Which medium for my Holiday message?

Back in 2002, I began creating our own Holiday Cards (see picture) and continued until 2011 when I replace that medium with a video message. 

Creating a small film is much more work than just slapping together a visual collage with Photo-shop. It requires a narration, some kind of music and a series of shots, then every component needs to be stitched together by editing the whole product. 

Not counting the time I spend emailing the two-minute clip, it takes me from 24 to 36 hours to produce it. Sure, I get better with time, but I still don’t know if I’ll have the stamina to keep on churning out that annual project forever… 

Should I use my time on more productive endeavors?
