  • Just wanna tell my parents I don't want Christmas gift and instead invite all my family members from Arizona Florida Washington and Texas

  • THAT WAS THE MOST I EVER CRIED IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!

  • This makes me think of Christmas in a whole new way. I don't even care about gifts that much anymore after hearing this. I think about my life and my family and the little time I have left with them on earth and that, to me, is what Christmas is all about.

  • @CultClassicMashtah24 It is very natural for a human being to try and do something for a dying one. the man was touched by this little boy's value for family + love and not gifts. That's why he left the dept. store without buying the gifts for his wife and daughter and went to find them instead. Just as man is destined to die once, and after taht to face judgment. (Hebrews9:24) Don't have such negative view on things. God bless.

  • THIS REMINDS ME OF MY MOM MAY SHE REST IN PEACE

  • So . . . let me get this straight. Everyone is deeply touched by a song about a man who thinks that God killed some poor little boy's mom because he didn't "get" Christmas, and said boy is under the delusion that giving in to consumerism will help his dying mom? I find that surprisingly disturbing, gross, and nihilistic for a Christmas song.

  • @CultClassicMashtah24 this song is not about that at all. the boy wants to get his mom something to make her happy. not "giving in to consumerism". also the mom was already sick and dying. what he meant by God sending that little boy was that God had set the timing up so the man would understand and remember about Christmas.

  • @abokieyes My point was (and you sort of agreed with me unintentionally at the end of your post) that the way the lyrics make it out to be, God gave the boy's mom cancer so that he'd be in line at the exact same time as the man . . . just because he didn't understand Christmas. Quote: "I knew that God had sent that little boy". The reason the boy is in the line is his mom. Isn't God supposed to be a loving entity? Why would he give a boy's mom cancer just to teach some random Joe Schmo a lesson?

  • @abokieyes Also, it seems strange that the boy "wants [his mom] to look beautiful if [she] meets Jesus tonight". That sounds an awful lot like saying "ugly people can't get into heaven". It also perpetuates the idea that rather than staying with a loved one in their last moments, you should ditch her and go buy shoes (whether your intentions are good or not). So when the narrator says the boy showed him "what Christmas was all about", it comes off like he was talking about the boy's purchase.

  • I disagree. 1.This song says nothing about pretty people going to heaven and not ugly. You're reading too much into it. Anyways, whether you are pretty or ugly you aren't going to heaven unless you acknowledge that Jesus Christ died for deprived man. We aren't going anywhere but hell unless you accept Christ into your heart.............2.I think what he did was sweet. His mom loved to dance and used to have a pair of

  • @rebekahwing2009 dancing shoes, he wanted to give her a special last Christmas present. It meant alot to her. Christmas isn't about presents, we know that. but please just enjoy the song(or watch the movie). You might feel differently if you watch it. I love this movie. It made me cry. :'(

  • I miss my mom so much. It will be 1 year next month since she passed away peacefully In her home from cancer. Be good to your moms and please show her how much you appreciate her.

  • ummmmm....wasn't sure if you knew, but this particular version is by newsong and not bob carlisle. i personally like this version much much better than the one by bob carlisle, but i think you did a good job with video =)

  • those are some ugly shoes lol

  • Hey its soda pop (rob lowe)

  • "Oh thanks a lot bobby, I can't wait to walk around in the fUcKinG HOSPITAL with these stupid shoes. Wow my son is retarded." ~ Mom

  • @jrgjrg83 Wow a little bit harsh?

  • Every time I here this song it puts a tear in my eye:')

  • hey what the moive name i want to watch it today ?

  • Omgg this video is soo sad :'( everytime i watch it, i cry :( -3 love the video tho

  • To those 33 dislikers... you are just sick people!

  • @3supergoku the next time you try to defend a song about a lady meeting Jesus Christ, you should probably not tell someone to F*ck themselves. You sound like a complete moron and you're not defending this songs "message" at all. I'm sorry that you can't handle someone not agreeing with you. I hope you enjoy YouTube while you can.

  • Sappiest Christmas song ever...the lyrics almost sound like a parody on madTV

  • I am such a baby ; Like if you cried at the end when his mom put her hand on her heart <3

  • Hi

  • Everytime I watch this video it makes me cry. We take our loved ones for granted sometimes, this should be a reminder to love them and be thankful for them. I'm heading to take my sister to the Emergency Room again, please pray for her. She has been ill for almost 7 years, she has suffered so much and never complains. All I want for Christmas it for her to be home with us, we didn't get to have Thanksgiving because she was in Bay Medical in Panama City, Florida on life support. :(

  • This song is so beautiful! It made me cry the first time I heard it!

