  • Merry christmas!

  • Christmas is a date that was chosen to celebrate the birth of Jesus. The true date is not known. Many people celebrate it different ways...and in different languages. Does it matter how we say it? Hope everyone enjoys the holidays. Do not forget the meaning and how we should celebrate. It's not about things...it's about what's in our hearts. The greatest gift is to give of ourselves. The feeling we feel is the gift to ourselves..no thanks wanted/needed. Enjoy!

  • this is "our" song between me and my boyfriend :)

  • My favorite. Enjoy

  • Greatest voice of all-time, Ray Charles. I love you.

  • Love the scene on Christmas Vacation when Clark goes through the attic door when his wife opens it, lol.

  • Merry Christmas to all and to all Peace!!!

    From Mexico.

  • Just everyone keep the "MERRY CHRISTMAS" saying alive!

    None of this "Happy Holidays" shit or "Seasons Greetings"!

    ITS MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

  • @ToXicTubeTV lol, Im with ya, Merry Christmas friend

    

  • @jcpirishouse59 Merry Christmas :)

  • Ray had to know he was making a timeless classic with this one. Ive always loved this song, even before Christmas Vacation. Great movie though. Merry Christmas from Washington!

  • simply amazing - Merry Christmas from Calfornia

  • Happy Christmas from Canada!!!

  • Haha reminds me of Christmas Vacation lol, great movie and Merry Christmas!

  • Ray keeps the Christmas spirit alive from the grave

  • ill make it easier lol i just realized that i can put it on here and you'll still see it haha :D ahhhhh i watch this video too much but it's so good... :)

  • we were gonna call... but eddie wanted it to be a surprise. - If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet i wouldnt be more surprised then i am right now.

  • @zillypaul

    She falls down a well, her eyes go cross. She gets kicked by a mule. They go back. I don't know.

  • does not sound like Ray Charles

  • Amen, bigbadcaleb! John Starley Allen's version of this song is my new favorite holday song!

    Peace Out!

  • @fahgetaboutitpeaceou right on and amen. Allen's song is amazing!!!!

  • @fahgetaboutitpeaceou

    I agree with you, fahgetaboutitpeaceou! I think both songs are masterpieces. Ray Charles version is the epitome of soul, John Starley Allen's take is heartwarming and evocotive. The songs are apples and oranges...but very wonderful apples and oranges.

    Merry Christmas!!!

  • What year did he release this???

  • @havingfun1968

    I dunno but it's a great one!

  • Love this song!!! Another great song with the same title is "The Spirit of Christmas" by John Starley Allen. Both songs are great, but they're apples and oranges. Ray's is a perfectly shaped crisp apple...Allen's song is a juicy succulent orange, the color of a golden sunset...

  • eddie the dog.oh hes just yacking on a bone.buuuuurp.he got it up! clark audreys eyes have frozen.oh its all part of the experience honey!im putting in a pool.i cant swim clarke.i know that eddie!save the neck for me clarke!are you excited.shitting bricks.you shouldnt say that word.sorry,shitting rocks.she couldnt hear a dump truck driving through a nitroglycerine plant!

  • @hart2316

    Oh, the silent majesty of a winter's morn... the clean, cool chill of the holiday air... an asshole in his bathrobe, emptying a chemical toilet into my sewer...

  • @hart2316

    Oh Clark... this is a nice surprise! Just a REAL NICE SURPRISE! I got a list here.... and if its not too much, Id like you to get something for you Clark, somethin real nice!

  • @zillypaul

    hahah, Eddie loading up with the dog food! Love that movie!

  • @BigLoveZone

  • @zillypaul

    same to you!!! thanks for making me smile!

  • You did an excellent job on this video !!

    "Squirrellllll"

  • Comment removed

  • @BigLoveZone "Shitter's full! Merry Christmas!" Lol!

  • @AdamsApple1963

    "Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?"

  • @BigLoveZone LOL! "Holy shit, where's the Tylenol?" OMG, I could most likely recite that whole movie by heart!

  • @AdamsApple1963

    My all time fave.........

    "he's got a little bit a Mississippi leg hound in 'im. If the mood catches him right, he'll grab your leg and just go to town. You don't want him around if your wearing short pants, if you know what I mean. Word of warning though, if he does lay into ya, it's best to just let 'im finish"

  • @BigLoveZone "Our Christmases were always such a disaster. How did you get through them, Dad?" "Well, I had a little help from Jack Daniels."

  • @AdamsApple1963

    I simply solved the problem. We needed a coffin... Er, a tree. There are no lots open on Christmas Eve. Lewis burned down my tree so I replaced it as best I could. Voilà.

  • @BigLoveZone "Hey, Griswold! If you're not busy doing anything constructive, would you mind fetching me my stogie?" "Anything else I can get for you, Uncle Lewis?" "Be nice, Clark. This may be Uncle Lewis' last Christmas." "If he keeps it up, it WILL be his last Christmas."

  • @AdamsApple1963 You know we could do this ALL DAY long..hahahah, much enjoyed you 8-)

  • @BigLoveZone fixed the newel post! lol not sure if yal already said that one...

  • @SuperMegaRod

    no, but I can hear the chainsaw revving up now...lol.

    Is Rusty still in the Navy?

    Don't throw me down Clark!

  • @BigLoveZone Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?

  • @SuperMegaRod

    Art: [to Rocky] You got a kiss for me?

    Eddie: Better take a rain check on that, Art - he's got a lip fungus they ain't identified yet!

  • @BigLoveZone

    SQUIRRRRRELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @zillypaul

    I'm gonna catch it in the coat... And smack it with the hammer. 

