    I grew up watching this, along with many other Christmas specials, recorded onto a janky old VHS tape. The tape is long gone, but God bless RUclips and other streaming services that allow it to remain a part of my holiday traditions!

      I found a DVD of it not long ago, best purchase I ever made. This special continues to be a part of my family tradition, passed along to my own children now.
      Like you: grew up watching it on VHS for decades.

    Every time I hear or sing or think of this song, I automatically think of the camels! They have a way of coloring the sound of this song with their jazzy version of the chorus!

      Yeah every other version I’ve heard of this song after seeing this I was disappointed cause the camel part is not livened up like this version is. 😜

    THEY SKIPPED THE THIRD VERSE!
    Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
    Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
    Sorr’wing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
    Sealed in the stone cold tomb.

    This was always my favorite segment of the show. My folks and I would always get quiet while it was playing then get really into it while the camels were singing. I hate that it took me forever to understand why, especially now that they're all gone.

    How I recall the first Christmastime in the 1990's when I first saw this Claymation Special first on CBS and then a year later on The Disney Channel it's fun to watch and even if it's possibly silly.

    Fun Fact: There was one more lyric to this song that the deep voiced king was supposed to sing about Myrrh, but Claymation most likely deemed it too dark for children... they're definitely not wrong. xD

    • @lauraaustin8527
      @lauraaustin8527 4 года назад +10

      I watched this every year for most of my childhood, and I distinctly remember the verse about myrrh being in it, so I think they for whatever reason cut it out of this video. Also, there are three kings, and they all sing the first verse, so it makes logical sense that each would have a second verse.

    • @sonniepronounceds-au-ni9287
      @sonniepronounceds-au-ni9287 11 месяцев назад +3

      It's not too dark for children; It's literally the gospel. It's the most important part. Why glaze over what Good Friday and Easter are supposed to be? It is just all leading to the cross and the resurrection.

    Fun fact: Balthazar (the deep voiced king) had his lyrics changed because the original one was considered too dark. It was
    “Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
    Breathes a life of gathering gloom
    Sorrowing, sighing,
    Bleeding, dying,
    Sealed in the stone-cold tomb”.

      @sonniepronounceds-au-ni9287 11 месяцев назад

      They should have mentioned the myrrh part of the song predicting the crucifixion and included Herod slaughtering the two year olds to try to kill Christ out of fear of being usurped by the Messiah after the wise men mentioned to him their quest of following the star. And, Mary and Joseph fleeing to Egypt with toddler Jesus to avoid Herod's men and using the wealth of the wise men's gifts to survive in exile. Then, we could have really gotten into the scary parts.

    • @sonniepronounceds-au-ni9287
      @sonniepronounceds-au-ni9287 11 месяцев назад

      Hell, they could have included the angels talking to the shepherds or warning Mary and Joseph of Herod in their biblically accurate forms, and we could keep reminding ourselves to "be not afraid".

  • @kingbeauregard
    @kingbeauregard 4 года назад +4

    Tradition has the Wise Men [The Bible never gave an amount. Jericho was a wicked, wicked city. Three men carrying valuables would never make it through. This is a prime example of 'Safety in Numbers'.] visiting Jesus in the manger. This is another tradition that is wrong. Matthew 2:11 says that Jesus was in a house. We are not told whose house, or how Mary, Joseph & Jesus got the house.

    • @suziequzie1961
      @suziequzie1961 5 месяцев назад

      Yes, all the Nativity scenes have the Wise men in it, but that's inaccurate. Jesus could have been as much as a year or two old by the time they arrived.
