[FrankSidebottom]

[jxgis]

[ckwrich1]

My Girl, hands off!!!!

[TimothyVonFink]

She's in a Salvation Army uniform---brilliant!

[Raichu84]

CLASSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY DONT MAKE EM LIKE THIS ANYMORE

[muschkar]

OH MY GOD, SO MUCH MEMORIES I ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE CRYING (of happyness) SERIOUSLY!! brings back times off when i was little, when i use to sit on the couch with my mam on a early dark christmas morning with the christmas tree lights on + the fire on, listening to all the old christmas songs, i actually love christmas so much<3

[MsKoolkel]

i have loved chrissie since 1980.she was my idol,i dressed like her,wore the same hair style,even wore the dark eyeliner on my eyes.all her song's bring's me back to a memory of where i was at then,good memories.i still love her and the band,it's still my favorite group.my 29 year old daughter loves the band too from me playing their albums when she was young.

[MsVOICES1]

This video is Rare~ Love you guys~~ But you already Know this~ ;) ~♥Voices~

[heights2]

Yeah, this might be a silly video..but brings back memories of when Videos were more about the song. And not the crap you see today ( oh thats right where can you see video anymore) I might be showing my age. But at least this is music....

[peet888]

My favourite christmas song ever!!

[Raggle101]

Good song for any time of year

[Sibadibdoo2]

my second favourite christmas song!

[1963cobo]

It is not a Christmas song, Chrissie write it for her guitar player.

[Dav68Chs]

Does anyone have 'Every Day is Like Sunday' by the Pretenders? I cannot find it anywhere.

[020spurs020]

This Is One Of The Best Christmas Songs .. So Sweet .. Love This Song ..

[87SaL87]

always my fave christmas song! it's lovely on the bbc iplayer advert looking back on all the shows...wish it was still christmas lol :(

x x x x

[stenwald]

Where would the Pretenders be without the chorus pedal? Hehe, one of the best Xmas songs...

[bookkeeper57]

Good song: really, really silly video.

[Smudgefizz]

One of the best Xmas tunes ever!! Along with Emerson Lake & Palmer's "I believe in Father Christmas" & Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War is Over)"

[deSansac]

Merry Christmas from Cayman Islands!

[Vatch1966]

A Big Merry Christmas To Everyone!!!!!

[mmeikol]

merry christmas to everyone!

greetings from Dordrecht, The Netherlands

[tintin5467]

Best Christmas song to date. Merry Christmas To All you tube fans, God Bless you all.

[marnixxie123]

Merry Christman everyone! :D

[mapple432]

Chrissie Hynde is hilarious! She has referred to this video as the absolute worst in the Pretenders career. I think she called it Ghastly...and you know what it is!! Great song though.

[dpz46]

Reminds me of my ex she left me at christmas last year this song i played and played i cried my eyes out but im glad to say im over her now and i realise im stronger, its songs like this that get you through the hard times i'll always remember it!

[XR2IFREAK]

she is fit

[shum65]

Christmas classic!

[decdec10]

shum65, couldnt agree more

[shum65]

Cheers mate!!

Merry Christmas to ya!!

[STUARTSt321]

Decent Xmas songs are pretty rare...this has got to be up there with The Pogues/Kirsty Macoll. How amazing does Chrissie look in the video too?

[hicountryho]

i am so sorry, me too, my 17.5 year old tiny cat died on halloween. she loved this one. it's hard to have my first xmas without my baby.

[hicountryho]

pure genius

[1UNCOOLMIKE]

I love Chrissy Hynde, very cool voice!!!!!!!

[ewoldt]

You are correct. However, Rolling Stone Magazine failed to include her in the 100 greatest women in rock. I cancelled my subscription.

[BritishBullFrog88]

best christmas song EVAR

[asepart]

Damn...first time i heard this song like 3 years ago when i was in Utah....i didnt even know the title....it was a beautiful christmas...u know,snow everywhere....i love this song....

