A father videotaped his kids coming down the stairs on Christmas morning for a quarter century and now the son has compiled them into a heartwarming video.

The son explains: Every year, our dad would tape us coming down the stairs. This is a compilation of all the videos I could find. Relatives and pets grow up and disappear, and new extended family members appear in their place. The song is Vince Guaraldi's amazing Christmas Time is Here.

What a great idea if you've been carrying on that tradition or your folks did.
