i have played this song for my grand kids for 15 years and still counting. Ray charles sings all his songs with meaning and soul and this one holds no exception. We miss you Ray
this song reminds me of old time christmas' when grandpa was still here with us. i cant stop crying everytime i hear this but i know he's in a better place. Thank you Jesus for the memories and giving me an amzing grandfather.
Thank you so much for this video! I am so impressed with it, that I am sending it to all I love this Christmas! Have a Merry Christmas and the Happiest new Year yet!!!
i remember as a little girl, my dad and me would sit in front of the fire place and roast marshmallows and listen to this song. i miss child hood so much. :(
i wish that for everyday that was a good day. there would be a camera recording it just so you could live through it once more
The powers that be would have us divided as to perpetuate the big distraction from the real problem.. Them! In the end our skin color doesn’t matter, it’s how we walk our walk and carry our selves throughout our lives’. Are we examples of patience, kindness and unselfish acts? Have we set right all our wrongs to the best of our ability?
Rosie, this song has nothing to do with race, black or white, it is solely about XMAS. And Xmas is extended to every single person in the world, if they wish to take advantage of that, well good on them.
@pittycross Thanks for your comment Pit, when I made this slide show I had recently been laid off, I think the term "downsized" was used. It was a low point for me to be facing the holidays with such a bleak outlook. I really was just looking for a project that would allow me some holiday cheer. I used the limited resources I had available, took a great deal of care in putting it together and a lot of my heart to make a presentation that I hoped would evoke the spirit of this song... enjoy
@Danok009 I listened to this version all season last year and fell in love with the images and music you put together so I'm gonna listen to it this year as well with my two beautiful daughters, thanks and merry christmas.
@Danok009 Reading your comment while listening to this song and seeing your family pics brought tears to my eyes. Thinking about your situation and you putting this together makes me very happy. You must be an incredible human being:)
I'm glad I only hear this song 2 or 3 times a year. For some reason it is not played too often during the Christmas holidays so it always stays special. It is a great song and reminds me of Christmas as a kid, in my twenties and now as a parent.
so many christmas's I was gone, called off miles away and now these years I would give it all back to just be there, I wish for one thing only, that each and eveyone of you will be with the ones you love. And all you with children so small hold them tight for 30 years will pass like a night.
I love that people write these great songs. I'm also not going to feel bad when some talented singer, who didn't write, embraces these songs and brings them to life! Kudos to the singer/songwriter who does it him/herself.
Wow I remember one magical Christmas morning while my family was shopping, I was watching an old reel-to-reel of Christmas the way we used to do it back when I was little.
I Love the song however the video strikes my heart very hard! I was recently divorced and did not have the chance to spend Christmas with my 3 girls. :(
I adore his voice. His and Elvis's are my two favorite voices to listen to. Ray brings that same raw feeling, depth and heart and goodness to a song. Such a gift.
Yep, another great one from Ray. Found this one in the old Chevy Chase movie, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989). My 5 and 6 yr olds reckon the movie is great, true, but I reckon this song is one of the very best parts of it.
Merry Christmas to you too Alberta from Marlborough, Massachusetts, US of A!! Ray Charles, one of a kind. Beautiful voice, beautiful song. Peace and goodwill to ALL!!!
Lets stop all this get back one upmanship sh**t, and all have a Merry Christmas, and share what ever we are blessed w/ those less fortunate ones, and "GOD" knows there are enough of them to go around this christmas!!
Enjoy shut your eyes and open your hearts......you will never be the same! Then seek him (Jesus) your about to be in peace and amazing.............Merry Christmas!!
Amen Your simple straight forward comment shines brighter than most ,I feel better just knowing there are those who can say a paragraph, w/ a few well said words Merry Chistmas to you and thanks
I believe in Santa ... It's not about presents, its about presence. Its one time of the year that offers Hope, People come together and become Human and actually function as givers ... Who inspires this ? Jesus?? He is everyday. Santa comes around every December. And all seem to get warm and fuzzy in Dec..why ? Santa. Yes. He is the spirit of Christmas.
This is Ray Charles singing - for all of you that do not believe .. I feel sorry for you. Open your mind, your heart and offer out something to someone that has less - Maybe you will then understand. And Believe.
the first time i heard this song National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, and have loved it ever since!!! It always reminds you of what Christmas is really about!!!
Anyone who can listen to this beautiful interperatation, of Christmas, and not be remided of how magical Christmas was when we were younger, Before we found out there wasnt really a Santa Claus, and we outgrew that magic, Lets be reminded to pass that wonderful feeling onto the children, who still to it !! Merry Xmas and thanks for reminding us that its all about the children, and those who dont have the ways and means to enjoy this Magical time of year!!
1,000 years!! I always thought more along the lines of "2009 going on 2010, was the birth of "Santa Claus", actually more than one! Beong the "3 Wise Men, and the shepards", who brought gifts for the Baby "JESUS should be considered to be the first !!
bigdog: The wise men did not bring any gifts to our Saviour Jesus until he was five years old. They came to warn Joseph and Mary about King Herod's decree that all the firstborn sons in the land were to be killed. They weren''t present at the birth. Scriputural.

I am in the midst of whiting out the reference to the 3 wise men, in my bible as I type this I do believe your reffering to the Jewish Holiday, when the believers of Christ had to put Lambs blood, onto thier doors so the "Angel of death wouldnt take their first born childs life??
I am referring to what I said. Don't try to reply with a technical question because I will blow you out ot the water and make you look sillier than you already do. OBTW,,,,the angel of death was in Moses' time. King Herod and the wise men are something completely different and in the New Testament. Read your Bible, then maybe you won't find it necessary to spew your lies and type four letter words as u do. Travis Tritt fan club? Never mind, you just got caught lying as usual. Have a good life.

