
51
00:01:58,622 --> 00:02:02,678
Our Lady will gift herself to you in a new way this Christmas season.
52
00:02:03,283 --> 00:02:04,665
So, there you have it.
53
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,993
That's as good as it's going to get.
54
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,680
I can tuck in the corners,
55
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,596
I've always seen my mum do that with hers.
56
00:02:12,112 --> 00:02:14,353
And it looks like that's the only thing I've learned from her
57
00:02:14,353 --> 00:02:15,760
in terms of wrapping gifts.
58
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,323
There you go.
59
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:19,509
Just don't look at the edges.
60
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:20,937
But there it is, Dylan.
61
00:02:21,099 --> 00:02:22,004
Merry Christmas.
62
00:02:22,387 --> 00:02:24,414
I look forward to your reaction.
63
00:02:25,107 --> 00:02:26,456
So, for Gabriel,
64
00:02:26,456 --> 00:02:29,028
I have got this little statue of Jesus.
65
00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:32,291
So, a couple of years ago, I bought a 3D printer
66
00:02:32,291 --> 00:02:33,882
and I paint miniatures.
67
00:02:34,177 --> 00:02:35,732
So, I 3D printed him for
68
00:02:35,732 --> 00:02:37,850
I think it was his birthday a couple of years ago,
69
00:02:37,850 --> 00:02:39,400
Jesus in Gethsemane crying.
70
00:02:39,621 --> 00:02:40,755
And I thought
71
00:02:40,755 --> 00:02:42,549
I should give him a happy Jesus for Christmas.
72
00:02:42,682 --> 00:02:44,882
I think that's, you know, a nice thing,
73
00:02:44,882 --> 00:02:47,023
have a happy Jesus next to his sad Jesus for Gabriel.
74
00:02:47,023 --> 00:02:48,713
So 3D printed it,
75
00:02:48,713 --> 00:02:50,137
and painted it up for Gabriel.
76
00:02:50,137 --> 00:02:51,728
So put a bit of thought into it.
77
00:02:52,052 --> 00:02:55,090
And I know Gabriel likes it when people, you know, make things.
78
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,177
It's better than sort of buying stuff.
79
00:02:57,177 --> 00:02:59,702
So I thought it'd be nicer to put some effort into it
80
00:02:59,702 --> 00:03:01,023
and then give it to Gabriel as a gift.
81
00:03:01,303 --> 00:03:03,023
That's what I've got him for Christmas.
82
00:03:03,347 --> 00:03:04,720
I want to kind of disguise what it is,
83
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,200
so I'm going to make it seem like I got him a bottle of wine or something.
84
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,858
So we'll see how we go.
85
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,658
I thought about getting him a Mary
86
00:03:11,658 --> 00:03:13,614
because he hasn't got a Mary statue by me yet.
87
00:03:14,071 --> 00:03:15,431
But I thought
88
00:03:15,431 --> 00:03:19,024
the Sacred Heart one was really nice, it's got like a little gold shining
89
00:03:19,024 --> 00:03:22,219
shining chest and the Sacred Heart there, which I know Gabriel is a big fan of.
90
00:03:22,867 --> 00:03:27,251
So I thought that will be a bit of a nice personal touch.
91
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,840
Gabriel's a very thoughtful person.
92
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,040
So I'm sure he wanted to wrap mine really well,
93
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,000
but I don't know how good he is at wrapping.
94
00:03:39,086 --> 00:03:41,568
It's the thought that counts is what I'm sort of banking on.
95
00:03:41,878 --> 00:03:44,320
I know that some of you are probably horrified,
96
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,598
horrified by the the level of wrapping but
97
00:03:47,598 --> 00:03:48,560
that's what we're going to go with.
98
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,515
Now, one present for Gabriel, ready to put under the tree.
99
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:54,781
So, we finished wrapping our gifts.
100
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,053
Some people did a better job wrapping than others.
101
00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,686
Look, we did our best.
102
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,261
We did do our best.
103
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,565
We're going to practice a little tradition of
104
00:04:03,565 --> 00:04:06,099
opening one present a little bit early before Christmas.
105
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,248
So, Gabriel, Merry Christmas.
106
00:04:08,396 --> 00:04:09,530
Oh, thank you, Dylan.
107
00:04:10,518 --> 00:04:11,280
Whatever can it be?
108
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,203
Is it safe to shake it like tradition?
109
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,840
Oh, yes, very loud and clear.
110
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:16,804
All right, let's do it.
111
00:04:17,585 --> 00:04:19,840
Well look, you've done well with your sticky tape, I'll give you that.
112
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:23,673
The tape was the best part of the wrapping,
113
00:04:23,673 --> 00:04:25,000
was my strongest area.
114
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:27,786
There we go. Oh!
