  • merrrry christmas everybodyyy !!!!!!

  • Listening to the Whispers sing this song really gets me in the Christmas mood. Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays to everyone! God Bless all.

  • Listening to this song makes me so grateful for what I have with my love ones and how Blessed I am.

  • this is my first time spending christmas with the girl i love, and she who love me back {i miss you babe }

  • to listen to this song and Chris Rea's Driving Home From Christmas during this time of the year makes it so much more special...so uplifting and so much to look forward to! Not about the money, but about the memories...we did not have a lot of money growing up, but we never felt "poor" or hunger...my kids are so fortunate today!

  • nice

  • This sound better than The Temptations version. :)

  • @KCALism This is nice, but the Temptations version is funky, it moves you!!

  • @leroy592 Yeah I guess you're right, just listened to it again and they're a little more soulful with it. :)

  • Love this song it brings so many memories of joy laughter smells of foods pine cones love in the air friends family cutting pickles auntie bring chex mix homemade egg nogg with brandy couldn't wait to open gifts but the gifts were always for me was the door opening and arms full of hugs and kisses that day Tis Christmas brings many tears but no regrets Happy holiday to all.

  • Your xmas album collections just isnt complete without this one.

  • love this song

  • Much better than Chris Brown...

  • Much better than Chris Beown...

  • Donny Hathaway is the original and the best imo.  Love this version too.

  • The memories you have of your father and what he did for you and your sister are by far a lot better than any store bought gift you could have ever received. You were very lucky to have such a loving father.

  • christmas isnt right for my family without The Whispers' Happy Holidays To You album.

  • This is what make the other music sound good, these are the guys here.

  • I'm 55 and the kid I remember still shows up with songs of old.

  • The Whispers bringing it old school like only they can. Yeah, I'm liking it...

  • So beautiful!!!!

  • Word cannot describe these guys they are the greatest. I love everything they do!!!!

  • Love it :D

  • To hear how this man sing's this song from his soul, I only wish that people could open and give of themselve's from their soul's, this song, the tone, the sound it opens the Heart because it speak's right to the Heart, no matter how you're feeling, it gets better as you're hearing this soulful Heart-2-Heart song. Let's smile more, let's Love more, why? just because

  • just sitting thinking about when the whole family getting together for christmas, the kids running around playing with their new toys and the grown folks toasting and havin a good ole time. THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!!!

  • So nice!

  • There's nothing like "Old School" to give me that warm holiday feeling.

  • Oh, is this the one Bieber redid?

    This one is beautiful.

  • This is a bad ass Christmas jam

  • my dad bought the 8 track album back in 79 for my mama and even though i was a little boy, i can remember my mama constantly playing this during the christmas season...ahhh memories.

  • Merry Christmas to all!!!!

  • Love it. Love it. Love it. :-0)

  • Love the Whispers!!!

  • This is the one!

  • Wow, I feel so much more emotionally listening to this version than any other rendition.

  • my dad was a single parent raising two of us little girls and we never had a christmas because he was just a mechanic working under the table so he couldn't afford it. however, at least i have the memories of him riding my sis and I to the local mall to get a few things but we would hear these songs on the radio and in the malls while shopping and riding here and there. those were fun days i miss.

  • @721rem Wow! That made me cry....what a great memory.

  • Comment removed

  • @721rem Your father sounds like a real man & father to his children. I am glad & proud for you & him to read that you feel this way & appreciated all that he tried to do for you & your sister. Your father was/is a real man, no question about. I wish that all men understood & had the high moral character of your father. My hat's off to him for doing the right things in the right way. That's what real men do, no matter what the circumstances are. Merry Christmas to you 721rem & your family.

  • @DaddySweet100 thank you

  • @721rem You're welcome. I see you're still up listening to YouTube too. LOL.. Merry Christmas to everybody at your house..

  • @DaddySweet100 gooing to bed now. thanks for the wishes. no merry christmas for me. my dad is in a nursing home due to a stroke, my mama's in the hospital for a month now and my sister is ill also. its just me. christmases suck round here.

    but at least so far my family is still around but dont know for how long and all. your have a great holiday and if you have family, dont take them for granted, even if you guys argue, LOL. its all about God anyway.

    merry christmas!

  • @721rem That is so special. Sometimes it is not all about the gifts and the hoopla. But just being with family and those who love you is sometimes enough.

  • @721rem Hi. I am a 44 year old father of 3. My wife & I do well financially & can buy our children whatever they want & need. Your reminiscing about ur dad was so touching. I shed tears as I read it. My best memories r of Dad driving us in his old truck. He gave us used toys; all he could afford. I loved him so much for being Dad & loving us so. Dad went on to Glory in November. I miss him so. NO amount of money could replace those times. Thank u so much for sharing ur story and God bless u.