I have torn up my Membership card to the human race, Put my home on the market, and am moving to a old double wide in Lodi California, that is in a trailer park for ridiculous people who post stupid remarks on "You Tube", and will sign over my 401 ks to the furtherment of those who are smarter than I will ever be!my kids are changing their names also
bigdummy: You are an odd and stupid person. However, your suggestions on what you are going to do sound wonderful. Might I add that you need to eat a big meal of "Delicious Cupcakes from Afghanistan" and then swim in a strong river immediately afterwards. Alrighty then....goodbye and good riddance, lying Jughead.
I was in error I should have said when some have stop "Beleiving in Santa Claus",yes "Virginia, and all true believers", there is and always will be a "SANTA CLAUS"!!!
@bigdognkat wELL i QUESS iVE MET MY MATCH AS TO WHAT TO LISTEN TO? HOWEVER AS FAR AS OL TRAVIS EVER SAYING HE MODELLED HIS STYLE AFTER RAY CHARLES WOULD BE SLIGHTLY INCORRECT, AS A CHARTE MEMBER OF THE "TRAVIS TRITT FAN CLUB", I KNOW HE ACTUALLY MODELLED HIS STYLE AFTER THE LATE GREAT! "BLUES GREAT ...MUDDY WATERS!! AND AS FAR AS THE "MODONNA /STRIESAND THING HERES A RIDDLE FOR YA WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MADONNA CD, AND A PORNO FILM???? GIVE UP? THE PORNO FILM HAS A BETTER SOUND TRACK!
BIGDOGNKAT: Good to know about the Travis Tritt fan club charter member status. My wife was too as a matter of fact. IN fact his fan club was never called the Travis Tritt fan club, it was called Country Club. My wife has met Travis on more than one occasion and has many pics of it. Tell me, what was the little extra that being a member of the "Country Club" got you from ol' Travis? And why did you not reply to me instead of just post so I would not know it? Waiting for your fan club answer
bigdog: And for the record....Travis said he modeled his sound after Ray on more than one occasion, once in our presence. So skippy, what was it that you were saying about whatever it was you were saying? Best thing to do when it comes to Travis Tritt is remain quiet ok. My wife has anything and everything he ever put out and ever had his name on or associated with. But I want to hear your answer about your charter membership in the "Travis Tritt Fan Club" LOL Oh, what is your member #? LOL
Hey Brandon according to metadata on the mp3 it was Written by Mable John, Joel Webster and Parnell Davison. I'm pretty sure that is correct but when I find the CD I'll post with correct info if needed.
This is a great song but I can't help but notice that there is someone who has a voice almost identical to his sometimes. Travis Tritt. Listen to his music and you decide. Sometimes almost identical.
Well that is just a mystery then. It seems as if everyone I know who listens to Travis and Ray really notice the almost identical sound they have. Travis himself has said one of the ones he modeled himself after was Ray Charles....but what does the one who sings like Ray know? Who listens to Madonna or Barbara Streisand? That is something you should have kept to yourself, dude. No wonder you can't hear real music....you listen to crap. Anything else about Madonna and Striesand u wanna add?
As A matter of fact yes there is... You know the difference between a "Madonna CD & a Porno Flick?? The Porno Flick has a better "Sound Track". Your Turn??
Amen smachnick! I listen to this song every now and then - in February, in May, in June, in August, in October - it's a great song anytime of year. Merry Christmas to everyone!
i have played this song for my grand kids for 15 years and still counting. Ray charles sings all his songs with meaning and soul and this one holds no exception. We miss you Ray

:Why can't it remain the same, all through the year, that spirit of Xmas?
I've been a non believer for well over 50 years, but I do believe in the basic principles of Christianity, just not how they supposedly came about.
We do feel something special at Xmas, even those of us with no bed time.
Imagine if the whole world felt this way, for a whole year. Crikey, what a change that would be, for the better.
But it's pipe dreams I know. Anyway, still a great song, any day, any time.

Tell me, what was the little extra that being a member of the "Country Club" got you from ol' Travis? And why did you not reply to me instead of just post so I would not know it? Waiting for your fan club answer

bigdog: And for the record....Travis said he modeled his sound after Ray on more than one occasion, once in our presence. So skippy, what was it that you were saying about whatever it was you were saying? Best thing to do when it comes to Travis Tritt is remain quiet ok. My wife has anything and everything he ever put out and ever had his name on or associated with. But I want to hear your answer about your charter membership in the "Travis Tritt Fan Club" LOL Oh, what is your member #? LOL

Hey Brandon according to metadata on the mp3 it was Written by Mable John, Joel Webster and Parnell Davison. I'm pretty sure that is correct but when I find the CD I'll post with correct info if needed.

This is a great song but I can't help but notice that there is someone who has a voice almost identical to his sometimes. Travis Tritt. Listen to his music and you decide. Sometimes almost identical.

I dug out all old "Travis Tritt" cds and Id have to say ol Travis is about as close to "Ray Charles"?? As "Madonna", is to Barbara Striesand"!!
bigdognkat 2 years ago
Well that is just a mystery then. It seems as if everyone I know who listens to Travis and Ray really notice the almost identical sound they have. Travis himself has said one of the ones he modeled himself after was Ray Charles....but what does the one who sings like Ray know? Who listens to Madonna or Barbara Streisand? That is something you should have kept to yourself, dude. No wonder you can't hear real music....you listen to crap. Anything else about Madonna and Striesand u wanna add?
