The moment

Your video has the door and the ta-da

The Christmas lights wife moment is the door: it opens just after midnight on November 1st, and the tree is already going up at full speed on the other side.

Your Christmas lights wife video shows it in 8 seconds from your photo: the door opens, she hurries round a lit tree in a Santa hat with fairy lights round her shoulders, then spins to the camera with her arms wide while the one at the door shakes their head.
