Family pulls out all the stops for Christmas video

Many families go to the trouble of making novel Christmas card videos to send to relatives, but the Slade family really pulled out the stops this year. Complete with costumes, camera tricks and the family pets, the Slades don't hold back.

'This year, each member of our family was asked what they would want if they could have ANYTHING for Christmas,' Micah Slade wrote on his YouTube page. 'This video is the result of those wishes coming true!' He also gave a little background on their incredible creation, writing that his family was 'so awesome and patient,' and that 'there was a lot of math involved that I never thought I would use in my life.'