[milosbalta]

BEAUTIFULL SONG

[ISBAILEYDEADYET]

This is just FUCKING GREAT!!!

[JHallia]

Luv Chrissie

[dudduk]

I hate xmas...but this song almost mkae me like it....it's that damned good.

[LennonMorrissey]

You're one sad cunt. Everyone loves Christmas!

[youngjr67]

An amazing song that reminds me of my first love, Dawn. I think I fell in love with her the Chritmas this was in the charts. I hope her life is magical now, just like this song.

[stauntoj]

Very Byrds sounding but still cool !!

[LennonMorrissey]

This band, along with ABBA, are one of my mum's favourites. This song means SO much to me right now. Well, folks, I've said something like this before but it's only 9 days to go!!!!

[fagsym]

voice like an angel

[micheldiab1992]

Ik vindt het echt een van de mooiste kersthits allertijden. Bedankt voor het uploaden

Met vriendelijke groet.

Michel

[WalkingSaw]

never saw the video before and i realized many years later that this is a christmas song...

thanks for posting, love it

[Robbeltje]

Such a lovely classic Christmas Love song.

I love this song so much.

Like 3cx71 said: Wouldnt be Christmas without hearing it :D

[olragblues]

great song..love it still after all these years..

[3cx71]

i love this song wouldnt be christmas without hearing it.

[Bobrulesthehouse]

one of my holiday favorites . PEACE!!!

[elembee]

i think she has beautiful eyes, she shouldn't keep them covered like she seems to do these dyas :O)

[Mavarla]

She has a beautiful face, in the classic sense: Eyes, mouth, nose, chin, proportion; very photogenic. This is a great song and video, love how she freezes at the end, like a mannequin; the Artist in her -----{---{-@

[LennonMorrissey]

22 days to go!!!!

[nobiggie90]

I just watched this video for the 1st time ever and I have to say, for 1983, it looks pretty fresh to me. I love winter the most and the holidays and I have loved this song since 1995 I think when Santa brought me this 'Cool Christmas' compilation tape that had this song on it and Tori Amos's Winter and The Pogues and Chris Rea and Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Tom Waits and Eagles and Lou Reed and The Associates and They Might be Giants and Lou Reed and Enya of course. I still have the tape..

[Arkady63]

I remember this song from when it first came out. Sitting in a car in the heart of Boston, waiting for someone who'd just stepped into a shop for a moment...the first crystal snow landing on a city night with no wind.

I love those moments when the music is just picture perfect for the moment you're living. It stuck with me all my life.

It's my 1st time seeing this vid. The sad attempt at tongue-in-cheek humor destroys a Xmas song of our generation.

Thanks for the posting, though.

[Vatch1966]

I don't think I've ever seen this video!!! 25 years later and this song still grabs me..One of Chrissie Hynde's finest moments.

[WitchyWonder]

Absolutely Vatch!!! This and I'll Stand By You are my two favorites from her. Great artist!!

Peace to all :o)

[delvechick]

Im sitting here with tears streaming down my cheeks. Wow I feel like I am sixteen again!! I love this song and this hideous video!!!!

[WitchyWonder]

I love Chrissie and this song - the video is a bit goofy, lol, but she's allowed to do anything she wants as long as she keeps singing for us :o)

[xoffender74]

chrissie hynde absolutely hates this video. to quote her it's 'absolutely hideous'

[goonerfin]

Chrissy makes not a bad sally army officer though, i'd happily put 50p in her collection tin lol

[jethropike1964]

goonerfin wait for me I'll come with you. I might even stretch to a quid but only if she lets me have a go on her tambourine.

[Vatch1966]

The old "WHAT WERE WE THINKING??"  video..lol

[Tanathoos29]

The song is incredible!!.....long life to "Pretenders"!!!

[inkypaws]

Okay, that's got to be the most strange video I have seen in my life. What were they thinking?! Love the song though!

[Sioul69]

Come on it is a Festive Christmas song - missing a loved one, what do u expect - Patti Hyde standing in a Bra in the snow?

[Buff99ca]

Don't you mean "Chrissy Hynde"?

