  • Its just not CHRISTmas without the sounds of J. Math!

  • Just fab! Have to hear this song at Christmas time!

  • Im sorry, but this is the BAD version of Sleigh Ride! The best two are the Carpenters and Leroy Anderson. This version gives me the creeps! Good vid, just wrong version of the song. IMHO.

  • It isn't christmas without music from Perry Como, Bing Crosby, and Johnny Mathis. That's what I remember from my childhood. To all Merry Christmas and the best for the New Year

  • @PorterRoc3645 Or Nat King Cole.... The Christmas song always hails in the best of the season... 

  • I love Johnny Mathis - what a great voice!!

  • He cheats on the "we're gliding along.../these wonderful things..." parts. There are more than 2 notes, Johnny! (Amy Grant cheats too on her version)...I'm just sayin'.

  • Haha, what a joyful video ! I really love it to watch, also on a springtime day, where we had 17 degrees C .... plus, hahahha..... It is great to watch the fun the people have and to listen to the really nice song. You did a great video !!! Thank you and keep up your nice work. ULI

  • why am i listening to this now?

  • This song gets me ready for Christmas no matter what time iof year it is!

    A great song! Who better to sing it than Johnny Mathis! YES!

  • Super !!!!! -- nothing finer to listen to at Christmas .

  • "There's a happy feeling, nothing in the world can buy..." How true.

  • You call that snow?Right now,there are 4-5 foot drifts with around 30 inches on the ground in a heavily urbanized area of NJ.

    Now,that's snow!

  • Thank you for sharing this beautiful video, this is one of my favorite Christmas songs and here I've found an excellent voice and a great video!

  • So Beautiful!!! I Just Want To Be There!!

    This Is The Real Life!!!

    Merry Christmas And Happy Season!!!

  • ♥Merry Chriistmas♥ Tweh all Have A Niice Holdiiday && Tweh The Little Kiids Hope Santa Brinqs Yuh Everything yuh WANT only if yuh been a good giirl/boy :) lol Love Sonqq!!!

  • merry christmas to all!!

  • Lovely video! Had to laugh at the guy getting hot and bothered over the fact it's a sled and not a sleigh...

  • @MetaNixon Yeah, that guy takes the cake!

  • Winter Wonderland!!

  • It's a beautiful song and video. The critique is really weird, I'm going to be honest, I'm glad he is not my husband. lol

  • The only problem is that the song is about a sleigh ride shared with another person and your video is about a sled ride alone. ..quite a difference. Sleds are compact enough to be pulled by a person or an animal like a dog. A sleigh is much larger and requires a much larger animal such as a horse.

  • @eyesk8er Hi, actually there are two people on the sled, I was on the back and my daughter was on the front, you can see her hair blowing in the wind! Merry Christmas!!

  • @YesMan46 That's nice but it's still not a sleigh even if there was a dozen. Just use your computer to find out the difference; that's what I did to make certain I was correct.

  • @eyesk8er Gee, you a tough guy to please, 237, 867 views and 295 likes, you are the first one to mention that. Do you think every video has to show exactly what the lyrics state?? Ever hear of something called artistic freedom or poetic license?

  • @YesMan46

    lol Can't please everybody, I guess... not even on Christmas.

  • @eyesk8er

    Light en up. You sound like you like to argue. THIS VIDEO IS GREAT AS IS !!

  • @eyesk8er

    Cut YesMan46 some slack, for god's sakes. It's a great song and video; enjoy it for what it is instead of criticizing it for what it is not. Merry Christmas.

  • my favorite parts to sing are the "yooohooooo" and "land of snooOOOOoooooooow~" haha.

  • I want snow...:(

  • I remember hearing this song a million years ago at my Grandma's.  What a great voice! JM ROCKS! Another youtube holiday song you might want to check out: The Spirit of Christmas by John Starley Allen. The lyrics bring back a flood of memories...!

    Merry Christmas!!!

  • jaja this song just makes me smile XD

    Too happy to be true =D

  • I got to visit that part of New York state when I lived in B'klyn..I miss the Snow, Ice, Christmas spirit of Ole New York..I presently live in Puerto Rico..it's a "sunny christmas" which begins in September playing Christmas music..on the radio& ends January 13 after Jan.6--3 Kings Day, which is celebrated here more than Santa Claus it's hard without a fireplace to convince the kids. Our 3 Kings come in horses & kids leave them grass in a shoe box & water. Merry Christmas to all VIVA MARIA!

  • Merry Christmas from Minneapolis Minnesota

  • My favorite CHristmas song <3 My favorite CHristmas artist too <3 Gets me in the moood. And I LOVE the Christmas mood.

  • Love the way he says "PUNKIN PIE"

  • This is a very nicely made video of my favourite christmas carol. Great Work!

  • This album was released just before Xmas 1958; Columbia pressed 100,000 and sold out before xmas; new orders couldn't be filled until Jan 1959. The album was a treasured xmas gift. It zoomed to #1 in album sales. In xmas 1959 same thing, took #1. This album out sold the prior 5 year combined xmas albums of Sinatra/Como/Crosby! The finest xmas album ever & the people of that era realized the singing, interpretation & voice of JM was something special; never to be duplicated by anyone.

  • I Love Johnny Mathis et his Christmas Musique, even though he is gay, {"Not that there's anything wrong with that" = Seinfeld}

  • 59 days until Christmas!

  • @xxsonyboy4lfexx you were counting before Halloween :(

  • OMG I LOVE THIS SONG!!! <3

  • Hey, I live in Atlantic Highlands, NJ in Monmouth County. December 19th, 2009, we had an awesome snowstorm. Then, the first week of February, we had a blizzard that dropped 3 1/2 feet of snow! Thanks for uploading! Brings great memories!

