I listen to this year-round. Sitting on a cruise ship in June. "Trudging onward, braving a harsh winter storm! You and I met passing by, now our spirits feel warm.."
This was my Christmas song to my boyfriend. It was my only Christmas wish; to be with him on Christmas. It didn't come true, and I can't see him again until school starts up again. I'm dying here without him, i miss him so much. Merry Christmas, Austin. I love you.
@Mondflamme We can look at this day as a ceromonial day, a day chosen but not accurate. When Jesus was born, the sheep were outside with the shepherds, instead of inside the barns and inns all the time, like in winter (some were inside though). So it was summer, northern hemisphere, mid-later spring, or Autumn. HE was born in the middle of the year. In fact, we must accept that the ceremonial observance of Christmas is righteous enough. Peace be with you. Just give and be blesssed.
:') I'm so proud of myself, I did this song for my Christmas BTEC music course, I sang it so proudly because I'm such a big fan even though no one knew the song. ;3
@tranquilnightmares wow, im sorry for everyone being rude to you based off of your comment to me. never my intention for that to happen i was trying to politely debate with you on the matter. i do though agree with them that a little research proves Jesus' existence, whether as man or God, you decide. for me in my life i have seen Him as God, no questions asked.
Please check out my song Spend "My Christmas Alone (I'd Rather)" or just search Lexendr? Please? It's my first video on youtube and its only been up 3 days :) thanks xxx
I LOVE THIS! It puts CHRIST in CHRISTMAS and it's different than the traditional holiday carols like "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree" because it ahd a modern feel. LOVE IT!
For gods sake, get a grip guys, so what if you think/believe two different things, it's hardly uncommon to two people to disagree about something, so get over it, because a fantastic song by a fantastic artist about a fantastic time of year has been taken over by people who have nothing better to do than sit in front of a laptop screen trying to prove others philosophical beliefs wrong, so please, just enjoy the song! (Rant over)
I remember two years ago when I first heard this song on a Halo 3 montage actually. Can't believe it's already Christmas season already. Christmas season is amazing. <33
For reals now?! This is music, this is what brings people of all races, religions, and beliefs. Quit arguing about stupid things. Listen to the music. Listen to what gave you your beliefs in the first place. Quit proving your ignorance.
@TomClark999 But isn't that a form of ognorance, hipocricy and dsihonesty? To lie or should I say not knowing when Jesus (Pbub) was born but just agree with what man has created?
If they believe December 25th is Jesus (Pbuh) birthdate and it cannot be found in the Bible, are there other issues that are in stake here thay are man made and followed by blind people who are thought do to so?
@eppsislike The people who founded Christmas never said That Jesus was born on the 25th of December so there's no dishonesty.
They wanted to make a day to celebrate Jesus' birth and so they did. I'm not going to pretend they picked a random day, the 25th of December used to be a celebration day for pagans. They wanted to cover it up; let's remember that back then "Christianity" was a compulsory part of society. There's no dishonesty. The only ignorance is that of those who don't know this.
@eppsislike The explanation for some Christians thinking Jesus was born on the 25th of December is not out of malice, only out of ignorance. As for his name change, that's due to Anglicization from Yesshua Messiah.
And could you please be more specific about what these lies that come from "them and their deluded forefathers" are please?
And no, you are right; Jesus' date of Birth is unknown.
@eppsislike I'm starting to loose you a bit; not quite understanding what your point is. And you say they/them is for the pagans. " 'They' picked a random day for Jesus (Pbuh) his birthday, just like they changed his name from Yesshua Messiah to Jesus Christus." - Are you saying the pagans picked a day for Jesus' birthday and changed his name?
And yes, power does corrupt. In previous centuries, and to some extent today, Christianity, and other religions, have been misused for gaining power.
@TomClark999 For what I have read is that the Greeks changed the name of Yesshua (Pbuh) to Jesus but my theorie and what I have studied is that these greeks also had a affeliation with the the Pagans the Romans etc.
Well the bible got infiltrated by the pagans and they use Jesus as the cover up for the Pagan Sun god day of birth and the birthday of the Babylonian ruler called Nimrod.
