[hondacivic38]

Most beautiful

[lfclegends1]

every race is equal man or woman.

[lfclegends1]

he's smoked a few going by thoughs plants behind him.

[thegeezerdan]

Out of all the versions of this song I think this is the one that is most well known and probably the version what most people like the most.

[HitOrStandUK]

WTF? Who the hell are the "YELLOW" people he mentions in the lyrics?

[broojenstein]

@HitOrStandUK People afflicted with jaundice of course. They're people too you know!

[limpmatrix]

japenese are called yellow

[marysue52uk]

Loved this version and played it every Xmas

[benthejrporter]

My favourite Christmas song. Makes me cry.

[euronick61]

What a lovely song...if only the songs wish would come true with all the wrong doers wether they are terrorists or people who cause trouble realizing that life is too short to cause misery and suffering

[orange5ism]

classic bullshitter - don't you know the difference between that and ferns??

This song is amazing, I love it

[francesmycroft]

Beautiful song. Whenever I hear this it brings back memories of my favorite Uncle. Peace and sweet memories to everyone.

[yorkiebages]

This is a fabulous song - I'm Jewish and it makes me goosepimply .......... ignore any idiots with idiotic comments - not worth a response .... classic song!

[lionessgirl123]

my great nana and great granda loves this song.my auntie was born when this was out so it was an appropriet song.i like this song to

[mssummerrose1]

ppl overlook, that EVERY child is THAT child - in his/her own way

[classic1984]

Those are definitely marijuana plants, and for the first 40 seconds he is definitely high.

[PlaydohMonkey123]

@classic1984 lol

[lfclegends1]

@classic1984 i agree classic.

[ANTCON1987]

yeah dis the shit

[bladesmark1]

@ANTCON1987 This coming from somebody who hasn't got a clue what Christmas is all about.I think the laughs are on you.

[ANTCON1987]

@bladesmark1 you are very ignorant in your assumption of what I have said, google "the shit" and u will understand that I am in no way criticizing this song.

[bladesmark1]

@ANTCON1987 It doesn't make me ignorant because of my assumption of what you said!!! If you used the correct words instead of street cred words then there wouldn't have been any misunderstanding would there? If you're going to post then use the proper English language.

[ANTCON1987]

@bladesmark1 Ok would you also like me to use black ink and write in block capitals as well

[bladesmark1]

@ANTCON1987 What on a computer?or are you thick altogether?

[mssummerrose1]

@bladesmark1 but there's really no way to say "this is THE SHIT" in "proper English language"... srry

[bladesmark1]

@mssummerrose1 Then don't say it!!! Simple

[ANTCON1987]

@bladesmark1 I was being sarcastic you small minded, ignorant, buffoon, get with the times my generation speaks a different form of english to yours, stop thinking you are so right and I am so wrong.I simply made a comment on how I llke this song and you in your blissful ignorance thought I was hating on it.

But its cool though, im not mad at you, you are a human being after all, no one is perfect, Jesus forgives u, ANTCON1987 forgives u, and so does Johnny Mathis.

[mssummerrose1]

@bladesmark1 so you're telling ppl they can't express themselves? life and language are not ready made, sorry. they change. if sby made you believe in everlasting rules, then let me tell you, rules can be helpful, but they're manmade. besides, i graduated in language/translation. it's a very interesting and philosophical subject.

[TheICEMAIDEN1973]

especially for my son joseph you are my world and i love you xx

[MsFanmail]

this makes me cry !

[hellyeah2ful]

Brilliant Song. This is a good song. not like all the shit thats out there nowadays

[weeniewoop]

Reminds me of my child hood, listening to proper christmas songs whilst opening presents ,

[sexy247ish]

this hits my heart

[beatlefanist]

Beautiful song, I always remember hearing this song on Christmas morning 1990 two weeks after I had my youngest child, so profound...especially since I had lost my Dad a few months before.

