I wish it was still Christmas :(

Thumbs up if Mr. Chi City brought you here!

[Nerdbama]

So I think about what I said about "mizzyazoo's" comment and decide maybe I was harsh cause we're all entitled to our own opinion right? Then I go to her page only to see that it's covered with chris brown everything from the profile pic to her saying she's "TEAMBREEZY".smh.So now her comment is biased cause although donny owns this song she was gonna pick chris regardless which means she's trolling this video and to me that's disrespectful.not to hate on chris,but be serious.It's not even close

[Nerdbama]

@mizzyazoo SMFH..How old are like 12 or 13? Chris browns version better than this? Chris couldn't hold a candle to donny hathaway on his worst day(which he had none), but for you to say you think his is better has to be one of the stupdiest things i've ever heard..Go post that junk on chris browns video, but don't bring it over here....

[MegaRomae]

this song is a good song to play on Christmas time, big up to Donny 'he done a good job

[tiffdaboss22]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[ElswordxSonic]

did anyone notice sonic, shadow, silver, pickachu, anime harry potter, a whole bunch of pokemon by a chrismas tree, santa on a viper rollercoaster, and most of all... PRESENTS!!!!!!

[MsFarzee]

This song is an awesome Christmas classic and I don 't give a crap about Chris Brown's cover he was just paying tribute to the iconic, smooth and soulful Donny Hathaway!

[mizzyazoo]

im so sorry people But i loved chris brown's version a teensy bit better.

[56DOBO]

Addictive music...love it loveit.....

[kitkatism1]

Gotta love it... It didn't really matter what the video showed, just to hear Donny Hathaway sing this song was enough to make me happy.

[TheBulletDodgingMan]

This was officially the WORST Christmas ever! and here's why, first we couldn't afford a real Christmas tree so my son had to get some filthy shoe sized fake one out our neighbors trash, my step-dad drank all the eggnog, some douchebag spray painted Nazi symbols all over my house, than some asshole stole my fucking MAILBOX, than my cousin drove by(With the car he stole from me last month) and dropped a box full of used condoms(Half of them probably aren't even his!)so yeah, WORST.CHRISTMAS.EVER!

[Kellogs43able]

happy xmas, everybody :-)

[mybabys8486]

the greatest holiday song he was the man........

[JMRabil675]

MC

[21BJay]

I know people say this on every youtube video, but seriously, how the hell does this song have dislikes? It should automatically be disabled for this song.

[yoaveragedude]

I like to give a Bday S/0 to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

[blackice445]

This is so much better than the chris brown version.

[solesirching73]

Don't forget the Whispers - they did an excellent job as well

[Bassplayershadow2023]

Hey Chris Brown, DO NOT TRY TO SING THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONLY TWO PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO SING IT, THE WRITER, DONNY HATHAWAY and Dennis Edwards and the Temptations version. You are not old enough to understand what it takes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lawrence9333]

I have always loved this song, from the first time I heard it many years ago!!!

[lovelylilbear]

merry Christmas to everyone!!!

[ny365]

I think this may be the only Christmas song that I actually like (and only when sung by Donny Hathaway)

[Analisa416]

Christmas season doesn't start for me until i hear this...my fave christmas song

[krystalstarr29]

My favorite Xmas song ever!

[Coccogurl123]

Classic track

[revharriet]

"This Christmas" is one of my favorite songs. I love this video. I am sharing it. Merry Christmas!

[MrSuky22]

This is such a great Christmas song by a very Talented artist Donny! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone all over the world. :-)

[meterman432110]

was this made in 1970

[1987macster07]

Such a tune!

Check out my attempt i've just uploaded: watch?v=FVNJWYk-2bo

[MrsMindless143love]

<333333 Originals are ALWAYS the best.

[Cooperblu]

The best one to me

[zzyyxxo]

I just love his voice and spirit. I miss him always.

[Shell0517nj]

when a song is covered by another artist it pays homage to the artist. most Christmas songs are classics and are kept alive by being passed along by each generation. I have the original by Donny and chris did a terrific cover. Merry Christmas!

