As soon as I heard this version from the Glee Cast I just knew I had to do a vid for Christmas Day. I mean – how could I not – perfect words – perfect dream …  I just wanted to wish all our followers a Merry Christmas – hope whatever you are celebrating today you have a wonderful time with your loved ones. Thanks to the wonderful Michelle, Vertigo, Lise-Lou, Suze and honorary RPAUer – Jules for helping to make this year so enjoyable in running this site. Big big thank you to Rob for venturing to my hometown Sydney – and letting me take over the red carpet with James Tobin for 5 or so minutes *giggles* – yep still not going to show you that footage. Not sure if we can top May 2011, but Rob if you have some time next year – we’d like you to try – no pressure. Anyway, I’d like to thank Jules & Martha for providing me with some piccies that I’ve used in the vid. Of course, Setje, Linda and pattinsonlife for the usual HQ goodness. I can’t remember where I found the Jumping Rob Xmas tree pic, but thank you and if it’s you or you know who did it, please let me know so I can credit properly. Thanks to all who interviewed Rob during the BD promo and captured the wonderful facial expressions that is Rob. Anyway – enough chatter … MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone and most importantly – MERRY CHRISTMAS Rob – thanks for all the joy you bring us – even though realistically every day feels like Christmas for us when you are around.
I’ve added Vimeo in case YouTube blocks in some countries

I have tears first because Maria your vid is just amazing and secondly am so proud to be part of the amazing RPAU community. What an amazing place Maria and Michelle have created here so true Vicky it really is the happiest place on earth and we wouldnt want it any other way. Merry Christmas everyone hope you are spending it with someone special. Cheers to you all and of course cheers to Rob as well *raises glass *
LOL @Maria what are the chances I said that?! Once again your vid making is moving and a wonderful recap of Robs year. Can you guys believe we had Rob here in Sydney?!!! Its going to be pretty hard to top that but with Rob, I’m never suprised.
I’m so happy I found you guys however many years ago (3, 4??). You fulfill my addiction and always have funny banter to go along with it. Merry Christmas guys and Merry Christmas to the amazing man that has brought us together.
I haven’t had a chance to watch the vid yet (been a tad busy today with 50 odd people at my place for lunch then staying way past dinner time, then dealing with the fallen plaster from the storm damage), but I’m sure it’s brilliant. As is Rob and as you girls are. I will watch, but I couldn’t let the day pass without a big shout out to everyone at RPAU. This year, you ladies have been part of one of the most exciting experiences of my life and I hope and pray that we get to do something like that again. *crosses fingers for a 2012 promotional visit* Thanks yet again for providing me/us with such a happy place. Merry Christmas to all. Hope your day was filled love and cheer. *MWAH* to everyone here and multiple *MWAHs* to Rob.
@Carolyn – I hope you are all OK and the damage was minimal. May 6th 2011 really was an amazing day made all the more special by meeting all you wonderful ladies, along your partners and children and friends
@Maria: your video is absolutely brilliant! *applause*
@Jules: the banner is breathtaking! I can’t wait for more of your gorgeous RobArt in 2012. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us. It truly is a gift. *hugs*
