Merry Christmas 2011...I grew up with this song, by the late Great Otis Redding..my mom would play this song all the time...Merry Christmas to all..Peace
I just love this song so much. I had no idea that Otis had a song like this. This song is now my favorite Christmas song. Merry Christma Otis. I love you!
This song puts me in the Holiday Spirit! It's always playing at my parent's around Christmas. I have visions of my mom cooking and my dad chopping up all the veges and making the greens! I can't wait....happy holidays to all
When I hear this, it brings back such happy, but now sad memories. This was one of my father's favorite Christmas songs. It reminds me so much of being a little girl and watching all of the happiness and activities in our home on Christmas morning. It was tradition that we open presents at 12:00am. Daddy could never wait to see the joy on our faces.
I will never forget the day we found out he was killed tragically in that plane crash. It makes me wonder why so many, staring with the Big Bopper and ending with Allyah, perished that way. I still miss them all. Mr. Redding was so 'one-of-a-kind'. Makes me a little teary to hear him.
In my quest to try to find out more and more about Otis and his music I just keep coming across all of these beautiful songs that he did without ever hearing them before. This one is truly beautiful. My favorite Christmas song for the rest of my life. I was only 2 years old when Otis was taken from us all, but now that I have grown up and can understand and appreciate all that this man did for us musically I will always cheerish ever piece of music that Otis did.
@HippieNiecey Mr. Redding was something. I saw him in person at the Regal Theater in Chicago. Awesome guy. His wife and daughter were on television a couple years back. Totally devoted still. Yes, he is someone to know more about. Still miss the man!
Otis and XMAS songs !!!!!!!! Only thing missing is my girl and a glass of whisky to make this right becuse I am rocking this in my office right now MERRY XMAS from Los Angeles Ca.
What I like about christmas, is that it brings the best out of people. Everyone is nice and seem happy. No matter how broke I am or how hard times get Christmas makes me feel good. And the songs just do something to me.
Once upon a time, when black homes were led by Black Fathers... My mother was in MAJOR CHARGE OF HER KITCHEN and home with my father MANNING-UP the whole house. lol What beautiful harmony to see. While watching it all, music like this played in the background.
My father played this song on the record player every Christmas holiday season. I missed those old time holiday traditions so much that I had to go purchase another record and casette player so we bring back those good old days and good times.
@87DiscoGirl I feel you. I have a special section of my Christmas music that is taken directly from my childhood. Puts the whole season in a different light for me......
My, My, My,,,,,what memories this brings back to me......if i could turn back time,,,i would find this playing on the record player,,,mother in the kitchen cooking Christmas dinner and daddy dancing while sneaking up behind her to steal a kiss.....good times....
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE, THIS SONG. wHEN YOU HEAR IT, YOU CHRISTMAS IS HERE!! IT WARMS MY HEART & SOUL & TAKES ME BACK TO WHEN I WAS A CHILD. GREAT MEMORIES :)
umm growing up in the mid seventies..parentis playing otis in the background..christimas tree..lights in the window..presents..good smelling food...telephone ringing wishing you a merry christimas....lmao.....what you know bout that.....no blackberry or text msgs ...you had to call if the line was bus call back..lmao