115
00:04:28,833 --> 00:04:30,685
Oh, wow.
116
00:04:31,098 --> 00:04:32,742
That's so cool.
117
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,417
Look what it is!
118
00:04:35,918 --> 00:04:36,982
A little Jesus.
119
00:04:37,247 --> 00:04:38,245
Sacred Heart is it?
120
00:04:38,245 --> 00:04:38,873
Sacred Heart.
121
00:04:38,873 --> 00:04:40,237
Wow, that is beautiful, bro.
122
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:41,893
That's incredible.
123
00:04:43,663 --> 00:04:45,000
I love that so much.
124
00:04:46,131 --> 00:04:46,631
Thank you.
125
00:04:46,981 --> 00:04:47,822
Very good, Gabriel.
126
00:04:48,693 --> 00:04:49,528
That is one
127
00:04:49,528 --> 00:04:52,312
3D printed, hand painted, Sacred Heart Jesus for you.
128
00:04:52,312 --> 00:04:53,929
It's 3D printed!
129
00:04:54,164 --> 00:04:55,852
Oh my gosh.
130
00:04:56,678 --> 00:04:57,853
There's no way!
131
00:04:58,086 --> 00:04:59,874
That is beautiful, thank you so much for that.
132
00:05:00,213 --> 00:05:02,240
My pleasure Gabriel, Happy Christmas.
133
00:05:02,657 --> 00:05:03,240
Alright, Dylan.
134
00:05:04,346 --> 00:05:05,204
There you go.
135
00:05:05,204 --> 00:05:06,066
Thank you, Gabriel.
136
00:05:06,066 --> 00:05:07,520
Gabriel did a very good job,
137
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,610
he put a little bow on this one for me.
138
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:10,720
There we go.
139
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,520
Okay, good stuff.
140
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,560
Look at that, that is wonderful.
141
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,752
And you wrote my full name on there,
142
00:05:13,752 --> 00:05:16,000
I wrote D and G.
143
00:05:18,301 --> 00:05:19,760
Gabriel's a very thoughtful man.
144
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,499
Let's go.
145
00:05:22,148 --> 00:05:24,041
He's very good at wrapping, I tell you what,
146
00:05:24,041 --> 00:05:26,793
Gabriel probably took a lot more time to wrap than I did, so,
147
00:05:26,793 --> 00:05:28,480
that's good, I appreciate the effort.
148
00:05:29,187 --> 00:05:30,638
I like that you're being very careful with it.
149
00:05:30,638 --> 00:05:31,179
Yes.
150
00:05:31,415 --> 00:05:34,292
I should have put a delicate sticker on it.
151
00:05:34,292 --> 00:05:37,366
Oh, good, okay, very good, very good.
152
00:05:38,989 --> 00:05:40,512
I won't to see it until it's fully out.
153
00:05:42,105 --> 00:05:43,425
Gabriel, that's fantastic.
154
00:05:44,015 --> 00:05:44,938
Look at that!
155
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,640
So yeah, it's meant to be a magnetic frame.
156
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:49,148
Yes.
157
00:05:49,148 --> 00:05:51,053
But the magnets, not very strong.
158
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,040
That's alright, we can easily fix it. We can fix that.
159
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,507
That's fantastic. That's wonderful.
160
00:05:54,758 --> 00:05:55,258
There you go.
161
00:05:55,258 --> 00:05:56,099
That's wonderful, Gabriel.
162
00:05:56,497 --> 00:05:57,743
Hold it up so that everyone can see it.
163
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,041
That's wonderful.
164
00:06:00,132 --> 00:06:01,417
And this is hand done?
165
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:02,061
It is.
166
00:06:02,547 --> 00:06:04,320
Oh, that's very thoughtful, thank you so much, Gabriel.
167
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,747
Merry Christmas. That is lovely.
168
00:06:05,747 --> 00:06:06,653
That's really wonderful.
169
00:06:06,771 --> 00:06:08,057
I know exactly where I'm going to put that.
170
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,120
Excellent, excellent.
171
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,218
Thank you. Merry Christmas.
172
00:06:10,218 --> 00:06:10,894
Merry Christmas.
173
00:06:12,118 --> 00:06:13,655
Well everyone,
174
00:06:13,655 --> 00:06:17,116
we wish you a very merry and blessed Christmas.
175
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,224
Thank you for joining us
176
00:06:19,224 --> 00:06:21,417
these last few weeks of Advent.
177
00:06:21,653 --> 00:06:23,404
We pray it's been a blessed time for you
178
00:06:23,404 --> 00:06:24,581
as it has been for us.
179
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,760
We pray every sort of Christmas blessing upon your life,
180
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,188
upon your family,
181
00:06:29,188 --> 00:06:31,450
