Listening to this song on Christmas Day 2019 to help deal with having lost my husband five days ago at 36 to brain cancer... all I wanted was to hear this song to help my heart heal. And then I just happened to look at the upload date and it's the day we got married, same year and everything. I know he's with me today. Thank you for this.
I know what you mean. This my daughter's favorite Christmas song. She was killed in a car wreck. I miss her so. He dad died a year and a half later of lung cancer that metastasized to the brain. I love this song even though I am crying as I write this. Bless you
I never get tired of this song. Dolly Parton is a beautiful lady and a great human being. The world is a better place for having Dolly Parton and people like her in it.
I wish I could have an opportunity to know this amazing woman! She is beautiful, smart, and so very talented. A truly good person, I hear! I'd love to learn it for myself. I love you Dolly!
@@ladivinapr I don't listen to country music either. But to me, Dolly Parton always seemed so nice and regular and down to earth. Thanks for listening and Happy Holidays 😊
The Lady Dolly of Country. This is one of my favorite Christmas songs but then I'm a Red Dirt Road girl from Georgia. My dawg and I are sending Country Christmas Wishes to All! The world needs the joy of Christmas and family everyday of every year! Giving peace a chance down here.
@wahoofan5375; Beautiful fish Wahoo. I know this comes 2yrs later but I want you to know that I hope you found a ray of sunshine and it helped you to push away from the drink and pull yourself up out of depression. I know all to well it is debilitating. Ok I'm in it now myself. Again, I hope you're well tonight. You are loved.
You’ll get over it. My father assumed room temperature 19 years ago. It took two weeks to move on. People die. We’re all gonna get clipped. Crying about it is a waste of time
Dolly is the best! I always read the comments people write and Dolly Parton is the only person where not one negative comment is written. In today's negative society that speaks volumes of Dolly's greatness. She deserves many thanks!
It CAN obviously be used as a Christmas song. VERY-obviously. But, if someone thinks it's MAINLY a Christmas song they've missed the point. It's about having to make do when life has left you high and dry, like from losing a lover, no matter the time of year. No offense intended.
my birthday is two days before christmas , born in 58. christmas in my world just does not exist without hearing and seeing dolly singing hard candy christmas.I say this with no ill will intended, I love you. you rock my world every december 23rd and beyond. thank you,
I'm so sorry for your loss just those words breaks my heart one day you will be in heaven with him ... I love all of Dolly Parton music amazing singer beautiful she is lost my babysister kim 2days before Christmas was 32 she was murder I lost my dad to cancer in 2018 had just turned 93 i pray for all who have lost a love one hope you have a bless Merry Christmas
I heard this song on the radio yesterday. I was looking for the lyrics when I found this RUclips channel. It’s surprising how it resonates with wives who have lost husbands to brain diseases. Yesterday was my oldest daughter’s 17th birthday, which should have been a completely wonderful day, but there is always a dark cloud looming over our heads, especially at Christmas. My husband is in a nursing home because of Young Onset Dementia. The man I fell in love with and married is gone, there is just a person that resembles him left. It is constant grieving that never ends! Dementia is a horrible disease that isn’t just about memory loss. Many patients stop having empathy for loved ones and only care about themselves. They don’t care how their actions affect others. This happens in early stages long before they forget who their family members are. A couple months after he was diagnosed, I asked him if he wanted help to get Christmas gifts for our kids. His response was…”Are they going to get me presents?” He was still working at this point. He treated his customers better then his family. That isn’t how a parent should think or act! He has hurt my children so deeply with his actions and words, that I finally had to limit contact to prevent anymore emotional scars. His cell phone has birthday reminders, but he just ignored it. He cared more about his cell phone yesterday then his daughter. I’m sorry for venting. My thoughts go out to everyone here who has lost someone or is hurting for other reasons. I hope that time has been kind and allowed them to heal in some way. Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas.
@@mattybinder747 So many people feel this way. So you are not weak or a loser. Be Kind to yourself. It feels like things will never change. But I promise they will. Pray and cry your heart out to God. Praying for you Matty.
@@GenevieveThornton Thank you! Yes, many,many better year's. I, got divorced in 1998 and remarried in 2015. To a really, wonderful man. Thank you again, you are so kind.
Only dolly could make this song mean so much ❤love you dolly and thank you so very much for all you have done for east Tn may god continue to bless you a fan for life
Denise Brutsman, MEE!! TOO!! 😢😢BEAUTIFUL SONG DOLLY!!! AND I DONT TYPICALLY LISTEN TO COUNTRY MUSIC. I heard it on an old school rock station, KOMA, IN OKC. I'M GLAD I RAN ACROSS THIS SONG 👏👏👏👏. WHAT I REPLAY THINGS I LIKE TOO. WHAT A COINCIDENCE 😁
This will always bring me back to my family back when I was a kid. A lot of the family has passed on now or moved and those memories are so real when I hear this song!
One of my favorite songs is Hard Candy Christmas sung by Ms. Parton. She is one of my favorite singers . Because when she sing she sing from the heart.
JOHN ORMAN; BLESS U AS U GO THRU THE HOLIDAYS & AFTER. IT'S SO HARD.2 BE ALONE FOR THEM. I HAVE BEEN NOW FOR 21 YEARS. MY EX WALKED OUT ON ME THO. STILL LOVE & MISS HIM THO. I HOPE U FIND SOME JOY IN SOME WAY. GOD BLESS YOU.
I’m a Christian singer songwriter. I like the word play on this song. But to those going through hard times, God is the only one that can help You through your storm ❤️
In my opinion, Dolly is one of the few Country Music talents that I consider absolutely timeless. One other artist that comes to mind is the late GREAT George Jones.
Sometimes Christmas brings hard news...a cancer diagnosis and the having to go back on chemotherapy 22 years later. But, thanks to better drugs, I will indeed be fine and dandy.
Got the chance to see her in Dollywood. Just pops in from time to time to see the guests and employees. Such a great soul and done so much for the Smokey Mountains. Truly never let money or fame go to her head. Love ya dolly!
She is the Queen of Country Music, a major Superstar! I love her for her genuine sweetness, and kindness that permeates her soul! Dolly has blessed us with her singer/songwriter magic over the years. I'm glad for her (as I am for Tina Turner), in that she got away from shackles, and caught a rocket to the moon! Bless you ladies. you deserve all the greatness and wealth achieved over your careers! God Bless!
OMG!!!!!!Dolly Parton is a true Angel and the most beautiful person with the most pure and simply beautiful soul that I have ever seen on a person in this whole entire corrupted place that we call the world that we live in.When God made her he broke the mold for sure!!!!!!
I love love love this song. I play it not just at Christmas but throughout the years for as long as I can remember. Many people have never heard of it and I wish she would perform it more often and have Christmas specials every year. I love her she's the best! Merry Christmas everyone!
I'm in my 80s now but this song always brings tears, the meager times, simple gifts, usually handmade & my prayers that Daddy would stay sober! Seems Christmas brought out the worst in him; hard on us but now I just pray he's @ peace as I know in my heart he was a good man with a tortured ❤️. The longer I live the more I learn to forgive! ❤️☘️🌹
the first time when I heard this amazing song 🎵🎼🎶🎼🎄☃️❄ Christmas song I appsaloutley loved it😘 and yes I have to agree Dolly did say it all a hard candy 🍭🍬 Christmas ! 😉 and being with my family makes it a sweet thing !! and enjoying the holidays with them being with them all makes me happy so I look forward listening to this song every time especially around the holidays thank you for sharing I do appreciate it very much and I hope 🕊that everyone every where🌍 has a wonderful day 🌤 from me here in Ontario 🇨🇦🙋♀️☮☯️god bless🌤🙏
I love this song . i love dolly seen her in concert twice. A beautiful woman and entertainer.. She has a big heart of gold look what she did gave a million dollars for the vacine what a beautiful soul . love her .god bless you dolly . your a angel.💜💜💜💜
my husband has a life-ending illness and just listening to this brings me to tears. When you know your beloved has days...? weeks? it makes everything so damned bittersweet, yet I have that chance to say and do what I have to NOW while he still can hear it.
First time I've heard this song - my mom use to write to her girl friends and she would always say she hoped they were find and dandy -- bittersweet song -- missing family since we've moved to Hawaii and family is all on the mainland -- feeling like Hard Candy --

