0:00 Framed by gifts, wrapped in warm colors and tied with ribbons in those hues as well as some dried orange slices and other round, ornaments, Anna and Raoul, a couple in their late thirties, greet their audience simultaneously. Raoul, a bearded man is wearing his green hoodie, which complements the wooden background, while Anna a brunette with long, naturally slightly wavy hair, is wearing a white top with thin black stripes and a classic, dark blazer with beautiful golden buttons on it. The buttons have been lovingly switched up by her mother, which gives it a more noble and sophisticated look. It happens to be one of her favorite blazers. They both greet the viewers concomitantly and talk about how crazy 2020 has been.
0:07 B-Roll My favorite tree every year has to be the tree in the high-end mall Levantehaus (Mönckebergstraße 7 for anyone who might be visiting in the future and want to take a look). It looked similar to the one last year, except, they added ornaments of skaters and other figures, which also were hung along the entire Mönckebergstr. from the town hall, almost to the main station. Raoul thanks the viewers for their support on behalf of both of them.
0:14 He thanks them for liking the georgian2go videos, sharing and commenting on them and he hopes that the viewers will have as much fun watching their videos as they have making them.
0:20 close up of a wooden, sun shaped ornament on a tree, a cherub playing the violin, surrounded by tiny stars in the frame, Christmas trees symmetrically to the left and right of him, he seems to be in front of a building...there are some red ribbons and orange peels on the tree as well.
0:22 Anna wishes the viewers good health and that 2021 will turn out, so much better than the current crazy year.
0:35 Five red candles, on an antique metal branch like chandelier show up while Anna wishes for the families and loved ones of their viewers to stay healthy . There are Christmas themed ornaments like angels and stars hanging on the branch, which Anna made when she moved to Prague. She must have been around 14...It was her mom's idea to hang them there and the combination is beautiful.
0:41 Anna wishes their viewers success in their endeavors and asks Raoul if she forgot anything, to which he responds with...I think that's enough!
0:49 While Anna proceeds to thank their viewers for watching, the viewers can see, the traditional Georgian New Year''s confection Gozinaki გოზინაყი, made by Anna's mom. Usually it's made with caramelized nuts, mostly and in this case with walnuts fried in honey. This crunchy Sweet is exclusively served during Christmas and New Year and is cut in Diamond shapes. According to the old religious belief nuts and honey were seen as holy foods and they were served to the lords. The name Gozi+naki = გოზი comes from ნიგოზი (nuts) and naki - ნაყი comes from დანაყვა which means to pound or crush.

1:23 A box of Merci Chocolate (by Storck, Germany) appears, a gift from my facility manager/janitor (she kindly gave all the students renting, on the day of the lock-down, 18.12.2020), at the same time it fits perfectly because we are incredibly grateful and want to thank you for your support.
