Jim Reeves - Christmas Alone

The poor quality of the sound seems to add to the message of the photographs I've added to this rare Reeves recording. (A demo?)

i hate to be reminded

@mikesr7 Me to, but, sadly, we all to often need such a reminder of how lucky some of us are. Merry Christmas anyway.

Thank you for putting together this video and sharing. I'm very blessed that this Christmas I'll not be facing eviction and homelessness (last year). Although stranded, and will probably spend at least most of Christmas alone, I do have a place to live that is warm and safe! I am very thankful and humbled, my heart truly goes out to those that do not have. Ahumdeallah! Thanks be to God! Merry Christmas everyone!

What does allah have to do with Christmas?

[ilrmbru2b]

You are never alone. It is no secret what GOD can do. Merry Christmas to all!

Although grateful of everything I have, the pressure that society puts on people who are alone is terrible. It's like being single on Valentines Day. All around there are songs and advertisements saying 'its a time when family and friends get together and celebrate', but not everyone has family or friends to celebrate with.

So, please, keep us lonely souls in mind as you celebrate the holiday season with the people you love.

I wish more artists and entertainers today regardless or music genre can write more Christmas songs like this to strike social consciousness for thoses living in poverty, rather than sensless nonsense. Merry Christmas.

LET THIS REMIND US OF HOW BLESSED WE ARE !

@ktomlinson01 You make a great point - there are actually worse things than simply being alone on the holidays.  If we have something to eat, a warm place to sleep, and running water, we have plenty to be grateful for, because there are many who don't even have the basics.
