Meet the Aussie family obsessed with Christmas
A Sydney family are taking Christmas joy to a whole new level, creating elaborate festive videos which keep getting bigger and better each year.
Not content with just sending out the stock standard family greeting card, four generations of the Reynolds family come together to put on a fun, happy performance in front of the camera.
The family have been doing it for a decade now and this year four generations are getting into the festive spirit.

The fun and frivolity is hosted at great-grandmother 'Lady' Joan O'Regan's Haberfield home, where over six decades of Christmas decorations are used as props and costumes in the show.
"You've got no idea how much has gone into it and my crazy grandson adds to it every year," Ms O'Regan told Today.
Ms O'Regan said her mother was a big fan of Christmas and that joy for the holiday season had been passed down to the younger generations in the family as well.
Her grandson Ash Reynolds said this year they wanted to recap the past decade, bringing back all the decorations and costumes from previous videos.
"We've done a lot of different themes over the last 10 years," he said.
"We wanted to have a bit of everything. It was a good opportunity to bring out all the stops. It was good fun - good to revive some of the old costumes."

The videos get a great reaction each time the family put them together and this year, they even used a morph suit and special effects to make it appear as though one of the newest additions to the family was being strung up on top of the Christmas tree.
"We got mum to dress up in a morph sheet and she's holding the baby there, shaking after the gym," Ash said.
"We got it safely done in the end and hopefully we green-screened her out pretty well."
The family go all out, even making the baby appear to float using special effects. Today
