Slow TV

There's this new thing (okay not that new, but new to me as of today) called Slow TV.  

"Slow television, or slow TV (Norwegian: sakte-TV), is a term used for a genre of "marathon" television coverage of an ordinary event in its complete length. Its name is derived both from the long endurance of the broadcast as well as from the natural slow pace of the television programme's progress. It was popularised in the 2000s by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK), beginning with the broadcast of a 7-hour train journey in 2009.[1][2]" - Wikipedia, 12/17/21 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_television

I'm now going to incorporate this into my Holiday Traditions.  I can put one of these amazing videos up on my big screen tv, mute the sound, and play my holiday music. I'm looking forward to doing this.  Here are a few of my favorites Slow TV shows via YouTube so far:

These remind me of home:

Snow Falling on a Winter River (https://youtu.be/KFopoC1VCU4)

Snowy Forest #1 (https://youtu.be/Q0NbGurj_os)

Heavy Snowfall in Light Wind (https://youtu.be/o0heG65MqpI)

Snow Falling in the Evening (https://youtu.be/LNFU0fWtd7c)

Fast Falling Snow (https://youtu.be/V4Oosy-ZtGY)

And then there are these videos that take me somewhere new:

Snow Falling on Christmas Street (https://youtu.be/opDqVQAf9GQ)

Snow On The Canal (https://youtu.be/YwfsVPr1Hvk)

Winter at Kew | Kew Gardens (https://youtu.be/Yn_KRG86DFY)

Finally an antidote to the cold:

Fire in a Fireplace (https://youtu.be/-RZKdWXfpz8)

Fire in a Fire Pit (https://youtu.be/6Haqb0zNr3g)

There are hundreds of these types of videos.  I found out quickly that the ones from moving vehicles like trains or cars make me a little dizzy.  But I love the ones showing snow.  I don't get much snow here anymore.  The person who drives the car (yes that would be me) is happy with this change, but the person who sits and reads, and looks out the window (yes this is me too) is very sad. - Jenny