@eppsislike Interesting. I am aware that when the roman empire adopted the Christian religion, and the Roman Catholics were born, some of the Bible was edited, and parts added when translated to the languages the Catholics now use.
Martin Luther (not King Jr) was the man who noticed this, and that is why the Protestants were born of him. The Bible's of the Catholics and Protestants is in fact different, because yes, the Catholic version was altered.
@eppsislike I have read parts of the Qu'ran. Although I am a Christian, I find it important to not remain ignorant of other religions and theories, although the Bible is the one i am most familiar with because I want to know what I am actually saying I believe as a Christian.
I have to object to your statement that the Bible has changed drastically. Although a couple of parts have been mistranslated (God made the world in 7 'periods of time' rather than 7 days), most is very well translated.
@TomClark999 I respect your statement to the fullest also your belief, keep in mind that the Jews and Christians are people of the book and thee are our cousins.
If i may ask,
Can you tell me what Islam means and what Muslim means please?
@eppsislike Islam is the monotheist religion that believes in a God called Allah who is the God who is believed to have been revealed to prophet Muhammad. A Muslim is a member of that religion.
I do believe that the word Muslim comes from the Arabic word equivalent as I touched on that recently whilst I've just started my attempt to learn some Arabic!
@TomClark999 That is good to hear and I wish you all the succes and blessing in your Arabic languistic training.
Your definition is right but the true definition of Islam and Muslim is yet plain and simple.
Islam means "Total Submittion to the will of God" and Muslim means "He/She who submits to the will of God Almighty"
All the prophets of God Almighty submitted to the will of Allah (God) and by doing so they where a Muslim. Islam is incredibly ancient and the Qur'an gives a good example.
@eppsislike Well, I may be able to answer better if you specify the question a bit more.
I do respect all Muslims' right to freedom of religion and will respect their views and denounce those who disrespect them (for example, I would act if I saw someone drawing images of Allah in an attempt to stop them as I know that is deemed wrong in Islam).
However, I believe Muslims are not going to Heaven as only the saving grace of Jesus Christ can get someone to Heaven. And thankyou (about the Arabic)
You do know that we Muslims must believe in Jesus (Pbuh) not doing so you are not a Muslim, plus the Qur'an and the Haddith tells that Jesus will make his return to earth.
The Qur'an says in Al Baqara chapter 2 verse 62 that wheter you are a Jew, Sabian and Christian and do good, righteuos deeds, feed the poor, pay the poor, believe in the last day and the Hereafter, Allah will give you his blessings.
@TomClark999 "believe in Jesus" does not mean to him what it means to you, just puttin' that out there. Muslims believe Jesus wasn't crucified, but that Judas was killed "in the confusion". Not as a sacrifice for sin, either, I'll have you note.
The website Answering-Islam is very helpful. I encourage you to take advantage of the free information they provide on there.
@dougmoerhoffman Thankyou. Though I was aware that Islamic and Christian belif on Jesus is different, including in the respect that you just mentioned.
I'll take a look at that when I have time. :) Thanks.
@eppsislike But while of course I disagree with the views of Islam and believe they are misguided, I am by no means discriminatory of people who are Muslims, nor do I disrespect their views or their right to have them.
@SonicBiggestFan12 Thats because Christmas was creat because the Pagan Sun God was born on the 25th of December. They celebrate his birthday as a Hollyday and use Jesus as cover up.
Never would I denie the miracelous birth of Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) but no one knows the birth date because in that time numbers/years didnt exicsted.
They celebrate a holliday blindly believing in what has been told to them rather than using common sence and investigate it.
Hey! Hey! Hey!... for your information Jesus is real. He is the son of GOD. He save us from our sin. He was crucified because of us. God has given his own son to save us from sin. and besides.... the reason why christmas day is called "CHRISTmas day is because its JESUS CHRIST's BIRTHDAY...
I'm an atheist and I like this song. I don't judge music by what religion the artist is, that's just stupid. I like owl city and I don't care if this song is christin, mormon, atheist, or whatever. IT'S STILL AWESOME!
I don't wanna argue with anyone now.. someone says "WHY DON'T YOU JUST ENJOY THE SONG?" and he's right... thank you my friend.. you have a lot of common sense...
@CreativeConundrumUK They might be "brainwashed churchys" but at least they know how to utilize spell check. You spelled religion wrong. And your. And dying.
really? you guys are being rediculious. we live in the United States of America. 1st amendment- freedom of speech, press and RELIGION!! we should stop arguing about who is RIGHT and WRONG and just listen to the music!! dont hate, appreciate
I just want to point out that a huge reason that the whole "Santa Claus" story is taught to kids is to help teach them that it is okay to have faith and to believe in things beyond their sight. I'm pretty sure that in most cultures that derived some sort of "Santa" story, be it St. Nicholas or Chris Cringle or whatever, these cultures were of Christian descent and these stories were meant to teach faith. Just saying. The two weren't entirely separate. Well now they are, thanks to society.
No proof that he did or didn't exist, or who "christ" was. Personally I don't belive, and have no religion, but I accept religious people.
And if he did exist, I think he would have been nothing alike what people describe him to be. For example the river that he magically crossed. And that he could walk on the ocean, and stand up from the dead. Maybe..... It was an alien!( :O) Or the whole bible was a fairytale made by drunk people.
Who knows.... but man, this is a beautiful song :)
@Jaewlie Actually, a portion of it was made up by drunk people. There are one or two stories in which famous(well, less famous) figures get drunk and do things that...would make modern people cringe... Of course, those are short segments. I personally AM Catholic of the Latin Rite, and have utmost respect for the teachings of the holy book. I just thought I'd mention those little obscure stories I was shocked about when I decided it was finally time for me to read it for myself.
@LeviNRatbu I believe in Santa and I'm fifteen. I just don't believe in jolly red Coca-Cola Santa. I'm still trying to figure where the various derivatives come from. Chris Cringle doesn't sound like St. Nicholas... I understand that there are various languages, but it seems that proper nouns would remain remotely the same.
Oh, and Nicholas has joined the communion of saints and angels and lives with God the Father forever, for all of eternity. Personally, I'd like to join him. :)
I love how most of the comments just are about the fact that he mentions Jesus' name...wow guys...just wow. Enjoy the song for what it is and what it stands for: 'Spending the time you have with the ones you love." I personally have no problem with it because I am a Christian. But if you can't tolerate any other belief than your own, then don't listen to it.
May we all remember and know that the reason we get to enjoy Christmas every year is because someone loves us so very much, He actually died on the cross for us, came back to life, and promised a mansion in heaven for those who accept Him as Lord and Savior. I'm talking about Jesus Christ. So Merry Christmas. Have a blessed and prosperous life ahead. :D
Merry CHRISTmas....this is how it should be...enough with the happy holidays and holiday trees and gifts......we should be giving a gift to JESUS CHRIST!!! He died on the cross and this is how he is repayed.........
What happened to Merry Christmas. All I hear is 'Happy Holidays' now. Is there a problem with saying Christmas? No. It's a holiday and we should be able to say it anytime or place we want without getting the 3rd degree.
Hey! Hey! Hey!... for your information Jesus is real. He is the son of GOD. He save us from our sin. He was crucified because of us. God has given his own son to save us from sin. and besides.... the reason why christmas day is called "CHRISTmas day is because its JESUS CHRIST's BIRTHDAY...
Hey, please try not to curse this person out. SuperElementalChaos is totally right about why its called Christmas. Telling them to "stfu" wouldn't be a good idea, nor would it be a nice thing to do. If you guys are hating because they're talking about religion, I feel sorry for you. I mean, I may not be super religious either, but I feel a little saddened by you people picking on someone else who believes in Christ.
And on an Owl City song. How dare you. You know, Addam puts these out for people to hear them and enjoy them. Not to sit there and argue about religion.
@SuperElementalCHAOS I do agree Jesus is real, but many people don't believe in God. So saying he's the son of God to prove he exists is irrelevant. Historical proof that he existed, though, is a good way.
I love this song so much :) And I really appreciate Adam Young throwing a lyric about the real meaning of Christmas in there, I think it shows his strength in his faith, and I find that even more beautiful than this song. Which is saying something. ♥
I might sing this for a talent thing at school.... >////<

@TomClark999 Indeed. The Bible is changed drastically, there is only 1 book that contains the original biblical scriptures and that is the Qu'ran.
It gives you the real story of Jesus (Pbuh) a story that makes more sence than todays Trinity theorie.
I suggest you read it one time.
It contains a whole chapter of Maria (Mary) there where the true story is written.

You do know that we Muslims must believe in Jesus (Pbuh) not doing so you are not a Muslim, plus the Qur'an and the Haddith tells that Jesus will make his return to earth.
The Qur'an says in Al Baqara chapter 2 verse 62 that wheter you are a Jew, Sabian and Christian and do good, righteuos deeds, feed the poor, pay the poor, believe in the last day and the Hereafter, Allah will give you his blessings.

@eppsislike I am aware that Jesus is considered a prophet by Muslims however I hadn't realized everything which you have said on your last paragraph.
TomClark999 2 months ago
@TomClark999 "believe in Jesus" does not mean to him what it means to you, just puttin' that out there. Muslims believe Jesus wasn't crucified, but that Judas was killed "in the confusion". Not as a sacrifice for sin, either, I'll have you note.
The website Answering-Islam is very helpful. I encourage you to take advantage of the free information they provide on there.

@dougmoerhoffman Thankyou. Though I was aware that Islamic and Christian belif on Jesus is different, including in the respect that you just mentioned.
I'll take a look at that when I have time. :) Thanks.

@eppsislike But while of course I disagree with the views of Islam and believe they are misguided, I am by no means discriminatory of people who are Muslims, nor do I disrespect their views or their right to have them.

@SonicBiggestFan12 Thats because Christmas was creat because the Pagan Sun God was born on the 25th of December. They celebrate his birthday as a Hollyday and use Jesus as cover up.
Never would I denie the miracelous birth of Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) but no one knows the birth date because in that time numbers/years didnt exicsted.
They celebrate a holliday blindly believing in what has been told to them rather than using common sence and investigate it.
Peace be with you.

@CreativeConundrumUK Let's see it in a scientific way then. Hypothesis : There's a God who planned the creation of universe and life.
How people came to this hypothesis : Life was possible because of so many lucky events, that we might question ourselves if someone didn't help it.
Arguments against it : Universe is vast, random is random, it's possible without.
I'm not a "brainwashed churchys", i'm just a scientist who can use his brain.

@Hafuras Good point but let me clarify this for you so that you will understand once and for all.
Scientifical facts that are known today was already written in the Noble Qur'an 1400 years ago.
Scientists pretty much recycle what is written in the Qur'an without knowing and agreeing with it in the aftermath.
Peace and blessings be with you.

I just want to point out that a huge reason that the whole "Santa Claus" story is taught to kids is to help teach them that it is okay to have faith and to believe in things beyond their sight. I'm pretty sure that in most cultures that derived some sort of "Santa" story, be it St. Nicholas or Chris Cringle or whatever, these cultures were of Christian descent and these stories were meant to teach faith. Just saying. The two weren't entirely separate. Well now they are, thanks to society.

LeviNRatbu 3 months ago
No proof that he did or didn't exist, or who "christ" was. Personally I don't belive, and have no religion, but I accept religious people.
And if he did exist, I think he would have been nothing alike what people describe him to be. For example the river that he magically crossed. And that he could walk on the ocean, and stand up from the dead. Maybe..... It was an alien!( :O) Or the whole bible was a fairytale made by drunk people.
Who knows.... but man, this is a beautiful song :)
Jaewlie 3 months ago
@Jaewlie Actually, a portion of it was made up by drunk people. There are one or two stories in which famous(well, less famous) figures get drunk and do things that...would make modern people cringe... Of course, those are short segments. I personally AM Catholic of the Latin Rite, and have utmost respect for the teachings of the holy book. I just thought I'd mention those little obscure stories I was shocked about when I decided it was finally time for me to read it for myself.

why other people believe in santa?

LeviNRatbu 3 months ago
@LeviNRatbu I believe in Santa and I'm fifteen. I just don't believe in jolly red Coca-Cola Santa. I'm still trying to figure where the various derivatives come from. Chris Cringle doesn't sound like St. Nicholas... I understand that there are various languages, but it seems that proper nouns would remain remotely the same.
Oh, and Nicholas has joined the communion of saints and angels and lives with God the Father forever, for all of eternity. Personally, I'd like to join him. :)

I love how most of the comments just are about the fact that he mentions Jesus' name...wow guys...just wow. Enjoy the song for what it is and what it stands for: 'Spending the time you have with the ones you love." I personally have no problem with it because I am a Christian. But if you can't tolerate any other belief than your own, then don't listen to it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!
May we all remember and know that the reason we get to enjoy Christmas every year is because someone loves us so very much, He actually died on the cross for us, came back to life, and promised a mansion in heaven for those who accept Him as Lord and Savior. I'm talking about Jesus Christ. So Merry Christmas. Have a blessed and prosperous life ahead. :D

Hey, please try not to curse this person out. SuperElementalChaos is totally right about why its called Christmas. Telling them to "stfu" wouldn't be a good idea, nor would it be a nice thing to do. If you guys are hating because they're talking about religion, I feel sorry for you. I mean, I may not be super religious either, but I feel a little saddened by you people picking on someone else who believes in Christ.

@SuperElementalCHAOS I do agree Jesus is real, but many people don't believe in God. So saying he's the son of God to prove he exists is irrelevant. Historical proof that he existed, though, is a good way.
