I have been listening to this song for my entire life....had the record and played it all year long. Brings tears to my eyes just remembering why we celebrate the season and proud that I believe in the Lord!!
Dolly wrote this song. She is a True Christian ,no judging! What truly beautiful song for the season. She is a queen.You have more than earn you way to heaven , Ms. Parton.
@juntosaym Praise God, no one can or ever has to "earn" his or her way into Heaven. Salvation was the greatest gift ever given...it was given freely to all the world in the form of a baby born in a manger...a man born only to die so that all may be saved who A-accept that they are sinful, B-believe that He was who the Holy Bible says he was, and C-confess Him as their Lord and Savior!
@hannahmobrien I believe it was only done that way to show artistic flair. In my opinion it gives the dancers a more statue-like look. You don't see statues with actual hair colors. Hopefully this is a logical explanation to your original question

@bekah89500 relaaaax you don't need to get so defensive, I was just pointing out an unrealistic part of the show. The bible does not state what color hair they had but it does say they were young and I just don't know too many teenage couples with completely white hair.
@hannahmobrien Does it really matter? and who's to say they weren't gray? were you there when Jesus was born to be able to say what color their hair was? No, I believe you weren't and it doesn't state their hair color in the bible, so who cares what color they had their hair!
This has been and always will be my favortie Christmas song. There is something about it that is haunting and just touches you deep into your soul. Thank you Dolly for writing such a beautiful song.

@laceytony1 it is truth! Jesus this every day with us, and the other people also, gives its love us, we do not stop going to the church =) thanks to the virgin Mary
Takes me back to my childhood. I grew up listening to this record and watching this show every year! Too bad the networks don't play it anymore, maybe people would be reminded what christmas is all about.
@jeeperzr2 Christmas meaning is Universal. I'm not religious, but my family is Christian and I was raised around Christmas. I love the fact that even though I'm not "Christian" that I can still celebrate Christmas with my family because it is about family and love. :]
Thanks for posting all your "Christmas to Remember" videos. I remember viewing the program in the late 80's. I had forgotten how much I liked it. I like it so much that I just ordered the CD on Amazon. Would you happen to know where I can purchase the DVD of the actual program? If so, please let me know. Again, Thanks!! Merry Christmas :)
I was wondering the same thing.... where to purchase the DVD of the special. The is my all time christmas CD. I loved the special so much when I was younger that my mom bought my the cassette tape for Christmas that year. I would love to have the DVD!!!! Thank You!
i love this song. dolly does very good and kenny does too. it means something to kenny though. its not just singing another song. you can tell by his face
I remember seeing this special when it originally came on television and if I'm not mistaken, I seem to remember Dolly stating that she wrote this song.
RON HINDE, THANKS FOR BEING MY KING! I LOVE YOU SWEETHEART. I CAN NOT WAIT TO TELL YOU TO YOUR FACE SO SWEET AND PRECIOUS AND LOVING YOUR FACE IS! YOU ARE GEORGIOUS, OPPS/s{P
every year for the christmas pageant, the 8th graders do the liturgical dance to this song and its REALLLY beautiful, i just got back from the pageant. =)
I love how they turned this into a scene behind a scene show they sing in the church while the spirits rush around the room, thats how I see it anyway. Great song
I grew up in the caribbean..St.Vincent,and I remember my sister and I waiting with baited breaths for the movie every christmas eve and christmas night,it just wasn't christmas with out this movie..LOL..am now 35yo...I still loves the songs from the album..sang them more than once too...oh what memories
Okay I grew up in St. Vincent too, you remember that Greatest Gift of all song that they would play 10 times a day? Great times and great memories! I live in Canada now but heading home in 3 days for Vincy Christmas!
I've always been a sucker for Kenny Rogers' music since I was very little. Still one of my favorite Christmas movies. I have such vivid memories of watching this when I was a little kid. I remember being so excited when my parents got the record for me the following Christmas. I love listening to Kenny and Dolly singing together. Thank you so much for posting this.
This brings back so many memorys.I remember watching it when i was a little girl getting really excited about christmas. This song always sent chills down my spine and still does to this day. Im so glad that you have put it on hear as i did have this on video but its been so many years it got lost. Its just a shame that you cant get it on dvd.
crazysingingchick said it...I believe I was about the same age and for us to remember it so vividly is that it made a strong impact. I only recall watching it once or twice, but watching it now is just like it was looping in my head. I listen to the song every year, and it's even my ringtone for the entire month of December. Dolly Parton is a talent all her own...how many songwriters, let alone country music singer/songwriters can pull off such a grand performance? Only those 2 as I know
You HAVE to? I am sure you can't WAIT to perform this for the play, you are going to do awsome, it's a great story My opinion the ultimate Story. Wish I could see it, if you get a chance to get a video you should post. Merry Christmas to you and to All. Love is the only answer
Kenny Rogers is just the greatest singer ever; his spoken introduction at the start sets the tone for this great Christmas song. The vocal duet between Kenny and Dolly is superb. I like the way they harmonize on this track.
I haven't seen this since I was about maybe 9 or 10. That was back when they used to air this, back in the 80's. It must have really impacted me because watching it now, it is just as I always picture it in my mind. This song gives me chills already and the video just makes it better. Thanks for posting!
Oh wow my mom used to play this all the time when I was a kid when we would decorate the christmas tree, and this video is straight from there movie they have!!!!!!!
Regardless of your religious hang ups, be they faith or politically correct instincts, this song is intense. They could be singing about corn dogs, and it would give me chills.
the ones that witnessed this music are the luckiest people i will never...... being born to Canada there is not much chance of ever seeing dolly or kenny
I saw this show on tv a few years ago. I would love so much to have it on dvd or even video. I bought the cd but the tv show was fantastic. Do you know where I might buy it.
I can't but I would love to have the show on dvd or video. Did you find it anywhere and if so would you let me know how I might be able to get it. Marie.
We love it! Dolly needs to sing Mistletoe Kisses! This new, up-tempo country Christmas song is perfect for her! Do you agree??? She's awesome and would make Mistletoe Kisses awesome!
hey i was wondering if anyone knows if you can buy the video of kenny and dolly xmas special?!!? i've searched and can't find it!!!! my family used to have it on beta but the system is now broken and we can't watch it anymore!!! xmas isnt the same without the video!!!! even though when i hear the songs i know whats happening in the video!!thanks for posting!!!
Well as far as I know. Ive been looking for this myself. And what ive come up too, is that they never made a video nor a dvd for this. This will probably stay as a Tv special forever.
boo!!! do you know what channel it airs on cuz i've never seen it on tv aside from when my dad recoreded it back in the 80's! thanks for the reply though!
This movie brings back so many happy memorise to me. I finaly got a hold of a copy of this movie this year, and finaly christmas is going to be happy again!
I don't believe in God or that Jesus was God's son, but... I LOVE THIS SONG!!! Dolly's voice is perfect for this song!

Kenny is presenting his Christmas show across Canada this year.
Check kennyrogersDOTcom for locations and dates (I think they are mostly Western Canada).
Kenny has brought his Christmas Show to Ontario before.
Kenny performs in Canada several times a year.
I have seen him twice and know he has been in Calgary 3 other times (including Dolly)
Kenny has talked talked about doing less shows, so see him any chance you get.
Kenny has been recording/performing for over 50 years.
