They took a classic Christmas song and JAZZED it up. Excellent rendition, one of my favorite Christmas song.

According to the slate, this video was released 17 years ago today! What a great version, in my opinion.

@maj1216 This isn't about including other faiths (notwithstanding that we recognize Haunakah and Kwaanza this time of year, anyway). It's about crybaby atheists and skeptics, trying to whitewash this country's Judeo-Christian heritage from history.

Christmas is a FEDERAL HOLIDAY, and its constitutionality has been upheld in court. So, we can have Nativity in the public square during this season. Our kids can sing song that actually mention CHRIST (like this one) in public schools.

@maj1216 Atheists pull this crap every year. Ask the folks in Henderson, TX or Pitman, NJ if this is "faux ideology". As usual, some poor little atheist gets his feelings hurt by a Nativity scene and cries more than the baby Jesus actually did two millenia ago.

Groups like Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) target small towns and try beating them with legal fees, to get them to capitulate. But, usually when folks like ADF or Liberty Counsel show up, FFRF backs down or loses in court.

merry christmas to all,even those on the other side peace.

[moluv72]

The best version hands down. I miss videos back in the 90's that were like this one..in black in white....Classic!!

[birdatplay]

yes indeed...this version will do.

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

I don't need to know any other version, this one does it for me.

[maj1216]

(cont'd) but as Christians, what harm is there in including all faiths into your salutation by not excluding them by screaming that it's all about your holiday. All the talk of the decorations and the trees being Christmas 'this' and Christmas 'that' makes Christians look bad. Why? B/c the many of the symbols (the tree, the yule log, etc) are actually pagan symbols and our holiday was/is a pagan holiday. Just look it up, it's not a bad thing, just stop pretending it's exclusively yours.

[maj1216]

Saying 'Happy Holidays' doesn't just mean political correctness. This faux ideology that there's some 'war on Christmas' and that they're trying to take 'Christ out of Christmas' has gone overboard for the past 7 or so years, thanks to Fox News. It used to be so innocent to just wish someone a Happy Holidays, because it meant you were wishing them a joyful season that included Christmas and New Years for those whom were of the Christian faith.

[SteadiStick]

@peacheslovesjesus Yeah. I've got no problem with Chanukah or Kwanza. I'd prefer you wished me a Merry Christmas and if that's not my holiday then just correct yourself and wish me that one. These stores are so disingenuous. They say "Happy Holidays" to be politically correct but all of the decorations and music is Christmas.

[peacheslovesjesus]

Worlds greatest version of this song. Sometimes I'll listen to this in the summertime.
