Originally created this a couple of years ago for our church’s online ‘Carol Service’ during Covid lockdown.
Given the improvements in Geometry nodes, that would clearly be the way to do it now, but when I built the scene a couple of years back, I used a particle system.
I improved the look a little last Christmas.
This Christmas I added a few extra tracks to the music.