[LOvEEmBee]

I lOVE thss SONG . Alwaays put me in THE HOliDAY SPIRIT .!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE . HAVE A WONDERFUL ONE .

[cocolyn1950]

always love this song......so beautiful......make me want to bring some snow to the bahamas!!! heheheheh

[Bizarronumber4]

Beautiful!

[TheRiobezerko]

Fantastic song that I am glad is up on youtube.

Now...can someone please put it up with a decent video instead of this ridiculous nonsense I just watched???

[LoganMulti12]

@TheRiobezerko You just want a white version and don't like the black version don't ya!!??

[TheRiobezerko]

@LoganMulti12 What? First of all...just...no. I am Black, and think the song is fantastic. I love Donnie Hathaway, and this is one of my top three favorite Christmas songs. Like I stated, I just don't like the VIDEO. Try and pay better attention while reading before you respond next time, son.

[LoganMulti12]

@TheRiobezerko Ok

[Masrex]

@TheRiobezerko I find it pretty festive :)

[KharismaBrown]

@Masrex. Me too! Love it! 

[Azzizps1]

i just wish this Christmas some one will just let Donny Hathaway play and not the bullshit compilers whom wish to post on this media and and i know the stupid people will not read this

and those whom are evil will do something to counter my statement

[illagen1]

On point

[suzylizette]

This man sings like an angel!! I LOVE this song!! I just discovered it through David Archuleta when he sang it at his concert. David does a mighty fine job too!

[TheSugarl]

This song is my absolute FAVORITE Christmas song! Thanx so much 4 posting & 4 the fantastic vid u've created 4 it ;) <3

[Lakerzrell]

I Agree lleno22

[lleno22]

The Christmas season doesn't start until Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas" is played on the radio. It is so sad that this amazingly talented man did not live a long, happy life.

[flatbush46]

@lleno22 you know i get mixed emotions when i hear this song...you know that his music is real,comes from the heart but yet i think about his tragic death.. And you know that he loved the lord from of his songs... One time they played this in church and a tear came to my eye thinking about the genius of donny hathaway and the conflicts that were taking place in his life..

[ZombiesFan95]

Like this song.

[samarvem]

Donny you were great,bless your soul

[counselor2b]

I wonder if Donny did an entire Christmas album?

[Ryan93Lion]

Just did my own video of this song! Everyone PLEASE go check it out!

[prettygirl2936]

THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS SONG WHEN I WAS A KID AND IT STILL IS NOW THAT IM GROWN

[Naissa24]

I love this song as much as I love the movie!

[msddizzle]

It doesn't even really feel like Christmas until I hear this song

[FluffMaster101]

My love for the holidays and the Bernie Mac show told me to come here.

[nema1218]

Great song,a Christmas classic!

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays 2011 everyone!

Happy New Year's 2012!

[bourgeoisbrats]

Thumbs up if you think sometimes people just like "complaining 'bout" stuff, just to hear themselves do it :-) Merry Christmas ThesupermasterN!

[662chillin]

I don't think it can be Christmas without "This Christmas" and "Silent Night" playing.

[merlLH10]

i love this song

[rock858965]

am playing this song with the snare

[ThesupermasterN]

I always will love this song. But the thing i noticed about this video is that there was a bunch of random Christmas things that didn't make since. Thumbs up if you think the creater of this video just slaped a bunch of random christmas things on the video.

[caliken10]

It's not the holidays until I hear this!

[Masrex]

Hey guys if I hit one thousand subs by this month I'll do a new piano cover, any suggestions? (I know the songs in my video response aren't that good but the more recent music is better haha xD)

[martinobritt97]

im only 12 but i love this song

[elektraeriseros]

Best version of this song. Right here~

[MrsKShell]

Donny Hathaway!! He is THIS CHRISTMAS!! My Favorite Christmas song of all time!!! LOVE IT!!

[mickey24630]

[musiclover71500]

[false7sab]

IMO this song will ALWAYS be Donny Hathaway's!!!! R.I.P. Donny

[reece1239]

This is the best Christmas song ever period point blank!

