This Christmas Lyrics:
Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better
This Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together
This Christmas
Fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me
Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you
This Christmas
And as I look around
Your eyes outshine the town they do
This Christmas
Fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me, yeah
Shake a hand, shake a hand now
Emm, fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me, yeah
Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better
This Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together
This Christmas
Fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me
Merry Christmas
Shake a hand, shake a hand now
Wish your brother merry Christmas
All over the land, yeah
Merry Christmas
Merry, merry Christmas

There are a ton of remakes but theres nothing better than the original. ♥️💯

The original is the best. I like how Chris Brown sung this but he or nobody else can do it like Donny.

One of the best. There are many who don't even know about Donny Hathaway except for this song. This Christmas! But I know about Donny Hathaway. And I'm grateful to have grown up in the time of real soul music!

As someone that can’t stand the norm of Christmas tunes...this is one that will always actually make me feel festive.
AFTER OVER 50 YEARS, THAT SONG STILL SOUNDS GOOD! I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL! NOBODY CAN DO IT BETTER THAN DONNY! REST IN PEACE!
Listening to this right now and it is my favorite version of this song!! Merry Christmas all!🎄❤️
Even if you don't celebrate Christmas you have to admit this is one of top 3 Christmas songs of all time.
Definitely top 10!!!
I just heard this soulful song for the first time this morning and this gem immediately skyrocketed in my top 3 favorite Christmas song list🚀
Lmao I’m Muslim and love this song.
The Original and Still The Best Version ever No other comes close ! Donny Hathaway's Beautiful Voice is like Silk. He's looking down from Heaven and Smiling R.I.P.
Was he looking up to heaven when he jumped out the window?
Yes
I agree! No one does this song better! Beautiful happy classic!🎄❤
I don't celebrate holidays but this song I love it so much
You have not heard or seen Frankie Zulferino.
He did a music video
It is the best one
On RUclips and Instagram @fjZulferino
Donny Hathaway deserves to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
I second that...
Yes long overdue!!
Absolutely!!
I don't understand how he's not. Makes no sense.

Thanks to all who joined us for the premiere! We hope you love the new video as much as we do. Happy holidays 🎺🎄🌟
How about an animated movie...
@@angelicashobby Great Idea!!!
You did a good job: The details are all there: Donny's LaSalle Towers apartment, the festive Michigan Avenue/ Rush Street vibe and the storefronts/gyms with song titles of Donny's songs
I would love to see more animated videos
This was beautifully done and it recognized his musical contribution to the world! The world is better for having heard his voice his influence is far reaching! He needs to be a special inductee in my honest opinion!
Donny Hathaway's voice is timeless. This song is a must, the day after Thanksgiving.
Amen to that
Just don't mention Thanksgiving to the Indigenous Americans...
This song is a must any and every day of the year
Shit. All year. 😂. So good.
Listening right now on thanksgiving lol.
This is the only version that I will intentionally listen to
Is it just me or I don't feel as if it's Christmas until I hear this version of this song.
Yep me too 👍🏿
Yes, I have to hear it in the car !!
This brought tears to my eyes.
Hey I'm cutting an onion, that's why it brought tears to my eyes!
Same.
Raining in my eyes too. 🎶💜
I thought I was the only one..lol😌😊
Yup!
This version is the warmest. Gives such a nostalgic feel. That was so cute.
Only one Donny RIP
In 2022 this man still blesses us, thank the Lord you gave us your voice 💚
Praise the Lord!!

