WARNING: if you don't like the occasional strong dose of sentimentality and nostalgia, back away from this post and this thread right now. I mean it. Really.
(Please read what follows before playing the video) OK, you were warned, and you're still around. So, I was thinking that anyone so minded could have this thread in which to shrug off for a while the worries of the world, rigorous logical analysis, worthy and serious concerns about all kinds of things that occupy the other 360 or so days in the year, and instead have a frankly self-indulgent wallow in the festive spirit, get a little (or a lot..) nostalgic about Christmases past, just plain happy about this Christmas soon upon us, and hopeful about Christmases yet to come.
So without further preamble...
...as someone who as a kid wanted to grow up looking like Cary Grant and being able to sing like Frank Sinatra - I abjectly failed with both those ambitions, I can sing like Cary Grant, but I suppose half out of two ain't so bad...(

...as someone who is a complete sucker for the warm delicious feeling that comes from watching sentimental old Christmas movies from the 40s and 50s...
...I was delighted to stumble across this I think quite wonderful video on YouTube recently, and sharing it with you now gives me the perfect opportunity I was looking for to echo the song's title, and say to all my really special Kiva Friends from around the world...
