Beautifully sung , as all Nat's songs are. The lyrics (likely not by design) kind of describe the demise of the nuclear family and results thereof.....
One of my all time Favorite Christmas Songs ever sung by one of the Greatest Singers of all time, Mr. Nat King Cole. What can you say except this is phenominal.
I do understand the point to the song anyway. The song is about the poor family that couldn't afford to put out gifts for Santa. As a result, the boy's hearts broken and his parents can only pretend that Santa Claus passed them by. It's kind of a shot against the concept of telling kids about Santa Claus when we may not be able to give gifts for the occasion. Kids may start feeling that they aren't good enough to get gifts too. That's my take on the song anyway.
why would you play this song with a video of your children? i've always said that this is the song you'd listen to if you were cutting your wrists at christmas.
i absolutely love this song .nat king cole sings it lovely. it makes me feel a little sad, but i sing it to my grandchildren to make them know how lucky they are.
The type of persons who give responses like this on Youtube are no doubt persons who have no intellect and they know that they cannot be seen via the internet. They are in essence cowards.
Worst Christmas song ever
How in the heck can anyone enjoy it

The point of this song i think is to let us know they are people who have no one, and should never be forgot....

Ooops... you're right. My mistake. It was his second Christmas (the 'Marshmallow World' video is his first). My mistake. Don't tell the wife, lol.