The genius of Donny Hathaway
It is such a shame that he never did an entire Christmas album. 😢 One of the best and beautiful voices in all of history!
I love how they paid a beautiful tribute to Hathaway especially with having his daughters and widow involved in the video. Shows real authenticity of this beautiful song. It’s so sad that he lost his life so young. He really was a talented singer !
Mental illness doesn't discriminate
Right! That part was so cute to me. 😢 rip Donny Hathaway.
And piano player! My God!
Christmas is not complete without playing this song!!!! Donny Hathaway should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!!!! His catalog of music is TIMELESS AND CLASSIC!!!!🎄🎄🎄🤶🏾🤶🏾🤶🏾🎅🏾🎅🏾🎅🏾❤❤❤
Thank you Donny for giving the world this beautiful and soulful Christmas song RIP a legend.
A great tribute to Donny Hathaway on the 50th anniversary. This song was released December 9, 1970.
Donny’s voice is just amazing. One of the best singers of all time!
So glad we didn't lose Donny Hathaway before he wrote and recorded this. What a gift to the world. And at Christmas time. Rest in Heaven Donny.
🎅🏾 This vid is LOOOONG overdue! Christmas tunes r not complete without this classic! 🎄⛄
This was incredibly beautiful. i had a good cry. It brought back memories of being a little black girl with my parents at Christmas. I miss my parents , I miss those days of excitement and wonder.
Kudos to the artist and the details.
So Beautiful❤❤❤
Love this song. The soul really hits.
💯 🥰🎶
Best Christmas song, ever! ❤🎅🏿🎄
Jackson Christmas is good too. J-5
What a beautiful tribute to Donny Hathaway’s music. Fans of his will recognize the signs and references :)
Oh yes!!😊
December 2020. This song has been covered by so many in the industry but they just can't compare. The season does not begin until I hear this song. Rest in Peace, Donny. We miss you. Gone too soon.
I don’t know about y’all but it ain’t Christmas till I hear Donny Hathaway This Christmas and The Temptations Silent Night
Best Christmas song ever. No doubt. Amazing.
When I hear this...the Christmas Season is in full swing!
This song will never get old. And this video reminds me of Christmas in my home town chicago. Best Christmas ever . when my parents were alive and family was all around and well.
If you look close---you'll see all the Chicago landmarks: Donny's North Side LaSalle Aaprtment and the festivity of Rush Street and Michigan Avenue
@@sheldontaylor2002 yes i seen. Good memories
@@tanekamiller4989 don't forget the young lady who wrote this song is from here in Chicago.
@@darryljohnson4458 yes i heard that. I have actually seen an interview with the lady who wrote the song . its here on RUclips somewhere
❤️❤️❤️❤️
The BEST Christmas song EVER. You can listen to this in the middle of July and it will feel like Christmas! 🎄 THE ORGINAL will ALWAYS be the best version.. R.I.P Donny Hathaway
Especially with some nice subs to compliment the bass
Some songs should not even be remade This is one of them RIP DONNY One of a kind ♥️
Listening this day Dec 10 2022 it is now officially the Christmas season thank you Donny we will always remember and love you🌲🎁
You should do a remake of this tune Lalah Hathaway. I am sure You would make both your late Daddy & Roberta Flack proud!!
I'm fairly certain she did actually
You know what Lalah Hathaway could do every song her father ever did. And do it beautiful beautiful beautiful Justice because she has his tones and even more. But she won't maybe at some point later on in her career she might just just because but many who don't know Donny Hathaway will think they're her songs. But Lalah Hathaway you got your daddy's tones and even more!
She has though...
She has. There are several clips on RUclips of her performing this and other classics by her dad.
"This Christmas will be, very special for me.... shake your hands, shake your hands, shake your hands now...
This song has lasted when the man who sang it left us WAY too soon. This makes me happy.
Chills everytime I hear this version. No one has come close to Donny's version! Merry Christmas!
No one should even try!RIP DONNY You are missed ♥️
My all time favorite artist Donny Hathaway. His soulfulness is felt in every note and vocal inflection he sang. Hearing his music is heartwarming and holds a special place in my spirit that is comforting. Merry Christmas!
@Valerie I 100% agree!
This brings so much of an African American 70s feeling.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This track will out live/love all of us ❤️
Donny's timbre and velvety smooth delivery made every song he recorded great. I miss him so much.
Thanks for tuning into the premiere. Happy holidays! - Team Donny
I loved it! Merry Christmas to you all. Thank you for including my paw!
Your time is coming to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Uncle Donny.
This absolutely beautiful. ❤
Beautiful 💖 Team Donny all the way 👑🤴🏾🎤🎹🙌🏽🎄💯‼️
For me, the Best Christmas Song ever!
Now this should be the Christmas song to reach the charts every year
Every body want to remake this Xmas but Donny is the original maker let's remember this 🥰💕💕💕💕💕
My all time favorite Christmas song from a young teenager until now in my 50’s!!!❤❤l❤❤
Mine too...
This reminds me of "What if Fat Albert Gang met the Simpsons while going to SchoolHouseRock" style of animation.
It reminded me a little bit of “Bob’s Burgers”
This animation is absolutely beautiful. Perfection.
Yup!!!
God please make someone make this into a show!
The Channel Universal Black Temple sent me here
Hands down this will always be my favorite holiday song. So happy to see it set to video now.
I absolutely love this animated music video. It is a fantastic tribute to Mr. Hathaway and his family. I love the video captures the magic of the song and the season.
This a perfect song... Not just a perfect Christmas song, but a perfect song all around...
This is so Chicago... I'm in love.
Yes it is i'm actually in tears watching this 😢😢😢
Makes ME think of MY Illinois hometown of Peoria at Christmas too.
Yes ! My husband’s favorite. Grew up there
This video is an absolute beautiful tribute to Donny's memory. Merry Christmas 🎄
Yes it is💙👑💙

