I know how hard this is. My Dad is in the army and my mom used to be but she is not anymore. I know how it is spending night after night wondering I just had my 13th birthday and it was the first that I was able to spend with them. If I may ask, will everybody please pray for the soilders??? My friend/ Ex-Uncle just left for Iraq the day before my birthday. I just want them safe. Please, please, please everybody.

My Dad is in the millitary and my Mom used to be but she is not anymore. I think that if I could show my Mom then she would like this. If I could show it to my Daddy then he qwould like it, too. I just had my 13th birthday and this is the first of my birthdays that I was able to spend with my Daddy. If I may ask, will everybody please pray for the soilders????

[andymac1883]

Is my grown up christmas list version by Michael Buble still available ?????

[destinestar]

Sadly no it is not, due to copyright laws, I guess. However if you want and I suggest doing this cause the video is so much better with the original song, is mute the video and play Michael Buble's version of My Grown Up Christmas List. Sorry the original song couldn't still be available. I will try to fix it some how so I can get that song back on this video.

Thanks for viewing it though.

[Icequeen2009]

This video and song means so much to me. I recently enlisted in the national guard. I thank those who support the troops and encourage to continuing supporting them.

[JRPenarejo]

This video brought tears to my eyes...I came online looking for the video to this song and found this slideshow...the part where the boy was receiving the flag had me sobbing...my husband currently serves and we were lucky he came home from his tour downrange...to all those who serve, thank you for your sacrafice! God Bless You All!

[rohrbach81tina]

This is such a moving video so wonderfully put together to my favorite christmas song. I agree, the little boy recieving the flag also touched my heart and made me cry too. Our family was very lucky, my brother-in-law came home to us from Iraq at the end of September. This will be a very Merry Christmas for our family. Thank you and God bless to the men and women who fight for & protect our country. A thank you & God bless to their families too. You are all in my prayers every day.

[pastpanda]

War is sickening! The fact that we fight and kill each other to keep our countries safe/other countries safe is ridiculous!

Brilliant video :)

[Jukka70]

Words can't express enough how touching and heartfelt this was. And like everyone else the picture of the boy accepting the flag was so powerful. Couldn't help but cry on that picture. Thanks for sharing

[colinsanders1972]

5***** Respect for sharing..

[mamaeve81]

This was beautiful. God bless

[destinestar]

Thank you all for posting comments. It means a lot to me. I have had a lot of comments on the photo of the little boy accepting the flag. So I thought I would find out more about it. The young boy is Christian Golczynski, he is accepting the flag off his father's casket. His father was a Marine and his name is Mark Golczynski, his wife's name is Heather. The photographer's name is Aaron Thompson. I would like to thank the Golczynski family. I would also like to thank Aaron for a beautiful photo

[destinestar]

Fogive me I spelled Marc's name wrong. It is "Marc" not "Mark"

[costarica1111]

Oh my gosh. I couldn't help but cry! Goodness. I don't even know what to say- this is probably the most touching homemade video i have EVER seen. It's trully so beautiful.

[Huizen1971]

To all who serve for peace, merry Christmas!

[missyleemoore]

This one of my favorite christmas songs. Simply a beautiful video that touches the heart! God Bless the men and women that fight for our freedom! God bless thier families! God Bless America! Merry Christmas to All!

[DeepWithin]

:[[[[ Made me cry... But I love this! It's so beautiful. 2:25 made me cry the most...

Thank you so much for this video! My dad isn't serving in Iraq, but he can't live with us right now. He hasn't been able to for five years, and people seem to forget that not just the people fighting are having a hard time and missing their families. So again, I want to thank you so much for making this!

[ecsutnf]

omg me 2!!! at 2:25 that boys face just makes u wanna bawl.

[warriorjames]

Damn....that just pierces your very soul; that song with those images. That christmas list is what many people on earth are asking for today. Let's pay that it will come true someday.

[kontraband7]

DUDE ITS PRAY NOT PAY! IT WONT COME TRUE WITH CASH!LOL

but yeah i agree. I'm not a US citizen, nor do I live in the US, but I think that those who are serving in Iraq are really having a hard time and I hope they can see their families again some day. After all, everyone's just an average joe and only a heartless bitch wouldn't want to see their families. In fact, they(the government) should try and end the war in Iraq ASAP with as little kiling as possible

[Tynerose]

Very nice video...God Bless and protect all those that serve and have served to help protect us. War is hell and someday there will be no need for anyone to fight...Merry Christmas troops!!!