An American icon - pride of Tennessee and the Grand Ole Opry. There will never be another Dolly Parton.
That is for sure! Dolly one of a kind!

Nobody sings this like Dolly, love it
Dolly it really is. Here in 2024. 😭
She has a voice like an Angel.
She really does ❤
Battling the bottle and depression this season, as many of us are, and man does this song hit home this year.
Permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Don’t go there

Another absolute classic, what a voice!
This is the best Christmas song. It really hits you where you live and speaks to everyone's troubles at this time of year.
What a wonderful and talented singer and songwriter...
This will be my first Christmas without my beautiful mama.
My heart hurts so much.
I miss you mama.
You’ll get over it.

It took two weeks to move on.

I've suffered some losses recently and feeling sorrow this Christmas. I kept hearng this song in my head. Thank you, Miss Dolly!
This was a source of inspiration for me several years ago during a very difficult holiday season. Dolly is a national treasure.
2021. will be the first Christmas without my mom who passed a few months ago... This song and family are helping me get through it.
RIP to your Mom
First Lady of Tennessee, She will never forget where she came from, Bless her. Lots of ppl could take lessons from her. 🌹
This is one of my favorite Christmas songs
its actually not really a Christmas song. Its good though.
It mentions Christmas; therefore, it qualifies as a Christmas song. Deal with it.
Yes, it’s a Christmas song about a brothel. It mentions Christmas candy, so it’s a Christmas song. LOL
Meade Music it is trying not to ruin a great moment
It CAN obviously be used as a Christmas song. VERY-obviously. But, if someone thinks it's MAINLY a Christmas song they've missed the point. It's about having to make do when life has left you high and dry, like from losing a lover, no matter the time of year. No offense intended.
I have lived through many hard candy Christmases..makes you appreciate everything more.
Bless Dolly..a local Tennessee gal.
One of my fav country singers. Remember her tv show . love her movies

First time I've heard this song - my mom use to write to her girl friends and she would always say she hoped they were find and dandy -- bittersweet song -- missing family since we've moved to Hawaii and family is all on the mainland -- feeling like Hard Candy --
One of the all time greatest in country music singers ever.
My grandson said, "she must l like that ornament"
LOL What a beautiful lady, voice and song
