Wow! His eyes never leave her while she is speaking!

And vice-versa.

The conversation flows between them as if its one person talking. Thats harmony and connection.

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

If that's not me in twenty years time, I'm not getting married!

[@jayalexander6798]

I absolutely love how her loves her. If you ever heard Emma speak of how he pulled her out of the deepest pit of despair when she was shell-shocked by Kenneth cheating on her and leaving her, you would love him too :-). He is a great man. The complete opposite of Willoughby :-)

[@susanneosborne7861]

Willoughby! I love that these two wound up coupling. Dynamic hearts and minds. Forgive me, Emma, he's delicious.

[@Faithful10415]

I so agree with Emma's comment about the psychosis of buying. The lovely generous spirit of giving has been hijacked in many cases by obsessive hunting, guilt over not being able to afford the latest thing or going into debt. Being able to sustain the true meaning of the holiday: peace on Earth, Goodwill towards men because the Savior was born-Emmanuel is possible though-even as our materialistic culture plummets down the cliff of overindulging and buy buy buy the latest gadget . I try to be mindful. Don't get me wrong I love to give gifts to friends and coworkers but I want to do it out of a pure motive not because I feel compelled or pushed. I love the spirit they both exhibited here. The Spirit of Christmas is to be sustained not just during this season and this video is a poignant reminder.

"the whole shebang about Christmas, the razzmatazz, the buying, and the whole psychosis of it- I find that very depressing, actually," she said while wearing blinky Christmas lights. Hehehe. I love Emma's work and think she's a great lady, but I couldn't resist.