  • This song has always moved me to tears. This year it means so much more as my own Mother is battling cancer and may not be home from the hospital for Christmas Day. My Mom is a very special woman and I love her very much. She has had a very rough life and never complained. Even through all the pain & discomfort of the last 4 months she has always worried about others before herself. I love you Mom, Merry Christmas!!

  • I HAVE EVER CRYED S MUCH BEFORE

  • Is was good but the man at the store looks gay and does he have on a Boston red socks hat :(

  • I've always loved this song, and today, just a couple of hours ago I watched a follow up to it called the Christmas Blessing. It was as touching as the Christmas Shoes.

  • This song touches my heart!

  • The movie is called Christmas Shoes and there is a book to

  • sad song

  • Comment removed

  • This video just made this song a hundred times more beautifull

  • It's just these comments here that make me cry when I listen to a song like this people are commenting on.

  • This is one of the songs that brings me to tears every time. I may not be able to help a child like in this song. But every Christmas I make sure to get a name or two off the Salvation Army's giving tree so a child's Christmas will be a little brighter. This year I had my 3 yr old pick the name and then go shopping for the child. I'm hoping it will help teach her to be kind and help others when they are in need.

  • i cryed so much. its so touching ;-(

  • people are fucked, and we're doomed.

  • I have always loved this song, and we got to see the movie today! DEF a Christmas classic!!

  • best song ever! hands down.

  • Its so sad!! :(

  • You can never replace the love of a mother. I still miss my mom 11 years later. Thank you so much for this video. I have a young friend who just lost his mother and he feels like he is all alone. God is the only one who can help us get through it.

  • This is my fav Christmas sing :) makes me cry everytime

  • this songs fucking stupid, who would buy their dying mom a pair of shoes, what a waste...

    jk, but seriously, if my mom was dying i wouldnt buy her shoes, i'd go home asap and stay by her side.

  • @gasjocker19 You just don't get it. His mother always did selfless things for him. He wanted his mother to have something. He gave everything he had. And the guy who bought the shoes learned something about the giving spirit of Christmas. It's not the gifts---it's being there for others.

  • @gasjocker19 I have to kind of agree with you there. I wouldn't leave her side for a second and she wouldn't want me to. I guess I'm the weird one. :L

  • and to the ppl who are abt to blow me up, maybe im out of touch or jaded but this story didnt really pull me in. just like you have a right to be touched, i have a right to think this song is ridiculously awful

  • go fuck urself jmw814

  • i am going to cry!

  • I love this song and the movie. Me and my family always watch it around Christmas time.

  • 28 people don't have hearts... </3 <--- :(

  • This makes me cry every time i watch it i lost my mom so i know how it feels :(

  • lovley song i remeber when pass the time with my mom and father thank for upload

  • this is the gayest song i have ever heard

  • @Drew927 If you don't like it, don't watch it.

  • @Cowboy144 It seems like it should be that simple . . . but some people are even simpler . . .

  • @Drew927 and you are the gayest idiot around the world! Merry Christmas!!!

  • Comment removed

  • have drew u dont have to be a dick to everyone. maybe this happened to u and u dont feel saying anything nice about it. IF IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO THEN IF U DONT HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY DON'T SAY IT ALL. U FUCKING ASSHOLE

  • @texendog im stupid!!!!! go f urself

  • Crap, I have to perform this song in ASL for a room full of interpreters at our staff meeting. I don't think I can do it without crying.

  • this song always makes me cry... it's so beautiful and sad.. And I didn't know there was a movie on it!

  • This is such a beautiful song and video, It touches the the heart, Was a beautiful movie,,

  • Whoever disliked this song is wrong! How would you like it if UR mom was in this stage!!! <3

  • somehow it doesn't feel like christmas, without listening and tearing up to this song at least once.<3 it really shows you what christmas is all about!

    love you mommy & daddy!

  • My mom is alive , thanks be to God , but every time I hear this song I always cry hysterically &i end up running to my mom &i thank her for everything she's ever done for me-3 I love you mommy :')

  • I haven't seen my mom for 6 years straight, so everytime I hear this song, it makes me tear. Miss you mommy. <3

  • So u like this Rhena girl,huh?

  • I never used to pay much attention to this song. But, since my mother died 4 years ago, it moves me to tears every time. It played on the radio as I drove into the cemetery last Christmas Eve and I had a complete meltdown.

  • thank you very much for the wonderful video!

  • no matter how many times i listen to this song it makes me cry :'D

  • This song now has a new meaning to me now because in a few hours today will be one month to the day that i lost my mom now my dad and i are helping to raise my 5 yr old nephew and my my 3 yr old niece and looking back i now know how easy she always made things for me and my brother she always said that one day i would understand how much she did for us she gave us so much so that we could have a good life.she was a good mom and i miss love and miss her so much.

