Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song (By The Fireside)

[Exfrogie]

My daddy used to leave a glass of whiskey for "Santa" hahaha ... Good old times

[DartsRme312]

CHRISTMAS IS JUST NOT FROM THANKSGIVING TIL JAN 2....BUT ALL YEAR IN OUR HEARTS AND M,INDS...I DON'T CARE WHAT TIME OF YEAR IT IS...BUT IF SOMEBODY PUTS ON A CHRISTMAS SONG...OUR HEARTS AND MINDS...GO RIGHT TO CHRISTMAS DAY....AND IS THE BEST DAY OF THE YEAR AND TIME FOR THAT MATTER..:)

[chingchongmilk]

I can listen to this song any day of the year, it's more than just a christmas song

[gagaza66]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[crosboid]

Any idea which version is this? Nat recorded about 4 or 5 versions through the years, and from the descriptions i've read I think this is the last (and most popular) one.

[sonicvail]

I was upset that my local station didn't choose this as the last Christmas song to be played this year. Time to end Christmas properly.

[xheartsliesfriendsx]

Nat King Cole's version trumps every other that's ever been made, even Frank Sinatra's.

[det35]

Best Christmas song!! No one will ever top this one.

[EbezGopaelz]

Merry Christmas everybody.

From Indonesia.

[dardevil097]

Boldog karácsonyt!

[Hellhound30x]

I miss Christmas... its not the same anymore... this song is the only thing that reminds me of what Christmas used to be like.

[NYMPETIC]

I had to find the whole song and listen to it after hearing the end of it in the car ride home. Merry Christmas everybody from Philadelphia.

[StoneShorts]

BEST CHRISTMAS SONG! PERIOD.

[renyun]

Fav xmas song :)

[lilbloomquist0]

[Alex60090]

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays

[xximoonxx]

calming...:D



[annie07t]

This song always puts me in the christmas spirit<3

[mottaman4]

This is my favorite version of this song. :)



[DontMeanWell]

I like how this song starts.

[dvlaries]

At one and the same time, the song is engaging and calming. It envelopes the spirit such, that while it plays, no one can think a harsh word of this holiday. You forget your stress and any sense of obligation and enjoy a little rejuvenation and renewed appreciation of how the season is supposed to make you feel. That's rather a miracle. The record is a bedrock masterpiece and Cole's now-65 year old version shall never never be surpassed.

[357milk357]

Nice song

[ShyGirl654321]

this song brings back many memories from when i was little

[TheQuantum09]

MAN, those strings are on point! Sets up the entire mood of the song. It sounds like a modern-day notcture piece.

[SACCopE7]

It's not Christmas without Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby & Burl Ives, sadly all gone but their Christmas magic lives on... Nice job with the song and the fire "TheChristmasCard", Perfect!

[SweetCaroline130711]

Such a beautiful song could NOT have been sung any more beautifully than by Nat King Cole! Perfection. Thank you for this post.

[tringuyen552911]

[CeruleanTwist]

That part in Catch Me if you Can, when Frank discovers he has a little sister in law on christmas, it always gets me..

[drayy8]

Best version of this song ever. is this the original?

[happygolucky849]

@bambishoota not to sure if it is the original he did but he originally did the song in 1946 and yes totally agreed he sings this song the very best...reminds me of when i was young sitting on my couch with my parents on a sunday night watching the cbc christmas special that was on that night and this song being on so quiet in the back round because are house was always full of christmas music and this song sticks out the most for me :) 31 days! and VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM CANADA TO ALL

[alensky711]

@UnitelIreland07 sorry about your stepdad being a jerk. Have a merry christmas to you too :)

[alensky711]

Christmas songs makes me sad. I feel like thime flies so fast. I miss my childhood so much

[UniteIreland07]

@alensky711 I know the feeling soooo well! For me, it has a lot to do with the fact that my stepfather (at the time) was such a miserly jerk during the Christmas season. He really made Christmas Day totally suck for me some years with his bad attitude, and then, like you say, there's the fact that it seems to come and go so fast. Anyway, here's hoping you have as merry a Christmas as possible this year. :-)

[msliberiangirl1]

@alensky711 couldn't have said it better myself.

[brandonman24]

It's crazy how when I hear a Christmas song, how amazing I feel inside. I can't wait for Christmas. What gives you such a feeling? Not any other holiday can give you the feeling that Christmas does.

[TeamCompleteHD]

This and the Jackson 5 version are my favorite ones

[TheSmalltowngirl91]

54 days till Christmas! :)

[mamamony22]

my favorite christmas song

[PSALMSOFSONGS]

I can listen to this all day all year round

[ranvideogamer]

I remember one of the best Christmas' I had was years ago with my family over,my aunt always ate half a cookie and everyone loved the turkey on Christmas day. I remember the holiday CD's I used to pop in, the lights put up outside and the music we used to play . Cuddling up on the couch under the crisp weather and watching ABC family's Christmas movies.My mom telling me to go to sleep or Santa wouldn't bring me a present.I dont have Christmas' like those anymore, but I have my memories =)

[anda1234re]

If you're listening to this song this early before Christmas, you all have the passion for music, which more teenagers need now a day...rather than rap...soo garbage