One of the most Vibin’! Christmas songs ever produced.
Outstanding!!! I'm in tears! The memories are flooding my brain
Me too,
Same.
This Christmas by Donny Hathaway and Last Christmas by Wham! Are the TWO Christmas standards whose remakes will never touch! R.I.P. Donny Hathaway and George Michael.
Agreed 🤗 Two of the very best 💯 No need for remakes, ain't nothing like the real thing 💖
Can't disagree with that - my 2 fave Chistmas songs along with Paul McCartney's 'Wonderful Christmastime'
WHAM?????
@@turkeywad Yep, The 80's Pop Duo led by the late, great George Michael, who best tune was "Careless Whisper."
@@HoneyHoneyBaby You betcha!
Legendary song and artist
This song brings joy to my heart everytime I hear it. 👼🏾
I love how to stores and buildings pay tribute to all his music in the video.
'Harold's Chicken Shack' made me giggle
Probably my favorite Holiday Song of Alltime...
This Holiday Masterpiece has blessed my family immeasurably over the years and is part of our Christmas tradition!! My dearly departed brother came home with Donny's 45 record & literally changed our lives for the better! God bless you, Layla, and may Donny & my brother continue to rest in heavenly peace & power. 🥰🙏🏽🕊🎄🎅🏾🤶🏿🎁
I love how his whole career and life is in this video
How can you not love this one?! Even though i'm not an American and way too young to have experienced Donny when he was around i still love this song!!
Rest In Peace Uncle Donny
He's not your uncle 🙄
This Christmas Donny Hathaway always a favorite Christmas song we miss you Donny
Hands down, one of greatest Christmas songs ever made, thanks to the genius of Donny Hathaway. It's not officially Christmas time until you hear Donny. And that melodic horn break...Donny all the way. God Bless.😇🎄🙏💎
I love how this animation included reference from the “Everything is Everything” album cover @ the 1:13 mark :-)
This video has that 70’s vibe when I was growing up... 🔥🔥
Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄
It's time to celebrate Jesus and the season of giving and good cheer!!!!!
SING Legend, RIP Donnie Hathaway. It's one of my top all-time favorite Christmas songs ever.
This is my absolute favorite Christmas song!! It doesn't have to be Christmas for me to listen to it! As a native Chicagoan, I appreciate the Chicago scenes. Chicago is proud of Donnie! RIH Donnie.
I been tired of Christmas music for some years now. It only brings to mind crazy shopping sprees. This was really nice. Made me feel the joy of the holiday again. Thank you!
This year, I didn't listen to Christmas songs as much as in the past years, I think because I'm so done with this year. But this song makes me more calm and this is one of my favorite Christmas song. This is one of the best Christmas songs I've ever heard
Elgg… yes!!!!!
I'm 54 years old. When I was young, this song, wS considered a black Xmas song, but over the years, this song, have gotten bigger, and better, that it has crossed over, and everyone, seems to love it. Thanks Donny.
Love this! Especially the Chicago-related references.
No one, and I mean NO ONE can sing this song like DONNY HATHAWAY! Now, it's CHRISTMAS!🌲🌲🌲
Chris brown can 😅
@taviadagoat1754 I agree. Chris brown was the perfect person to redo it because their vocals are similar.
This song has so many memories attached to it. My dad (RIP) would play this song every Christmas morning when I was a kid back in the mid-80's. We lived on the South Side of Chicago at the time. The cartoon is beautiful. I miss my dad. :(
Playing this in class tomorrow to kick off Christmas! This is how you start the season!
This is the best Christmas song ever, and I will shake the hand of anyone who says it is not.
Let It Snow is greatest Christmas song. This is 2nd
This is #1!
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT 🖤🖤🖤
*low five*
There are Not enough words to express how much I LOVE this video. (Stevie has not wrote them & Smokey has not sung them) Thank You Thank You Thank You
My 2 year daughter and 1 year son can't get enough of this video. They are both trying to sing it! I can't explain how much it warms my heart. Merry Christmas Everyone!!
3:33 The baby is so excited to see daddy :)
Donny Hathaway is one of the few gifted black singers that I know he is number one for this Christmas nobody else can sing it like him then come to temptations on they silent night props gone too soon bro
Christmas just not Christmas without hearing this song
Damn, getting all teary now! This is and will always be the song of the season
The greatest Christmas record in the history of the universe bar none
The horns, the electric piano, Donny’s voice, the sentiments …. brilliant
When you hear Donny Hathaway singing that song, the spirit of Christmas flows all around.
Gone but not forgotten. His music will live on forever. G-d bless his spirit.
This is THE Christmas song, and it’s not up for debate. It’s Donny, and then the rest
The bass line on this song is genius. Who would come up with anything like that nowadays?!
I love it. This is one of my favorite songs by the late, great Donny. Not everyone can (nor should) sing any of Donny's songs.
Merry Christmas! 🌲🌲🌲❄️❄️❄️☃️☃️☃️⛄⛄⛄
The best Christmas song EVER.
Agreed
💯💯💯💯💯💯
Best Christmas Sing Ever....BLACK By Popular Demand ✊🏾
So much talent. I wish he could have gotten the help that he needed. Such a sad story. God bless.
Merry Christmas Donny Hathaway! Thank you so very much for this song. It is not Christmas without this, Nat King Cole's the Christmas Song, George Michael's Last Christmas, Bing Crosby's White Christmas and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas sung by Judy Garland! I am sure there are more, but these are my favorites and they do it for me!
After meeting the incomparable author and writer of this song Ms Nadine McKinnor along with Donnie Hathaway astonishing vocals on the mic 🎤 I can really enjoy listening 🎧 to this song year after year 🌲 🌲
My all time favorite Christmas song
