[RMLong1973]

no offense but I prefer Roger Miller singing this.

[donkeylongears]

@RMLong1973 He is Alan a Dale after all. Lol, Roger does have a nice voice though

[ptduncan]

Is this on DVD?

[donkeylongears]

The special itself, yes. It's in the warner bros. christmas compilations and the "The year without a Santa Claus" dvd.

The video is not sadly

[ptduncan]

I wish that they would show this on TV again

[donkeylongears]

They do at abc F\family

[kylewardwell2008]

everytime i see this i fucking cry

[Cancrizans]

I loved this special so much when I was a child. If only it were easier for us to remember these simple lessons when we choose to pursue the greed all around us instead of what is pure.

This is my favourite Rankin/Basses movie

[youpumpertube]

Ahhh... Was Nestor one of the first donkeys with downs?

[joyceegriffin]

Never heard this before. Love it

[dennyolver2]

I still miss u Marty this is great!!!

[babygalstar1992]

@ptduncan me too love this

[ericwaffle31]

was that happy, the baby new year (from shiny new year) in this show lol at an angel up in the sky? i am assuming it was not, but that they used him (in here as the angel) again for shiny new year but as another character, baby new year. i find it funny that both shows are about one with big ears.

i just saw the tail end of this (no pun donkey) on abc family and was like - what is baby new year doing in this old video?

[happymimi16]

I love this 1

[cynsmiful]

[katphoti]

This is so wonderful! When I was in kindergarten, I had the solo when we sang this song in our Christmas program. I had completely forgotten about the animated show, too. Thanks for the memories!
