Every year since 2013, I’ve made a holiday harp video for my YouTube channel, Faery Halo. This year I posted two videos and a third on my Facebook page for my Likers to appreciate. Last year, I did a COVID-19 themed parody, and I thought it would be my only chance to do so. However this pandemic has lasted long enough to make a second COVID Christmas Carol. Although it is sad that it’s going on for this long, I’m attempting to lighten the mood with some harped humor. Last year the parody was of Silence Night, and this year it’s Jingle Bells.
Below is the COVID Christmas Carol for 2021. This is the “Nice List” video. My harp music is the audio from my 2016
holiday video, and then I added a track for my vocals. I selected the coolest masks I could find for
the refrain, and I took racial diversity into account. I made the viral snow animation at the end.
The next video is for the Naughty List. Krampus is the Christmas monster who picks up badly behaved children and carries them in a sack, returning to his home where he either consumes them or makes them do his housework? He’s known to whip the naughty kids too.
In 2018, I spontaneously improvised a song for Krampus and recorded it. I had filtered the first video in black and white for a nice, dramatic effect, otherwise it would have just been my living room and cheery trimmed tree in the background. I took the same audio from that video and made a slideshow of fun Krampus images. The progression of shaded Krampus pictures were my edits. The last three slides are memes I made, which you can find on my Facebook page, Caro Memes. The third video is also a Krampus video that I plan to post next year. You can find it on my harp page also on Facebook, Faery Halo.
Here is the “Naughty List” video.
