I still have the original taping of this off the tv in 1984. Mum played it over and over every Xmas since I was 9yrs old to well into my 20's. As kids, my Brother, Sister and I moaned every year it was put on as we were so sick of listening to it...But... as I've got older it's now not Xmas without it!! I've only been listening to it for 27 years now and still love it. This one's my all time fav x x
This song and this whole cd brings back childhood memories. My Christmas morning always consisted of the family sitting and listening to this cd. My parents split when I was only 12 years old, so I only have 12 years of memories as a complete family. Then I lost my father to a massive heart attack only 7 years later. I'm now 33 years old I also have a 10 year daughter and i've been able to rekindle those old memories. Merry Christmas all and happy new years.
Why oh why, don't they release this TV Special on DVD. It is one of the best ever. This particular routine is so special and means so much to The Radio Venus. Many people will not be able to be with those they love this Christmas - and for all of you, with tears in the eyes, this song is for you. Especially dedicated to Joy (Tisms) and all our friends and family in the UK.
@Rusty3659 Thank you for this information. I will check the site. Here's hoping you have a great Christmas, and are not apart from those you love! Enjoy and thanks again.
Have always loved this. Tears me up now, I used to watch it over and over with a loved one who is long gone. Missing the old days, thanks for posting.
Thinking of and praying for all of you brave men and women serving our country, as well as your families staring at an empty chair this Christmas. God Bless each and everyone, and Godspeed you home to your families.
I'm am the Army brat of a a great man who served the Korean and Vietnam wars, and this song brings back memories. I miss my Dad.
Amazing! They sound beautiful together! By far one of the best Christmas albums ever! Brings back many childhood Christmas memories. I wish they would re-air this special. I havent seen it since I was a kid. This song always make me cry though, so sad but so awesome at the same time.
2 Uncles served in Europe during WW 2. One made it home one earned a Silver Star during The Battle of the Bulge. Unfortunately it was presented to my grandmother my uncle was killed 1-15-45 during the battle. Our generation is the most spoiled in the history of the world.
My old boyfriend and I cried to this song knowing we wouldn't be together at Christmas 1985. Here we are 23 years later back in touch - hope for us all. Wishes can come true. Keep hoping.
This song brings tears to eyes everytime I hear it. I first heard this song as a teenager and actually had it on tape. The tape waa lost and I thought I would never hear this beautiful song again. I'm so glad I found it. God bless whoever posted this!
Well he didn't know she was British and yet sounds well Red Neck to me....this would explain why when I've been to Georgia and Virginia, I've been asked what it's like to have Kangaroo's running wild(???) Ask an Aussie, I say!
One of the all time great Christmas songs and specials but jeez Kenny.... The Canadian Airforce.... with that beard and hair! He should have said Submariner, then I could at least buy the beard. In the meantime GET A HAIRCUT SOLDIER
i remember sitting and watching this with my new born daughter in my lap enjoying every minute of it and especially the talented dancers who back the great Dolly and Kenny
Excellent! Dolly is such a talented singer AND songwriter! Yes she wrote this great song. This particular song still hits home with all of our military personnel overseas during the holidays.
This song reminds me of Christmastime during my childhood years. It also makes me appreciate my parents because one of these days I am going to spend Christmas "Without them" when they are gone, and it will be a hard thing for me to deal with because I have never spent 1 Christmas without them. I had this entire tape that I listened to every Christmas while decorating my tree.
hey. what was this actualy called. . . im 16 and i think it came out before i was born. i have it recorded on an old tape that we have watched every christmas since i was born when we are putting up decorations but its getting a bit worn now. do they actually sell it ??
@tjriddle21 i know how you feel this song brings back so many happy memory's my dad would blast this song at 5 in the morning every christmas morning it never failed one time i tried hiding it but unknown to me he made copies.
