Each year when the holidays roll around you probably take dozens of photos and shoot tons of video. Then what? They get tucked away, only to be pulled out for the occasional recminiscing.

Well, here’s your chance to change that. Your family’s holiday photos and video clips could appear on NBC17.

Here’s the deal. NBC17 is putting together a 23-minute holiday television show that will feature photos and videos from Triangle residents. But in order for her to create the show, she needs stuff to fill it with – that’s where you come in.

Do you have any photos or video clips from your family’s holiday celebrations that you’d love to appear on air? NBC17’s Page Crawford is piecing together all sorts of content. So if you’ve got an old video clip of your child doing a funny dance because she got a Tickle Me Elmo doll, send it Page’s way. She’ll even take photos of your kids crying when they met Santa for the first time or videos of your over-the-top yard decorations.

If you’d like to have some of your memories possibly appear on TV, you can submit them to http://www.holidays.mync.com. Please only submit stuff if you live in the Triangle though. Page is trying to fill the show with lots of local stuff.