  • @dienglee must be nice to be able to have a christmas. my whole family is sick, hospitals and mursing homes while i enjoy being broke and worrying over them.

    some people have it all. great!

  • @721rem you come off sounding very jealous. Your fortunes can change for the better.

  • @721rem What a wonderful story. I wish more people would understand that material things don't last, but the love you have for your family never dies.

  • This song makes me want to cry, I remember my mom playing it when i was little when we were making cookies at my old house :C

  • @CreeepitReal nothing like a memory but sometimes it hurts to remember doesnt it? or is it just me.

  • @721rem I know just how you feel, because altho the memories are beautiful, they can still be painful, knowing how time changes everything. I really feel the pain of missing my loved ones this time of the year. Giving and receiving Love are the best gifts in the world. Cherish the ones you love.

  • @721rem No, it's not just you. Many of us feel this way especially during the holiday season.

  • A Classcic!

  • Blessings to my sisterfriend Nadine McKinnor who wrote this popular Christmas song. She is a living legend.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG WHEN LIFE WAS EASY AND LAID BACK OH HOW I MISS THOSE DAYS

  • Just wonderful. It is Christmas time peeps! :)

  • There's nothing like an old school flavor when it comes to celebrating Christmas...Solid

  • Simply a beautiful smooth and classy version! Merry Christmas!

  • There's not many Christmas songs that you can dancet to slow, but The Whispers version of this song allow you to get close and feel the magic of what Christmas is about, it saysThis Christmas will be a very special Christmas, you stand close to the one love and let the magic of the holiday transend the love you have for a special person. The Whispers music is all about love, making love and being in love and it show up in This Christmas. Thank you for This Christmas.

I love your music as well as millions of your fans throughout the world. May Peace Love, happiness and Joy fill your lives Always.

  • das ma song!!!!!

  • love this song

  • brings tears to my eyes everytime.Ed-Wop.

  • I love this song in general...the Donny makes me so happy; this version makes me kinda sad as I think of my family at home (I'm in Japan now, and Christmas isn't really big thing) so I'm very grateful to have both versions to listen to; I grew up on both Donny and Whispers and It's really reassuring to hear them :)

  • Merry Christmas & have a Bless New Year!!!

  • the whispers are great group will always cherish there music yea!!!!!!!!!!!

  • If you haven't heard it, please check out "A Song for Donny" the Whispers' beautiful tribute to the late great Donny Hathaway, the originator of this new standard.

  • My daughter does not understand that original is better than a remix. Shout out to the old school "This Christmas" songs.

  • @kedanchris1 I grew up on this verson! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

  • @kedanchris1 In some cases I would agree, but Jesus came to fulfill the Word not destroy any of it. So before it was God dealing with man and now it's Christ (I know one and the same) however the point is; things do get better wiith time. Once there was slavery now there's not. Women couldn't vote now they can You be Blessed and continue to teach your child. Children are our future.

  • @kedanchris1 They all still suck though. I hear these shit songs every day multiple times onthe radio at my work. It is HORRIBLE.

  • @kedanchris1 old skool is always better u got my vote ;-)

  • wow that was awesome!

  • The GREATEST Group EVER! Loves the Whispers!

  • I like this version just as much as the Donny version. AND I love the Donnie song more than This Christmas. R.I.P Donny Hathaway. The Whispers 4 Life

  • What can I say - Merry Chritmas Everyone & to me:)

  • Better than the Chris Brown version! XDD

  • The holidays are so special with the family and hearing the holiday songs each year makes you appreciate the meaning of having a family. May god bless each and everone of you on this holiday and might you say a special word for me and my family as I continue to serve here in Iraq. God bless

  • I never had heard their version of this song before!! It's beautiful and relaxing.

    It's funny because I never heard this version but I definitely knew it was The Whispers by the singing voice. Very rich.

    Didn't take more than a sec to find this. =]

  • Merry Merry everybody been a great year!

  • when i here this song makes everthing okay

  • this song will get you into the holiday sprit

  • words cannot express how happy and joyful this song makes me... I grew up listening to this and all other Whispers hits... 8 tracks use to Go Hard 2 back in the day...

  • Da Sun(jesus) is born(resurected) on dec 25th.. give praise 2 DaSun for giving us life not a man.. peace 2 da Gods and the earths!!

  • Tears, tears, tears. This song brings back so many memories. My mother was a big Whispers fan. Next to Donny I love this version. I sure wish she was here.

  • I LOVE THE WHISPERS..

  • Whisper's song this right here..

  • For some reason this particular version Tugs Hard at my heart strings..actually bringing me to tears when I think of how many christmas i spent with my moms with this playing in the background. she was my world.shes gone now two years.and hearing this just tears away at my heart..but through the blinding tears..i still get the warm feeling like in that movie Ghost..shes right beside me..but even when she was alive this version seemed to be the most hauntingly beautiful. the vocals are heavenly..

