Bing Crosby - The Littlest Angel

[kenpekie]

This song reminds me of a time before Christmas became synonymous with crass materialism, black fridays, cyper mondays and the rest on the modern baggage..

.love and humility are eternal messages

[TheKristobald]

My favorite christmas song by Bing Crosby and perhaps my favorite Christmas song of all. Listen to it is pure joy . Thank you !!!!

[ruracinme50]

I read the story every Xmas.  My mother played the recording by Loretta Young of this story. Never heard this song. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Janeal29]

I have always loved this song, like so many others it tells what God, and Jesus value the most.

[cyndyac]

I never hear this on the radio and it is one of my favorite Christmas songs. This makes you think of the real meaning of Christmas.

[AngTunayNaTsampyon]

Amen to that @6891man. I grew up with this song. *Tears*

[imajineinfiniti]

I agree, this song always makes me want to cry. <3

[dudgeonshgpa]

I have been looking for this song forever This is the true meaning of Christmas thank you for putting it on you tube it means the world to me.

[1958boomergirl]

This is the very first time I ever heard this song, and now I'm so misty-eyed! Bing Crosby HIMSELF was a wonderful find! I wish he had NEVER died!

[Poodlepups]

I thought for a sec he says "and a worn out scrap of his faithful dog" eek! :D

[Charmaine7357]

Brings back so many childhood memories. It is one of the most beautiful Christmas songs without a doubt.

OMG, jsrcamp... my sincerest condolences on the loss of your angel... :-(

[jsrcamp]

R.I.P sweet liitle Boy we all love you and miss you!

Thank you for posting this song my brothers and sisters and I watched the movie every Christmas. This is the first Christmas without my brother and sister this song makes it a little easier. THANK YOU

[biskitlee]

Excellent song........

[BabkaPierogi]

What a great find! I had come across the names of Helen Hayes & Loretta Young in connection with the story, but never Bing Crosby, although his reading of The Small One was known to me. Fans of Charles Tazewell(author of the original 1946 book, The Littlest Angel) may be interested to know his Littlest Snowman can also be found here on Youtube, incorporated under the title, Christmas Fairy Tale.

My son who is now 32 years old always wanted to hear this song when he was a little boy. It has a very special meaning for me. I love this song too.

[beaso24]

@janeann00 I am now 30 and my father always played this at xmas. I always waited to hear this song but every time I did, I broke down and cried. To this day, this song still brings a few tears to the surface. A brilliant song.

[janeann00]

@beaso24 I didn't realize I could comment back on this thing. I think that is sweet. I do love this song and listen to it all throughout the year. It brings back good memories. :))

[joanpel]

Thank you so much for posting this special song that I have been searching for.

It brings back such fond memories of my childhood Christmases, when the animated version of this story was shown each year and our family all watched it together.

[starriidumb]

Blessings on the posting of this song...the true meaning of giving from the heart and the innocence of a childs heart! Being Native American these are the true gifts of love from a Child of Earth Mother up to Sky Father.The GREAT GHOST SPIRIT..Our *TRINITY*!

& totally agrees with dyslexicjim and his gf's term *arrested development*...Count ME & MINE in on the choice not to *evolve* into adults and their *issues*.

Peace & Love ALL CREATION each moment of Your Life!

I used to have a girlfriend that frequently used the term, "arrested development."

My mom loved this song  - back in 1968.

In 2003 I heard this song again - for the first time in decades, and told my girlfriend - If refusing to become a corrupt adult is "arrested development," count me in....
