All I Want for Christmas Is You :)

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true oh
All I want for Christmas is you

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need, and I
Don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow, and I
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake
To hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Oh, Baby all I want for Christmas is you

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of childrens'
Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me
The one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me quickly

I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is you

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

Sony made no mistake in pulling The Interview, the company’s chairman insists, despite President Obama’s assertion that they did just that.

Michael Lynton told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria that Sony “experienced the worst cyberattack in American history and persevered under enormous stress for months.”

Lynton tries to shift blame onto the theaters at “the crucial moment that the threat came out, from what was called the GOP at the time”.

“The movie theaters came to us one by one over the course of a very short period of time, and announced that the would not carry the film. At that point we had no [choice] but to not proceed. And that’s all.”

The CEO even argued “we have not backed down” and said that Sony still has “every desire to have the American public see this movie.”

He said the company is considering “a number of options”, but that it requires an intermediary such as Netflix or a video-on-demand distributor. None, he said, have “stepped forward and said they are willing.”

“We don’t have that direct interface with the American public.”

Asked by Zakaria whether he’d still make the film, Lynton tried to put on a brave face: “I would make the movie again, for the same reasons we made it in the first place. It was a funny comedy, it served as political satire. Knowing what I know now we might’ve done some things slightly differently, but I think a lot of events have overtaken us in a way we have no control of.”