  • @blkshepherd -- What a beautiful post. This song is very beautiful and I believe that warm feeling you're getting is your Mom giving you a hug and telling you that everything is just fine. What a wonderful way to remember your Mother.  Happy Holidays and God Bless!

  • @blkshepherd Hi, hope you're doing ok. I can relate to how you're feeling. I remember my family during this time of the year. They are no longer with me, Mom, Dad and a brother I was VERY close to are gone. Christmas was never quite the same when they left. I do the best I can each year. I feel your heart with how you're feeling about your Mother. I was close to mine's. We have to remember that they, our loved ones that are gone, will ALWAYS be in our heart and spirits. Merry Christmas

  • @areyuwithme thanks very much feeling my pain..Losing a mother has to be the worst. that was the person who brought you in to this wonderful world..our mothers carried us nine months..protecting us from the outside world even after we were born ..and grown up. they still cared. with them gone it dosent even seem quite Real..for me its like ok..shes just away for a few days..i have to believe in that movie Ghost..and my God..otherwise..i would just grieve away and i know moms wouldnt want that.

  • @blkshepherd sorry for your lost i lost my dad in 2006.. i was just sitting here thinking about him with tears running down my face well i know are parents are in a better place. merry xmas everone.....

  • @soulsista1975 at least know that you are NOT ALONE.sorry for your lost..trust me I know and my heart aches right along side yours. The Lost of a Parent feels the worst as they are the ones that brought us in to this world. If not for them. You and I would not even be having this conversation or listening to this video..we simply would not exist..Merry Christmas to your dad, my mom, and you.

  • @blkshepherd I feel your pain. I lost my mom 5 years and the pain never really goes away. However, I feel her presence and that is what sustains me. Blessings to you during this holiday season.

  • @FLOSUNSHINE I dedicate this songs to all of us who losted our moms and whom share that common lost. This song shall offically be dedicated to the Lost Moms...Merry Christmas Ma, Your kids Sure MISS YALL!

  • I agree this is the best version of "This Christmas" When you hear this song you right away get that Christmas spirit.....

  • this the best version

  • i love my mama

    

  • this song is so good i sing thru out the year!, no one i have heard can come close to the whispers singing it, i feel chills all thru my soul just listening to this song.

  • Love this version . Thanks for the video

  • I'M REALLY IN THE HOLIDAY MOOD NOW.

    WE ARE ALL SO BLESSED.

    FRIENDS & FAMILY

  • Finally! I have been looking for this version like forever. They use to play this version a lot on the radio when I was kid during the 80s. They don't play this version on the radio anymore for some reason.

  • @killerbees2K6 The DJ's are all too young - and given their background and experience - probably don't even know The Whispers exist, let alone this song. Some of these youngster DJ's have probably never even heard the original by Donny Hathaway. So, forgive them for they know not what they do. LOL!!!

  • It's G.O.O.D. Music

  • Happy Holidays from (Georgia)...Merry Christmas Everyone!

  • Merry Christmas From H-Town Houston (Texas) The Biggest State On The Map.

  • A great slow, mellow take on a wonderful song...

  • how you make a christmas song sexy......whispers did a great job with this one

  • I remember back in 1979 when my girlfriend introduced me to this album. We were married in 1982, and this album has been played every Christmas since then. This song reminds me of love, family and the real meaning of Christmas!!

  • @jhillz1 I was born 1979, wow still a good song, makes me think of when i was a kid and good times with family and friends. wish i could go back in time sometimes

  • THE WHISPERS---I SALUTE YOU

  • make jesus your center of your life and let him know that you are glad he is the light of your life. give him your praise. let the light flow through you and be a faithful servant of the lord jesus christ.

  • The Whispers are the BEST group...ever. I want to marry them!!

  • I love the whispers and heard almost all their stuff even the beat of this used for in Song For Donny. But this is a great Christmas one I've never heard.

  • I love this damn song.. My momma's fav.. I miss you momma.. !!.. Christmas in the summer.. *sigh*

  • Praise God Jesus Is Lord This Song Every year to hear is a blessing

  • whsipers need to get there just do i am tired of seeing the ojays on Bet now they Need to get whispers

  • @40226hwc Jesus is not lord of all if he send people like you who are prejudice against gay people. So, please dont fabricate and say i don't have a problem with, when churches teach that prejudice crap society. I rather as a gay guy sit on Santa's Lap than jesus, please, give me a break. Bite me.

  • @davewc39 Made that Comment Like 11 Months ago About this song being Aswesome Then I Began to Express HOW It is JESUS & Only JESUS That is the reason for the Day & All Days Where in all of this are U Offended? I Never Said Anything ABout U Being gay Or what ever---What ever U Are & Who Ever U Are is Between U & Your Maker
