All I want for Christmas is YOUUUUUUUUUU !!!

"All I want for Xmas is YOUUUUUUUU!"

Love Actually

***

Christmas is a time to be together.
Xmas is a time to go back home.
Xmas is a time to travel.
Xmas is THE time when airports and trains are crowded.

Xmas is a time to celebrate.
Xmas is a time to sing.
Xmas is a time to pray.
Xmas is a time to eat too much delicious food.
Xmas is a time to rest.
Xmas is a time to experience peace.

Xmas has always been a time to watch movies too.
French TV always broadcast many of them between Xmas and New Year's Eve.
We'll have "Gone with the wind" again.
We'll have many cartoon (Disney, Asterix...) too.
We'll have Xmas movies too.

Xmas holidays start today in France.
I wished my friends to enjoy this time with their family.
"Merry Xmas and see you in 2012"

I can't imagine that 2011 started almost a year ago.
Time goes by too fast.
Luckily even when life is hard, you have your relatives.
That's what really matters.

"Love Actually" always makes me feel happy & Xmas-y, laugh, sing and want to live in London.
I know the dialogues by heart.

It gathers most of the best British sexiest actors.

Enjoy !

Lyrics :

Cuántas veces nos salvó el pudor

Y mis ganas de siempre buscarte

Pedacito de amor delirante

Colgada de tu cuello un sábado de lluvia a las 5 de la tarde

Sabe dios

Como me cuesta dejarte

Y te miro mientras duermes

Mas no voy a despertarte

Es que hoy se me agoto la esperanza

Porque con lo que nos queda de nosotros ya no alcanza

Eres lo que mas he querido en la vida

Lo que mas he querido

Eres lo que mas he querido

En la vida

Lo que mas he querido

Cuántas veces quise hacerlo bien

Y pequé por hablar demasiado

No saber donde como ni cuando

Todos estos años caminando juntos

Ahora no parecen tantos

Sabe dios

Todo el amor que juramos

Pero hoy ya no es lo mismo

Ya no vamos a engañarnos

Es que soy

Una mujer en el mundo

Que hizo todo lo que pudo

No te olvides ni un segundo

Que eres lo que mas he querido

En la vida

Lo que mas he querido

Eres lo que mas he querido

En la vida

Lo que mas he querido

Happy Holidays

Since it's December, 1rst today, there was no doubt that the Thursday quote would be about Christmas. I started listening to Xmas Carols and specially the ones sang by Frank Sinatra.

Here are two of them ("Jingle Bells" and "White Christmas") from the great movie "Happy Holidays" (1957), starring Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra. 

I particularly like the "Jingle Bells" scene.

The comment on Youtube linked to the video of "White Christmas" is really interesting and is worth being read if you like cinematographic history (I hope that this expression is correct in English...). 

Anyway...

Enjoy !

"Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight


Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh


A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot"

(c) "Jingle Bells" performed by Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby

"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow


I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white


I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white"

(c) "White Christmas" performed by Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby
