despite the fact that I'm not christian and consider religion only as some sort of useless-expensive-fake-self inducted consciousness (no offense for the believers) I think this is simply a masterpiece, I am literally speechless every time.
why do ppl get defensive about religion? and blame aggression on religion. The main teachings and only teachings of religion, especially judaism, christianity and islam and only to do well, be righteous, dont hurt others
I didnt realize that there was a holy war going on with these comments..... HAHA.... if you gotta fight about religion.... then you are ignorant... I dont care if you believe in the roman gods or a rock.... its your belief. I dont think anyone else should either..... If you believe you are on the right path then keep going on that path.
Very Christian attitudes you're all displaying in the comments section down there. Christ would be ashamed of your hatred and contempt for your fellow man. >_>
Back to the song, I've always thought this particular version was very beautiful, even as a child. Movie itself is pretty awful outside of a few scenes, though. XD
I don't believe there are TRUE athiests. If they are staring death in the face, I have to think they are talking to someone and not that they are just going to die and fade away.
This is my favorite Christmas song of all time, every year I listen to it religiously not just for the magical music but the lyrics as well. So beautiful. Such the perfect song to convey the true meaning of Christmas.
@Pinter333 Yes but the difference is Christians believe they are trying to save "the lost". An atheist doesn't believe in shit, and doesn't believe anyone has to answer to a supreme being when we die. Why would they even care what other people believe? If I were an atheist I wouldn't give a rats-ass what other people believe because it doesn't effect me. When we die nothing happens. We slip into nothingness. I wouldn't have to explain or justify my beliefs to anyone. I could frankly care less.
@NATVSON1 I don't want to get into a debate but atheists who are vocal about it don't do so purely for the sake of it. Beliefs affect actions, actions affect the world- including the atheists. Of course they'd speak about it; who wouldn't in the same position?
@Gaawachan Think about it for a second. If you're an Atheist, WHO are you saving and from what? Nothing happens when you die so what a person believes in is irrelevant. When a Christian is sharing the Gospel with people it's because they truly in their hearts believe that they are trying to save that person from the danger of eternal torment. If I were an Atheist and a Christian tried to convert me I would just laugh. I wouldn't try and convince them that they're wrong. Why would I care?
R.I.P. Roberts Blossom. One of the most touching scenes of the film when Kevin realizes Marley is not a scary old man: "You can be too old for a lot of things, but you're never too old to be afraid."
Christmas [Christ] is about our heavenly father, his birth into flesh , as he gave the greatest love of all, his love, his death, his rise, his relationship with us....
this always reminds me of the part when kevin sat in the church, he was firstly afraid of that stranger guy but then he got to know him and said his grand daughter is singing in the choir
I've heard many versions of this song, and to date this one remains my favorite. Home Alone was more than great 1-liners, great cast, great plot, and fun, it was also great music too, IMO.
@witchcraftlord Who the fuck believes in that wiccan gay shit anyways. Who the hell worships the moon. What a cock toucher. But like 19t0Ny91 said, "GOD is Forgiving".
@witchcraftlord Okay, i don't know who the fuck you are, but I really think that you have a problem. And you need to stop forcing your opinionated bullshit on a youtube comment box. This is a christian song, from a movie based apon a christian holiday. And unless you want to start another crusade, i suggest you get your thumb out of your ass and leave this discussion, cuz your gonna loose.

@witchcraftlord pagan is about the most useless 'religion' i can think of. And of course Christianity is man made, all religions are man made. God didn't create the religion. And another thing, 'O Holy Night' is a Christmas song about Jesus's birth. So don't you fucking dare say that christmas is some creepy voodoo ceremony that a bunch of witches came up with. and you don't win. jackass.
well obivioulsy you have no life if your trying to testify my religion, but don't you dare say that it was made up. The most retarded religion is pagan. I mean seriously? Magic? No such thing. And i don't think your one to talk about self-embarassment. 99% of people who are watching this video are some of my fellow Christians, and they would agree with me (as some others did below). did you post your comment to pick a fight? cuz that's what you just did. oh, your a looser btw.
@witchcraftlord I'm not christian and I do think that some christians have lost the original vision, as have most religions. I don't assign myself to any religion, just have respect for the bible and I do believe in Jesus , seeing as he was a real man, what's not to believe (not saying you should agree, just saying my opinion). And, not going to dignify the last past with an answer.
@witchcraftlord Well that's your belief and opinion and that's fine, mine is different, but neither of us really know it all, so it's no use debating it.
agreed....but for some reason on christmas eave i hear this song and look upwards and feel ............sad...happy... all at once...i dont understand.........
Thank you for posting. The TV version ALWAYS cuts it short; it's supposed to have Kevin outside the church at the beginning, with the choir muffled. Then at 0:50, when he walks in, it's at full sound. They cut a lot of that beginning out, though........
I should have thought to look on YT for this a long time ago. Thank you for the excellent post-
yea christmas has went to shit since the new millenium started its all about gift cards and stress....this song reminds me of a simpler time when it was about getting together and celebrating the birth of christ...lol...here i am sounding old meanwhile only 23...MERRY CHRISTMAS to all and a happy new year
It's only as stressful as you make it. My family isn't religious, but we have a wonderful time each christmas. It's about love and giving.
I'm an athiest, and I don't celebrate christmas for christ, it's a time of love for me nonetheless. I spent £3 on my mum for a photoframe and an old picture with a simple letter that brought tears to her eyes.
You might not feel the same magic as the "good old days", but the magic is still there if you allow yourself to feel it.
