The video is a brief reading from The Goopy Ghost at Christmas by author V. R. Duin. The dog may be a better actor.
Goopy wandered down a hall
that was dark, plain, and dreary,
so, the ghost began adding things
to make it bright and cheery.
Lilly watched from her bed as
that orange ghost used its goo
to paste ornaments on the wall
so they stuck like with glue!
Back and forth went Goopy
admiring its new art,
with dancing and gliding steps
that showed a happy heart.
“These are some of the miracles of Christmas seen through a child and a wee ghost. There also is a dog in the story. Goopy hugs everyone.”
