for someone who is going to turn 18 in a couple of days, this is a perfect christmas song for this year.
to be honest, i wasnt looking for anything like this, i was looking for one of those happy classic christmas songs (think winter wonderland) that i completely adore and that we can all sing and be merry to. but i stumbled across this song on youtube and watching it made me tear a little.
with all the crisis, financial, environmental, terrorism etc. that have cropped up (im not sure if my memories of a more peaceful time were simply due to my ignorance of the world around me, or that all these accumulated issues did only start to become unbearably pressing after we turned 10) perhaps its important for us to rmb, even as we celebrate and laugh and bake and give presents, that the ultimate christmas wish is peace.
hopefully, the succesful end of the copenhagen talks today will be the first of many things to rejoice about this holiday season.
(sadly, despite my mightiest attempts, i am unable to make snow fall on this blog. perhaps this is a sign that i need to go somewhere colder.)
