I am Jewish but I choke up whenI hear this beautiful, evocative tune so beautifully sung by Johnny Mathis. I think of when my mother would take me to NYC where we would have lunch at Chock Full of Nuts and then look at the store windows and the displays. It was a better time back then. We all were struck by Christmas time in the city. Yes, my family celebrated Hannukah but we appreaciated that it was Christmas time, not "holiday" time in the city and those days were magical to me.
When ever im in Philly or NYC i turn on this song and no matter how cold it is, i always roll down my windows in the car to see the beautiful lights and to get into the spirit of Christmas! <3 i love the city during christmas time <3
hey! I am 18 and I still have that feeling that I had when I was a little girl! My favorite part is sitting in front of my fireplace drinking hot cocoa and listening to christmas music while decorating my tree! I am from a small town in WA called Gig Harbor and I love the christmasy feeling I get there! where are you from? does it snow where you are from?
I used to live in AZ and I hated it! It did not feel like Christmas at all! I have lived in WA for 16 years and even though it rains alot I still love it! Christmas time is something I look forward to every year! When I lived in AZ it was 80 degrees the day we got our christmas tree and it did not feel like Christmas at all especially when you are used to cold snowy windy christmases the way it should be! how long have you lived in AZ?
@leeleechristmaslover LOL!! How cute. I'm a huge Christmas fan myself -- I understand! You know, a lot of people feel sad at Christmas, like they can't feel the joy they felt as children, so Christmas feels empty to them. You and I are two of the fortunate ones -- we still know that joy, and I feel it's very important to share that gift with others. Sometimes all it takes is that one person who's got the spirit, that one person who brings the joy and wonder of Christmas back.
it isnt christmas without johnny! :)

It's scary how much I LOVE Christmas! I'm 17, but I'll probably be one of those old ladies whose Christmas decorations are up 365 days a year! Haha

Johnny Mathis is one of the true classics. Too bad we're overrun with Britneys and Mileys and Taylors today, Johnny was a REAL talent.