[MrZedonius]

Lovely miming there by Johnny Mathis :p great song though one of my Christmas favorites

[ryan67742]

[vertygoo]

Best for all

[Colonel30]

I could have this on replay for hours and hours...... and hours - I Love it!!! My favourite festive tune of all time

[1066muffinman]

This song reminds me of Christmas day 1976 at about 04.00 in the morning opening presents with my mom and dad and taping this song off the radio on my new radio cassette recorder. Its one of my most treasured memories along side the new memories my children are giving me now.After all these years I still miss you Dad. x

[Ianandsyd]

@1066muffinman What a lovely memory !!! A bit like my own childhood !!!

[heehawluck1]

@1066muffinman God bless you. I know the feeling.

[frazzleboy]

[yastunt]

Classic

[ffkila]

Merry Christmas from Austria

[ouzzapyre]

this is my favorite Christmas song <3

[1MrIceman]

these type of songs always move me to tears at this time of year. I use to sing them with my girlfriend at karaoke but sadly she passed from this life 13 years ago.the pain eases but never leaves...... I hope you all enjoy the festive season (no matter where people are from,no matter what their belliefs, no matter what colour their skin, LETS SHARE THE LOVE FROM WITHIN...... )

[4511jen]

Beutiful song, fond memories of growing up in the 70s / 80s too :) True meaning of

Christmas... message of peace, joy, hope ;)

[Bob4JAne1]

One of the best talking bits in a song.

Nowadays, talking bits in songs are limited to saying one's own name, or verifying the existence of the audience - more specifically that their auditory sense is in working order.

[TheMel0002]

THIS SONG SENDS A SHIVER DOWN MY SPINE...... SO MANY MEMORIES ...

[yeo15]

I was crying in my dream listening to this song... coz it's really playing in the background. 

[jeromenv]

Johnny Mathis was born to sing this song. I have never heard a better version of it

[jparke1977]

god bless all this christmas

[aprilsdebs]

love my dad and miss him he was the best love you dad

[Johnmullanefan11]

HOLY MOTHER SHOW THY POWER,WE NEED SOME PEACE IN THIS GREEDY WORLD

[theuglyhairmonster2]

@Johnmullanefan11 shame religion won't ever bring peace

[Kaynas1988]

This was my fav song to sing when I was at Primary School, even if I did get the words wrong

[1iankoz]

johnny mathis rappin

[kotiakounsel]

I have memories of this song being on tv when I was a child...Christmas was indeed magical. I'm hoping we aren't too far gone from recapturing that peace.

Peace to my Christian friends here, you deserve more respect from my community, the Muslim community '...and We will make him (Jesus) a sign for mankind and a mercy from Us...' (Quran 19:21)

Peace to all who love Jesus the Messiah and his blessed mother Mary.

[TheComicBookRocker]

Lolz he's surrounded by weed!

[720janice]

to SuperYutoober: u said a mouth full, amen.

[Soloraj1]

Even today this song heralds the good tidings and that Christmas time has come...

[liam9whelan]

like if rob brydan brought you here



[TheNizzleShizzle]

anybody who dislikes christmas has NO soul!

[SuperYutoober]

I thank GOD i was a 70's / 80's child,when Christmas meant something,i wish i could turn the clocks back to the good old days.

[dazza1336]

@SuperYutoober

Me too i totally agree i often think about those times on present Christmas Days

Family and nans drinking snowballs !!!!!! 

[marvelousmarvin71]

@SuperYutoober I know what your sayin, but i remember my grandparents thought it was too commercalised back then!

[DaigaDaigucis]

@SuperYutoober

I love this song too :) It reminds me my childhood too :)

But Christmas still is something for me and my family :) Like - the home is where our heart is. The same about Christmas- it can be special time if we feel it in our hearts :)

[Scouseblue76]

@SuperYutoober Reminds me of Christmastimes from the past. Echo your comments

[kitthevideoman]

@SuperYutoober I was born in the early 1950's. The spirit-spirituality of Christmas gets more watered down and tackily commercialized with each passing year. It is up to the folks who care to resist compulsive spendthrift shopping and remember the spiritual meaning of this time. The Christian aesthetics are wonderful. Even before Christianity came to Europe, the Yuletide-Winter Solstice was also a sacred time. They all fit nicely together. Boo to Big Box Grinches! Christmas = love.