[fuzz461]

great song.. stupid videos.. im sure she could come up with better vids.

[fanClassicRock]

Is this really the clip? wow, i am seeing it for the first time in my life.

[zoelouisereadman]

[LuvSickPuppi]

[TheRetroDude]

[LuvSickPuppi]

[EcstaticMomentz]

I Love this even tho I miss my youngest son on Christmas sooo. It is very heartfelt, funny too and the hat & hoodies darling :) It reminds me of Narnia & the White Witch :D I like the way Chrissie emerges from the snow

[LS1LT1]

I've always liked this song...the Pretenders rock. 8-)

[Ikkeyik]

Heimwee = Home-sick. Each Christmas I must play this song: Just to get my self upset apparently. Christmas has that influence somehow. Thank God it's only spring.

[jagandme]

: ) Seen them twice in Toronto. Iggy Pop opened at Maple Leaf Gardens, (I think i remembered that right), and once at the Kingswood Music Theatre at Canada's Wonderland. Martin Chambers drumming solo was awesome. Thanks for the video.One of their best tunes.

[NHfiddle]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that listens to Christmas tunes all year long. Gotta love this one.

[CaptnBlood]

superb :-))))))))))

[jerseycityjoe]

This song always makes me tear up? Warms the heart and is now seems to be a Christmas Classic to me? I know that when I do finally hear it on the radio I know it's really Christmas time. Then I think about all those who are no longer in my life! Dead or alive! Thanks Christine for you wonderful voice and your talent is remarkable! Many fans still love you!

[DudeAragorn]

Excellent song by an excellent and under-rated band

[thunderbolt468]

Under-rated?

[angelicxpretty]

Such a beautiful song.

[shutterbugger24]

Thanks for the vid...but why on earth would you dissable the embeddding?

[chandler2460]

im a very distant relative of Peter Farndon, he was mi cousins uncle.... Peter is who they wrote this song about when he died

[danilou3]

chandler2460..If you are in fact a distant relative of the Late Pete Farndon....Hello...He was/is the reason I picked up a bass...Back in "the day",circa 80-81..He was awesome..as I got older thru the mid 80s,I actually,so I am told bore a striking resemblance to him..ie the Pomp hair,Triumph jacket...and yes I was a twig...Lol...God bless..Would love to chat sometime...Lou...USA...Ps.."Ro­ad Spiders"

[chandler2460]

sorry for a late reply danilou3,,, i forgot to reply,,, anyway i would love to talk more sometime,,, if you have any questions you want to know about Pete then feel free to ask me!

[piperboy909]

I think it's a shame that Chrissie evidently dislikes or is embarrassed by this promo so much she refuses to allow it to be released (clips and comments have appeared in interviews/documentaries). Every band needs an utterly ridiculous video in its history. They are charming in their goofiness!

[stratele]

I love this tune anytime of the year.

[pwhitchat]

Where can I get acopy of this promo clip?

[TimoStar12]

I work at somerfield, the christmas cd goes round

and round

and round until you want to quit or die, but this is a breath of fresh air when it comes on

[leadminnie]

Better then Last Christmas-Wham and Band Aid-Do they know....

Very, very nice song.. I also like it in summer....

[thedot93]

i agree

[FreePDY]

amazing how this song sticks in your head..i love it

[chand1975]

totally agree!

[thedot93]

merry xmas everbody!!!!

[sisoie]

pretenders mi-a placut din todeauna si de data asta au reusit sa-mi mearga la suflet cu piesa asta. super christmas song. craciun fericit tuturor romanilor!

[mrpenthouse]

I don't like Christmas songs, but love this one :D

[webothlovesoup]

I hated this song when I was a kid but I love it now. A strange video with Chrissie Hynd in a salvation army outfit but still excellent! Thanks for posting.

[sennahj]

Never has someone in a salvation army outfit ever been this sexy :-P

[ckendall67]

Classic:-)

[philgunner]

The best crimbo tune ever

[ellisqpr86]