[greatwhitegsx]

Just one more thing.

My grand father went to Japan to Teach English after

the war, he was 38 and served in the battle of the Midway

20 years earlier. There

he feelin love with my grand mother who's brother and

father were killed during the war by Americans. Just

a thought, (I know some of you are saying they started it,

but war is all about the Kings sending their ponds to die

and for what...greed, what ever the form)

[greatwhitegsx]

As a former soldier. I want to say this to

all who are now serving their  country friend or foe...

You will one day look back and ask yourself. Did I

really have to go and live through all of this shit.

My Christmas wish is that you all get back home

safely. War is such a waste. Funny... a just realized that

my computer was made in Japan.

[Hyacin11]

Very nice video. Btw, this was added on my birthday (:

[franclspeaking]

Whoever you are that created this, THANKS!!! This video truly came from your heart.

[sojoyful]

Everyone seems to forget that what a soldier is all about is completing the mission.

To take that from them is the biggest tragedy of all. I hope Obama doesn't do that.

Beautiful video. God Bless.

[esca2358]

Thanks for this great video!

[gouw8pouw]

[madmangc]

Beautiful. Thank you for making this, so touching.

[jlinski]

I pity the boy who was handed out of the flag. It's very touching..Nice video slideshow!

[kipuka06]

very very touching

[SiNgiN4lOvE]

so beautiful this song celebrates one of the very important meanings of believing and christmas

[teddy71894]

The picture of the boy being handed the flag was the picture that had made me the most sad out of all the pictures. *sob* :'[

[Arrenelle]

*sob*this was so sad i cry when i see it it made me think of my uncle in iraq.

[cutiek1992]

beautiful

[jmromeo25]

Touching video, especially the boy accepting the flag.

Thank you to those who have and are serving.

[octsky56]

My heart goes out to all the people who have lost a loved one in the war/wars... my father was in the Air Force and died a few years ago... my grown up list is for PEACE <3

[krollan1]

[sk8ergirl300]

[Demondal]

such a beautiful song.

The picture of the boy taking the folded flag brought the tears out....

[Eggnog329]

I love this song.  My dad's in the Air Force, but he used to be the army. He was actually in Desert Storm when I was born. Great video.

[soldierslittlemummy]

such brilliant pictures done to a fantastic song. God bless our troops.

[mantou192]

cant we just stop the wars in the world... humans have made so many mistakes already in the world...cant we ever learn from them...???

[Luna810]

So sad that so many lives have been lost,and most of them young.This really hits you right in the heart,especially the little boy and the weeping soldier.Great job on this.

[octsky56]

wonderful job... thank you

[Banggit68]

<3. love ittttt.

[moniqeLA]

2.26 the greatest in saddness.UNFORTUNATELY :(

[Mousehunt]

It is a shame that we need to preserve peace by preparing for war.

[azst52]

i was sad when i saw the boy being presented the flag after aloved 1 has died

[soccergrahaml]

i kno, i cried when I saw the little boy too! :( tht was hard to watch but at the same time good, everyone should watch this. it helps you relize what ppl go through. Great video

[jdautograph]

so touching , thank you.

[FalseKreia]

This is so touching, wonderful job.

[iMiNsTuPiDlAnD]

thats very sad i think every single person in the world would like that happiness in their lives.

[brycezapped]

Beautiful. Thank you destinestar. This will always be my favorite Christmas song & Michael Buble's voice is just perfect for it.

[sonixelectronix]

I think the point of this song is that we shouldn't even have soldiers or war, not to celebrate war & soldiers. If no people went to fight, wars wouldn't be possible.

[destinestar]

Thank you for your comment. However life is not perfect and is not what we would all like it to be. So there is war and there are people who sacrifice a lot. And those people should be thanked and celebrated.

[Shadoweyes07]

omg,I have NEVER cried so much in my life than when I watched this

[Meryllau]

Every grown up's christmas list

[Li0nKaida]

I think this is on everybodys list. Kids and Adults alike. Christians,Jews and Muslims alike. Beutiffull song and even more butifful message!!

[Meryllau]

Agreed. I even cried at 2.26 when I saw the pic of the little boy fighting hard to hold back his tears...

"No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

And everyone would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end

Oh, This is my grown up Christmas list"

[unoriginaldork466]

im so glad u did this for all of those who will b spending their christmas away from their family.

[imelle]

tres touche

[v88dx]

2:26 breaks my heart

[Meryllau]

Agreed. My eyes just well up with tears to see the little boy fighting hard to hold back his...

[heppencs]