  • @COWGIRLBABY19841 : I want you to know thaat you are not alone when i was 8 years old my dad died and it is the exact same situation you took the words right out of my mouth. Marry Christmas :) <3

  • @Meeky106 Thank you

  • @COWGIRLBABY19841 yup thats the meaning of this song i love it so much and what you said made me cry....

  • @CuteCupcakeMia Me too i love it too

  • Lovelovelove this song!!!

  • What?! *sniff* I just have something in my eye!

  • If she's on her dying bed I'm quiet sure she'll have no use for shoes, why didn't he buy her a nice dressing gown? It was clearly a very badly thought out decision.......

  • @LydsLuvs Have a heart...it's a little boy who is gonna lose his mom and he wanted to do something special for her...some people !!!!

  • @LydsLuvs The kids such an idiot

  • @LydsLuvs Because he overheard her talking to a friend of hers about a pair of red dancing shoes that she once had but she lost them somehow and he heard her describe them so thats why he bought her the shoes because they resembled the ones she once had and she loved dancing and music so he knew she would love those shoes.

  • Everytime I hear this song i always seem to cry.

  • For all those who disliked this song, fine. The thing is to many others this song means a lot to them, so before going and saying something hurtful and insulting, why don't you think first

  • I have a bad relationship with my mom. This makes me realize that a mom is a mom. Not everyone has one and I need to love her and I never want to lose her.

  • when the video said i hope you didn't cry too much.. it was too late..

  • My mom taught me everything in life to help me where i'm at now, im so thankful to have someone like her, for all you who have your mothers gone, it must be hard, but stay strong forever and never forget the day how proud she must of been when you were born.

  • you have to be a dick to give this song a thumbs down

  • @EpicGammer1 how could you say that!?!?

  • "Christmas is most truly Christmas when we celebrate it by giving the light of love to those who need it most"

  • My mom in law is sick with cancer, and this could be her last christmas... this song reminds me of her, and of my own mother. I think all of us, can relate to this song one way or another. God bless.

  • I always cry when i hear this song. my mom died when i was 11 and it always reminds me of her.

  • @TheAnetaja  Terminator IIII....... The Ass Whooping

  • I don't care what you believe, whether you have faith or not, this song exemplifies the good in people. I will admit, I cry every time I hear this song because it reminds me of how precious the relationship we have with our parents is. Cherish every moment.

  • i cried. a small boy last year was buying something for his sick mom on christmas eve 2010. he was buying her a necklace, but he didn't have the money, i remember, i could never forget, he was $12.49 short. i was so touched when he said, "please mister, my mommy is very sick and this necklace will make her so happy before she god takes her to heaven." the little boy could have only been 6 or 7, and my mom was in the next store. i was so touched when i heard that, i gave him the money he needed.

    Amazing comment on this video.

    Yet, Not many humans disliked this song, and will never read that, you think it will help?

    Please think before you post, human.

    From: Dragon.

  • Exquisite...truly a lovely song and video! The real meaning of Christmas...helping others. You can find nothing more true and selfless than the love of a child ~ the most wonderful thing a person could ever have, at Christmas and always.

  • to the 21 haters you must not be in the christmas spirit this is a beautiful song and helps us to remember what Christmas is all about

  • I forgot how much this song touched my heart, this year will be my first chrismas with out my mom in my life, losing a loved one is tough no matter what, this song shows, that love and helping those who hurt are what this time of year is about. I miss my mom she lost her battle to cancer on sept 1 and for those of you who say the song is sappy or stupid think of those who actually wont get to see loved ones anymore due to tragedy

  • Wow, just when I thought Christmas music couldn't get sappier.

  • i work at kmart and if i had a child like that come through my line i would help him out and put the money in later even if i lost my job it would be worth it

  • thiss song always make me tear up bt yet i listen to it every yr.

  • This is my first Christmas without my mom. I had bought my mom a pair of slipper shoes in February right before she died and while doing so I thought about this song. Every time I heard this song I cry thinking about how much I miss her.

  • it make me cry. I tried to stop crying but daddy came say why ur crying and i say it touching song

  • @wphoosier Haha

  • ohhh i am crying again even though i have seen it so many times one of the best movies for christmas so sad

  • The past year, this song always made me cry. My Dad was sick for a few years, and that's pretty much him in a nutshell. He always made sure Christmas was great for me when I was little, and never expected much for himself. Even when I got older, he still spoiled me at Christmas, I never really got to a point where I could spoil him back. So when it comes to this song, it's always a question in my mind: How could anyone be so heartless as to not help him out?

  • i cried

  • Youtube, if you ban this video for whatever reason, I will never forgive you...

  • God is good!

  • @karinah81410 yes he is hes a good guy he sent his son to dye for us !

  • I gave him all the money in my wallet.
