We shall be driving home for Christmas from Greece to the UK to see our son and his wife, and our grandaughters. Probably spend a fortune on the girls, but what is money for. Look out Norwich, here we come. Shame the ice rink at the forum has been relegated to the sports village.
@blagger56 Merry christmas to you. Hope the ice rink still "alive" It's a hell of a drive/journey from greece to UK. Carrow Road, here we come, probably :)
I love this song, and the cockrel just adds a personal touch, I bet he'd rather feature in this video than be on the menu. Maybe I'm wrong (I hope I am) but I wonder if this has been posted in memory of the little one that features so much in the video. Sadly, we were not able to be with our son and his family in England this year. God willing, next year. Belated Christmas wishes to everyone that watches this video, and reads the messages.
Well done lad, and savour EVERY minute of it, and think of how you can make it better, not just for yourself, but for others as well. We have just come back from the beach, (wife, grandaughter etc), had a great time swimming, running, munching, snoozing. Life isn't about how much you have, it is about the good memories you create, that you have to look back on.
If you f**ked up your life, it stands to reason that you know when, where and how, and with whom. It is never too late to put things right. Go on, you know you can do it...
what a terrific song: beautiful thoughts, lovely melody, lush orchestration, contrasted by a great barry-white-isaac-hayes voice. the thoughts expressed in this composition transcend the holidays. when you're in love, everyday in christmas.
its funny that because i always end up in tears when i hear this. Its the most warming song made and the ultimate christmas song. It just feels so right I love his voice.
When ever I hear this it brings tears to my eyes, like now. Going back to UK for a couple of weeks, not at Christmas, but near enough to, we will take our grandaughters out for lunch, for shopping, go and have a coffee and watch the skaters on the rink on Millennium Plain, catch up with old friends etc, before we come home to Christmas here. One day, I am gonna do a Wham and take all my family to a place like the one in their video for "Last Christmas"
Yup, been back, had lunch at the Pizza Express, and in a lovely little place in the Royal Arcade, watched the skaters on the rink, done the rounds of the usual shops, and some of the not so usual, and we both realised that we didn't miss any of it. Loved the grandaughters to bits, took them to the park, and out to lunch,also our son and daughter in law, saw our friends, but now glad to be back home in Greece.
Once again, thanks for posting, this is the best version of this song I have seen on YouTube, Thank You Chris Rea, and Thanks to the Internet for introducing this song to millions of your new fans! ron m webmaster rocpicdotcom
Beautiful song, and the BEST video of the half dozen I have watched that uses it. Christmas videos on my account also. Merry Christmas everybody! Ron M. Rochester, NY
Seasons Greetings from Rochester, NY. I have never heard this song in the States, thanks to the Internet for this gift. You will find a half dozen Christmas themed videos in my group. Merry Christmas.
thanks for sharing these family feelings, every year I go by train to my parents for christmas and I share the feeling and every single word in the song represents my feelings in the 4-hour-train-ride with the song on my mp3-player. :D
I Work away, so glad to be home after all the weather, to be with my loveley caring wife ! Merry Xmas to ALL.
