i love this song so much, it is january 29th and i am still listening to it. he sings so wonderfully and the music is amazing. al jarreau is wondeful. love the end when the music plays.
A great song...but...I agree with cellmate: photos of others other than the singer spoil this. It would have been far better to have put up christmas scenes (christmas tree, snow, etc). There are enough available on the internet to use that don't have watermarks plastered through them and are free-use copyright. The original 12" vinyl release of this was on the B-side of Al Jarreau's 'Love is Waiting' song, and contained a voiced christmas greeting from Al Jarreau before the song.

I LOVE this version...I have looked for it without any luck until now...I wonder why. Thank you thomashuggins for uploading it! I saw Al in concert...he has a wonderful, funny personality....What a range this man has!
If you like this song, check out Donny Hathaway's This Christmas...it's a GREAT song. Also, check out the new (I think) youtube holiday song: The Spirit of Christmas by John Starley Allen. If you're like me, this song will get you misty eyed!
OMG!!!!!..Thannnnx ! I heard this version for the first time last year or the year before and Ive been on here lookin for it forever.. the beggining and how it ends with the music is awesome !! I love this song!!!!..Im still playing it even though Christmas is over!!!!! Thannnx Again!
