~* Merry Christmas everyone ~* 

[Amber51788]

I woke up this morning with this song in my heart because When i was a child I use to watc this christmas special every year. As I sit and watch and listen to the song it brought tears to my eyes and reminded me of a the time of being a child and the simplicity of christmas.. that is missing today in christmas. Thank Goodness for Sesame Street.. you have raised many many Children.

[Penscreen]

My friend from New York shared this song with me years ago. Sadly she died last year at the tender age of 50. This song reminds me of our friendship very much!

[Penscreen]

Christmas was actually a pagan celebration way before Jesus came along. I'm not against religion if it helps people get through their lives. But the truth is pagan festivals celebrated halloween and easter etc. It was all to do with celebrating the change of seasons.

[Brittanylikes2sing]

i watch this show every Christmas Eve .. gosh I love it

[PetefromSteubenville]

I love this song and I loved the special when I saw it. However, Christmas is essentially about the birth of Jesus. Everything else flows from the religious aspect which is what Christmas is. Still this is a pretty song.

[MelPorter15]

I've been watching this movie almost everyday. By far one of my favorite Christmas movies. I feel so good when I do all the sign language with them :]

[danjigirl88]

This is the version I grew up with. :)

[MCRsKID]

This video was one of my favorites during the Christmas season to watch with my younger siblings and cousins, especially on Christmas Eve. I still remember the signs and do them as the song goes on.

[Skulblaka1987]

heh, im 24, yet i remember watching this special back when i was 10.....how the time goes by.

[Chibiicap]

@Skulblaka1987 I'm almost 24, and I remember watching this was I was 3.

[redmr2na]

The 80s were the golden age of wonderful, entertaining, and most importantly educational childrens shows. Show like Sesame Street, Punky Brewster and others shaped a generation of us into the people we are today. Children need more Sesame Street in their lifes nowadays.

[joeywomer]

There's sheet music for this song?

[escottish140]

Oh, Bob and Linda are my OTP of SESAME STREET. After decades of flirtations and soft passions, I think it's high time you two get together officially, marry, and have kids.

[grimTales1]

I love this song - watching Christmas Eve on Sesame Street brought back great memories for me, and it is important to hold onto the Christmas spirit.

[mikephan121]

OMG.....i just found your video and it brings back soooo many memories. I remember being in grade 3 back in 1987 and watching sesame street and this song has stuck in my head ever since that age. Thx for posting.

[SallyMascotita]

Thank you for sharing with all of us this beautiful song. It is important for the kids to know that we must keep the Christmas spirit in our hearts. If we love each other, this could be a better world.

[Bigben1984]

What I'm saying is the Christmas "Spirit" Folks we all get regardless of our religion I feel like we're almost all Christians around christmas with peace on earth goodwill toward men. Just like we're all Irish on Saint Patrick's day and all we respect all people of color on MLK Day. I Never said that Jesus should be removed from christmas I'm just saying you don't have to be christian to have the Spirit of Christmas or holiday season don;t we all want peace on earth and goodwill toward men?

[tobi5084]

I'm 22 now, and have watched this episode every year since as long as I can remember, it never ever gets old, and I look forward to sharing it with my kids someday :)

[jvfunn3000]

BOB IS AN AWESOME SINGER!

[MuppetOtaku]

This is my favorite Christmas song ever! Bob is the best! :-)

[Shortyluv248]

I found this movie on VHS gonna put it on DVD soon but still watch it. This is the only xmas movie that I will watch. Brings back many memories when xmas was about family not gifts. And we were happy with what we got not what others got and we didnt. Thanks for posting this.

[txag2011]

Watched Christmas Eve on Sesame Street every year until I was about 10. This brings tears to my eyes... :'(

Bob, you are the man.

[pussnboots7705]

OMG I remember this from when I was a kid! I have a home video of my older brother and I opening xmas gifts when I was about 3 or 4 and this song is on in the background. This was my favorite xmas special! I wish they would have this one on TV more often!

[zacandtaylorrule]

The most beautiful and heartwarming moment ever on Sesame Street.

[mylifeshot]

Christmas Eve on Sesame Street on VHS is my favorite Christmas tradition.

[platinumrubies85]

@mylifeshot Christmas Eve on SS is one of my favs too! I was so sad when I lost my vhs tape,but I'm very glad it's on youtube!

[kramer2120]

@platinumrubies85 You can buy this on DVD if you want

[mratfauver]

@kramer2120 I did!

[getdusty1]

Without a doubt, the one Christmas song I like the most that keeps Christmas' fire in me and keeps having me wipe tears from my eyes. It's precious!!