  • Yes. I am listening to this in July. (:

  • you live in Secaucus!!!!?? I live so close to there! awsome! I hope your christmas went great!

  • Thanks, was in Secaucus last night with my family check out my latest video from midnight mass last night! Merry Christmas

  • @YesMan46 Candid Camera once did a stunt where the grand prize for a grocer's Millionth customer was a walking tour of Secaucus while 1st runner up got a week in Hawaii & 2nd runner up got a week in Europe ! My Mom's from W Orange, never lived there but feel like I have from Mom's stories! Come visit my music channel! Chuck

  • @chkjns That's funny, used to love candid camera, yes Secaucus was always the butt of many jokes with the pig farms and the stink! Just subscribed to your channel.

  • I keep hearing this song sung by women, now that it's Xmas time. Does anyone know who they are? Sounds like The Crystals, Ronettes or something similar.

    Anyway it's a lovely Xmas song.

  • Happy Holidays, Holy Days, Festivals, Ceremonies, Celebrations, Hannukkah, Kwanzaa to all. HAPPY NEW YEAR in 2010 and JOY TO THE WORLD!

  • Love the video. It looks like the Saratoga Springs NY area.

  • Thanks, it's actually beautiful Manalapan, NJ and in Monmouth Battlefield State Park! I'd love to get to saratoga Springs, heard it's really nice. Merry Christmas!

  • @YesMan46  How nice! :) Hudson County, NJ!

  • @whenaman Thanks man, I grew up in Hudson County, good ol' Secaucus!

  • Mr. Mathis makes this sound even more light-hearted than it already it.

  • This songs reminds me of my father when I was a kid. He was such an easy going, kind man and he would lift me on the couch because I was too little to climb it and I would pretend the couch was my sleigh. My dad always went along. We always sang this song together. love you dad. :) Good quality video and sound! Thanks for posting!

  • my favorite part of the song is 1:30 when he sings 'pummmmkin pie'. oh my gosh i just love the way he plays with the lyrics. and he's got such a festive voice! my most favorite version of this song EVER.

    Pete the Greek

  • @xxdjcharlierockxx Get a dictionary or use your computer and find out the difference between sled and sleigh. I know you'll be surprised since what you described was a sled not a sleigh.

  • FOUND THE SONG! WOOHOO! ok, so who were the originals? was it the somethings what was it?

  • It is not officially Christmas till we hear this song. His Xmas cd's are by far the best, we are actually on our 4th generation of playing and singing his Xmas songs, such a performer.

  • the GIDDYUP phrase sounds very much like

    FOX SPORTS by MJJ MUSIC

  • Love the way he says punkin pie

  • Of all the versions of this song, I would say this one is my favorite. I have it on one of my Christmas compilation CDs.

  • Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,

    Ring ting tingling too

    Come on, it's lovely weather

    For a sleigh ride together with you

    Outside the snow is falling

    The Bankers are laughing "yoo hoo",

    Because they scammed a Trillion dollars from me and you.

  • lmao nice one

  • when i was in third grade,i sang this song!!!!!!!!

  • traditionally classic!

  • Wonderful song. Johnny Mathis still rocks !

  • Awesome vid, 5 stars, makes me yearn for the northern latitudes(Utah)!(sighs)

  • finally i found this song... love it

  • One of my favorites,just luv it.Anybody has santa got lost in texas by Micheal Landon ?.I would love to hear it.

  • Great Video and great choice for a song...

  • I hate christmas.

  • I first owned the 33 rpm album of Johnny Mathis singing Christmas songs ...we listen to it every year while trimming the tree. A Christmas must.

  • Me too!!!! I've loved Johnny since I first heard "Chances are" in the late fifties. He's the tops!!!Merry Christmas from Reading,Berkshire, England.

  • Reminds me,when I was a kid!

  • I've never had a white christmas!! T-T

  • merry christmas to every one, and i love the snow!!! just hate being out in it!!lol i wish u all a well christmas and a happy new years!!!

  • Ahh, took me about thirty minuts to find this version

  • johnny's christmas album and nat king cole's are the ones that i grew up on and both still sound great 50 years later.

  • Nice Job.

    Where is this location??What town and state?

  • Monmouth Battlefield St Park, Manalapan, NJ...Imagine a former battlefield!

  • Thanks. :P

  • i used to hate winter but i dont know. the snow/christmas songs, the beautiful white everywhere, bundling up infront of a fire, sleighrides, the excitment of snow, I dont know...theres alot to be said for winter. :)

  • Nice comment, I like that!

  • I wouldn't know what winter is like. In Louisiana it gets to about 35-40 degress with 90% humidity...freakin cold. I have seen snow twice and it stuck on the ground forever...well at least until the next day when the high was 65. Snow is beautiful though. I actually do dream of a white Christmas but most of the time its a nice 55-60 degrees on Christmas day.

  • Hey your not missing much. It's freezing, the snow is coming down hard, and your stuck shoveling it off the sidewalk. Beautiful to look at but so much work. Plus your car is always dirty, and you have to go out and warm the car up when you are beyond cold. The salt eats up your car too that's why we get the rust. If you are a kid, it's a blast. After that...no thanks. Enjoy Christmas at 60 Degrees. Lucky you. You take care and Merry Christmas, and of course Happy Thanksgiving.

  • Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to you too.

  • I love all this Christmas music but I love the "Religious" songs the most! Oh Holy Night is my favorite! Maranatha!

  • Love this video & song.Brings back memories

    HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !!!!!

  • Glad you like it, I had fun making it, love the 60's and 70's too!

  • WOOOOT! ^^