  • @BigLoveZone Art: You want to hurry this up, Clark? I'm freezing my baguettes off.

  • @BigLoveZone lololol that is my favorite line actually - the way he says it hahaha ahhhh i bet we can do this til xmas lmao - i know i'll be listening to this song until then anyway -

    Lotta sap in here! Mmmm... Looks great! Little full, lotta sap.

  • @SuperMegaRod

    lol...I think of that line when we put up the tree...little full lotta sap! And my tree is artificial! We have this goofy looking stuffed mink that came from some distant relative that we put up on the treel. We call it our SQUIRRELLLLLLL!

  • C#. yes. Sleepyduo37

  • and there you are

    8-)

  • Anyone know what key this is in? C# right? I just need the chords, but no one posted it. Don't people play Christmas music on the holidays besides the recordings?

  • sorry, I don't have that kind of skill. Merry Christmas anyway.

  • MAGNIFIQUE!! My fav..1000000000000 stars! Thanks so much......d.

    Did you get any snow yet?

    Cheers !!

    Best wishes to everyone !!! xx

  • @josepolo950 ....just a little smattering..nothing that stuck. It's sorta warm today. Unfortunately snow complicates our Christmas since we have to drive to our destination of family and friends. Maybe the day after it will snow..that would be cool!! Have a great holiday!

  • Yes that would be perrrrrfect !!! ♥

  • Other's have recorded Seven Spanish Angels but none did it as beautiful as Ray Charles and Willie Nelson. Brings tears to my eyes.

    If you put this to video I am sureyou will do it justice.

  • Thank you so much for this song, it's as beautiful at his rendition of Seven Spanish Angels.

    Saw him in concert in the 80's, an absolute privilege.

    Merry Christmas to you and yours.

  • @Corriefanducky I forgot about the 7 Spanish Angels. That would make a great video. Merry Christmas to you and yours!!

  • This is a great Christmas song!!!!

  • @jh1867 ...my favorite!

  • Beautiful video & song Bobbie.

    Love Ray Charles...saw him in concert in 2003 along with Wilson Pickett.

    Hope you have a very Merry Christmas.

    Dave x

  • How warm... how nice! Thanks!

    Sonia

  • hey you sweet person

    nice vid !!

    any-la-who-ski

    tonight we have a chirtmas parade on main st

    going to get some footage

    Cheers

    DanO

  • Thanks Danny.

  • @danoinreno ,....did you get that parade footage?

  • yes I did and I uploaded it to my other channel "CityOFMartinez"

    although it sort of goes in and out of focus

    when the camera is pointed up the strret looks fine , but as I pan to follow the floats going by , it seems a little fuzzy , or maybe that was just me

    LOL !!

    2 weeks yesterday

    ya know what I talking about

    wink wink

    take care , stay warm

    and smile , you know we all love ya !!

    even me !! LOL !!

  • congrats on a job well done my friend.

    2 weeks...AWESOME xoxoxox

  • thanks sooo very much Bobbie

    your a sweetie !!

  • lovely vid!

  • @verylemon ...thank you very much!

  • Thanks for posting this song. The first time I heard it was Christmas2005 it touched me then and it still does now.

  • @kayjam69 ....same here, Kay! Have a great holiday!

  • this is fantastic....I love his voice and really nice video to go with it....love the pics you chose...<3 Emily

  • Absolutely beautiful song. RIP Ray.

  • Ray is surely missed. Thanks for watching, Wallexus!

  • great song, pretty video! get's me right in the spirit :)

  • that video just moved me into silent tears, why i dont now... but it moved me in some way.. thank you. and a merry christmas from denmark, to you and your kind..

  • I'm glad it touched you like that. Have a very great Christmas!

  • Christmas vacation has to be one of the best christmas movies right behind a christmas story

  • Those are definitely the top two!!

  • wow some one commented on my old suiside joke lol. honey i would never ki9ll myself. at least not before killing the A holes who are causeing me woe 1st. but unfortunately my spelling is still a hot fucking mess. LOL

  • no doubt about it..............i should kill myself. i'll never have love or family like that. after watching this i am more convinced than ever that killing myself is the best soultion to a very permant peoblem.

  • love and families have all sorts of meanings and realities. There are ways much better to change your situation rather than kill yourself. If you want love, love others...donate your time to a shelter or hospital and minister to the needs of people without family or love. You'll be surprised how wonderful you feel when you volunteer to others, plus how much family and love you gain when someone needs and respects you. Good luck and blessings.

  • thanks but i never buy in to that "change your thinking if you can't change your situation crap". sometimes death is an end all to its self. hay that pretty good! I wonder if Hallmark makes suiside cards LOL.

  • LOLOL...

    Wow....

    I think you meant "hey" as HAY is what you feed horses. And suiside? Really? Have you graduated kindergarten?

  • I agree... if you need help, I would be happy to provide you with a gun

  • yummy! careful soldier! remember what the military considers a "gun". besides i don't think your..........."gun" has enough bang to get my off.

  • To get my off? Can you please speak English? It says you're 36 and yet you can't seem to form a single proper sentence to save your life.

  • Wow. Are you guys like boyfriend / girlfriend? chicagotransam is correct about your grammar and atrocious spelling. If you're gonna kill yourself at least do it legibly, eh? I think being dead would be a more permanent problem than your sexual identity.

  • This song brings me to tears ):....

  • Nothing like grabbing a nice hot toddy and sitting on the couch, leaning back, closing your eyes and getting lost to this song...

  • I totally agree!!! My favorite!

  • Beautiful song, great footage of lit trees. Love it. Thank you.

  • thank you, Silam

  • I just love this song....reminds me of Christmas' gone by!