[kakashisam18]

Very heart warming

[jah71185]

I love this song... it reminds me of my good friend Alexa... I don't know why but it just does... I wonder if it is because I was listening to this song when I learned she had passed away... Alexa I miss you and I think of you everyday that passes... I celebrate all the holidays for you!! Love you!!! <3

[billdanbury]

I love how Bob turned around to the piano at the exact moment to take over the closing from the orchestra... Still can't figure out where they fit the orchestra in that upstairs apartment...

[CountryRoadTrip]

Every year for the last 30 years my family; Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Brothers and Sisters have watched "Christmas Eve On Sesame Street" together on Thanksgiving....

[dciguy01]

I haven't heard this song since I sung it in elementary school or listened to it on cassette tape. It's a beautiful song. Thank you for posting this!!!!

[hepthomassen]

I think it's great that they addressed the "post-Christmas let-down"....lol

[JGCooney]

I noticed that Luis (Emilio Delgado) wasn't on this special, David was Maria's special friend (Northern Calloway, Sonia Manzano).

[IdolGirliexoxo]

i had the CD when i was a kid, i feel so old.. and i'm 14.

good memories :)

[BuckWilliams17]

@IdolGirliexoxo You missed the 80's (aka the golden years of Sesame Street) then.

[fashiongoddess76]

aha daaang, i feel old XD

[TenderTrap86]

Keep Christmas with you all through the year, everybody.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all and to all your loved ones.

[mastarockafella]

[Bigben1984]

[borgyiheart08]

[jdavailus]

[schemer1991]

[kermitgirl08]

he said thank you

[kermitgirl08]

sure i will tell you :)

[TheSesamestreetlive]

I love this song and I have elmo saves christmas version

[Bigben1984]

I love how Sesame Street showed the Christmas spirit while at the same time kept it non-demoninational they never mention Jesus once they mention Cheer Happiness, giving and loving which I think is the spirit that should be spread around the world not that there's anything wrong with Jesus it's just that you don't have to be Christian to keep the Christmas Spirit

[wowoak]

@Bigben1984 True, but oh how much more special is that day to a believer in Christ! The One True Gift that changed the world!

[wait4lily]

@Bigben1984 Ummmm, CHRISTmas IS CHRISTian, so in a way, you are saying its great that we took the HOLY outa the HOLYday,,, Ummm, OK,,,,

[myseventhbmw]

@Bigben1984 I agree. They were so good at being all inclusive. 

[kermitgirl08]

i know sign language my mom and dad are deaf so i grew up watching sesame street and i love every minute of it :)

[daming7562]

oh could you please tell me what are the adults are talking? starting 1:33, i know Bob says Thank You! at then end tho...

[Skulblaka1987]

my sign language is a bit rusty, but i think first Bob says: "you taught this to the kids?" and she responded with. "i was happy to, my christmas gift to you'

[Katzi]

Wow!Thanks!I was wondering what they were signing to each other! (The only sign language I know is the alphabet "Happy Birthday",Thank you,"I Love you" & "cat")

[Bellemonte7]

I was very touched!!

[zacandtaylorrule]

Oh my god. I have been searching for this for years. This used to make me cry as a kid because it was so beautiful and I am not ashamed to say that even though I am 37 it still does.

[tsjrlover]

Bob McGrath IS Sesame Street. Fabulous

[BuckWilliams17]

I almost agree with you. Bob is what Sesame Street SHOULD be. Unfortunately, Elmo is Sesame Street, now. Not even CLOSE to the same thing.

[adia1270]

I want to teach the sign language to second graders. Does anyonw know if this is accurate? Pretty sure it is.

[carebearsful]

yes i know for a fact that this is accurate. I know sing language and taught my Niece and the three kids I babysit for.

[PeterBluth]

I just got the DVD of this special. It's still as much fun now as it was when I was a small child.

[mratfauver]

@PeterBluth I have the DVD of this special, too.

[charlottepoet]

that is so sweet :)

[bjc952]

I love this song. I am so glad I found the whole christmas eve on sesame st. This is my all time favorite christmas memory with my daughter. Shes 36 now and i played it for her. It brought a tear to us both.

[SpunkySouthernAngel]

Does anyone have the one they did feliz navidad

[springreturning]

Bob is amazing

[meriwesslie]

Look at that full head of hair! Teehee. This is adorable!

[SaveOurPlanetBeVegan]

haha

[dianaschnuth]

I haven't watched Sesame Street in 20 years... now I have to go look for videos of bald Bob! :-)

BTW, I was surprised to find that I remembered almost all the sign language to this one. I was a big fan of Linda and signing back in the day.

[TheArtsyTuber]

I miss this song!!!!

[Vicious516]

You guys are the best.

[sculp20]

Nice

[babtothebone]