[quintonshubert]

@reece1239 yea this then silent night

[bootes53]

Sorry, the best version of this is Boney James's. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have a youtube video of it, though other things from the same album do.

[smokin4life1]

I effin love Christmas!!!!

[Michael5017mj]

get ready for THIS CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

[bigwizzle45]

I have the piano at 2:23. My son loves it.

[Basketballer245]

Listen to the song and quit trying to be smart asses.

[Basketballer245]

All you need to shut the fuck up with your comments it's clear you all are attention deprived.

[intellectualxx1]

Who is Chris Brown? Not Donny!

[Kattywampus]

I was gonna just put this on in the background, but you had the most random assortment of imagery in this video, I had to stop what I was doing so I could absorb it all. (Loved the Pokemon, btw)

[birdatplay]

big chune!!

[its0a0new0day]

@birdatplay Real Big chune!! Pull up!

[birdatplay]

@its0a0new0day lift up n rewind yuh seet seh nuttin.

[0806stella]

2011 What a Great year for so much cheer!!!!

[0806stella]

Great Holiday...Christmas Cheer!!!

[6ull3tpr00f]

chris brown remake! (FAIL)

[ERICROBILLARD1]

nice ^_^

[ERICROBILLARD1]

good music!!

[mrt0724]

Donny Hathaway had such a great voice. And this is coming from a hard rock fan . This is a fact, among his big fans is none other then David Coverdale of Whitesnake and Deep Purple fame.

[mybocks3]

So I type in "This Christmas" and Chris Brown's version is the first up?! Are you serious? He didn't even deserve to sing this damn song. Some SHlT you just can't remake.

[brianboru62]

@mybocks3 Whats worse is x factor leeches ripping off a legend and getting higher rating on you tube for same friggin song.NO MORE FAKE WANNABEES TRYING AND FAILING TO SING 'A SONG FOR YOU!!!!!! YA CANT DO IT ,NEVER WILL .Frank McComb(hes excellent) does and amazing effort but just cant OUTDONNY A DONNY SONG

[jma10241]

@mybocks3 so you are saying this is shit why are you on here then

[ColorMeIn]

@mybocks3 Did you really just go out of your way to say that? Shut up and enjoy the song.

[TruthSerum101]

@mybocks3 Chris starred in a movie called This Christmas. It made perfect sense for him to sing the song for the soundtrack. What's wrong with teenager (he was one at the time) helping to keep older music alive? Sheesh.

[Nerdbama]

@mybocks3 I don't mind chris showing respect and singing the song, but I agree that donnys name should pop up first not chris browns...

[mygirlruth]

@mybocks3

I think it's the way it's worded. PEOPLE just type in Donny Hathaway THIS CHRISTMAS, which you should be doing anyway if your old school like me.

[Neokusanagisan]

@mybocks3 jesus christ! why bitch at something you have no control over. You can't change people. Let it be. I don't particularly like Chris Brown either, but he did a wonderful job I think on that song.

[Truckair7]

@mybocks3 True...So true!

[Shell0517nj]

@mybocks3 such christmas spirit.

[thetruth86n]

26 people are the grinch

[TraedpoD]

Hey guys! If you're tired of raping the replay button like me, typ "repeat" after the "youtube" in your address bar! Enjoy and Merry Christmas! =)

[trunuyorker7]

What a song!!!

[Ariel33m]

No other version compares to the classic just saying.

[chandrahazelwood]

I love this song so much, I would bump it in the summer!

Milwaukee, WI

[bolts55]

you know he's dead right? prolly why you could not find him. best singer ever tho.

[poohkrissy]

This is my FAVORITE Christmas song!!

[1234567890alea]

i think this christmas will be special

[1234567890alea]

[856CYCLONE]

[sweetiepie1018]

This is my favorite Christmas song, especially sung by Donny Hathaway.

[srbowm75]

Thank you Donny...

[HM2028]

[belfairhaines]

@HM2028 YOU ARE SO RIGHT!

[Cbrown051]

I love Alexander's O'Neal's "My Gift to You" as well. A magnificent christmas song.

[24ohmy]

@Cbrown051 I forgot about his Christmas album. Thanks for the reminder!