[bobbydylanio]

@SuperYutoober "When Christmas meant something"? Get a grip.

[cockshield]

@SuperYutoober Yeah, better Christmas lights back then too. Just snagged some from ebay.

[KennnnnnyTucky]

Classic song bringing back memories of childhood in the 70's and early 80's, when Christmas was a magical time not the hideous commercial rip-off it is now.

[BonzMorg62]

I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE HEARD A VOICE LIKE THIS.. AMAZING GRACE

[thunderstrook1]

religion seperates man,that is the fundimental problem, on the other hand belief brings man together,that is where it can make a difference.

[lizichell2]

Christmas sucks and Jesus isn't real but this is divine and can be listened to any time of year

[williej777]

@lizichell2 Sometimes Christmas Sucks. But You Dearheart, know that Jesus Is Real. That's Why You Spelled HIS Name like You Did. Even with Your Heart Hurting, You gave HIM Respect. I Pray your life has gotten better.

[SuperDicky71]

The best christmas song ever.

[kelv52]

i listen to this lovely song and think of my 8 week old daughter who died in my arms so much hope so much sadness

[daviam33]

@kelv52 God bless.

[djTiPS08]

same here ima muslim, i just love this song....peace to humanity

[kotiakounsel]

I'm Muslim and I am touched every time I listen to this and read people's comments about it. I think it captures the feeling of hope and the desire for goodness that we as human beings look for from God and delivered through his prophets.

Peace to all Christians.

[lizichell2]

@kotiakounsel This song is wonderful and it brings peace to the world. Religion brings war, ignorance and death and rapine to the world.

[stu82pid]

@kotiakounsel It is people like you that will bring piece, when there is war and hatred.... God bless you

[caclewes]

@kotiakounsel - It is nice to see this :) I am not christian specifically, but I have many friends who are; I also have muslim friends, and you are right, it does inspire hope and goodness, even to those without specific religion. Peace to all muslims too, and I have to say, there should be more people like you in the world - if there were we would all be a lot better off :)

[1worley1]

@kotiakounsel peace on earth and goodwill to all men...

[fleadle34]

@kotiakounsel Peace, love and happiness to you my friend !

[SheLovesSmoothJazz]

@kotiakounsel Thank you Bro/Sis!

[champagne5high]

May peace be the light that shines brightest in your life. :-}

[007conundrum]

@kotiakounsel As-Salamu Alaykum

[kotiakounsel]

@007conundrum Alaikum salaam...I'm organising a 'Walk for Unity' event with a Church in Leeds for Summer 2012. If anyone is interested in finding out more just send me a quick message and I'll provide you with details nearer the time.

[eoinue]

@kotiakounsel well said for to long countries use religon as an excuse to cause conflict in God name...does it real mattr if your a Muslim or im Catholic in the end it's about our faith..i whole heartly agree with ever word you have wrote.

[marvelousmarvin71]

@kotiakounsel and peace to all muslims like you

[wessel5576]

@kotiakounsel peace to you my friend

[MultiMegadriver]

@kotiakounsel if only every human could see that, (Muslim or Christian,I am a Christian just not a good one) but I still think we should listern to the word's. I love Xmas although I am i my 40's but love the time of year. This song and this version is the best.

[queenie1972]

@kotiakounsel what a wonderful comment to make :)

[jackbailey94]

[stripemister]

2010 years ago the spirit of Johnny Mathis was heard singing "When A Child Is Born" over the manger of the Christ Child, thus the beginning of Christmas.

[magcarril]

@stripemister AMEN!!

[HorsemadxEmma]

I always cry when I hear this song.

[benthejrporter]

@HorsemadxEmma Me too. It's one of the most moving songs I've ever heard. It's far more than just a Christmas song really.

[Logic1914]

Should I ever become a father I will somehow arrange for this song to be playing over the hospital PA [public announcement] system the day my child is born.

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOO SERIOUS!!
