No contest. Ceelo close, I love him and he loves Donny & just wanted to try to do it justice, keep it in rotation & bring it to some new ears since some of the generations seem to have not had proper musicology taught to them & cultural musical roots stopped being handed down, why a lot of new youth music lacks heart & soul... I digress, this song is infinitely untouchable, its perfection.

What a wonderful tribute - I miss your mother and I didn't even know her! You were blessed to have this woman to guide you throughout your life, and she continues to guide you to this day. I will be thinking of her, and you, tomorrow.
This song brings back so many beautiful memories-I was ten when it was released. My stepdad and mom loved this song. He passed in 1989 and she just passed Aug 2020. Miss them so much
I loves to hear this song at Christmas Times. Donny Hathaway is the only one who can sing this song. Very smooth & warm. The instrumental is very soft & warm. R. I. P. Donny Hathaway. Still loves this song.
Donny Hathaway the man with the magical voice released this in 1970, Phil Upchurch said the song was "absolutely the premiere holiday song written by an African American". It was written by Hathaway and Nadine McKinnor.
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 The fireside is blazing bright, wow We're caroling through the night, wow This Christmas will be a very special Christmas for me, wow Let's go 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 The fireside is blazing bright And we're caroling through the night And this Christmas will be a very special Christmas for me Oh, shake a hand, shake a hand now Ooh, the fireside is blazing bright We're caroling through the night And this Christmas will be so special for you and me, yes, it will be Shake a hand now Come on, everybody shake a hand now Family and we'll be together to make this Christmas bright Yes, we will
"I realize,that Me.Donny Hathaway,and 'The Beatles",Mr.John Lennon's birthday's,are the date:Both fellows had a few smillar classic;both were wonderful pianists',writer of hit'chart songlyrics,both were singers,and wore a fashions cap,on top of their head':3-16-2022'
bittersweet how modern, sample-era-autotune tinkerer social media types imitate this REAL music and then discard it. Younger, unsophisticated kids now r accustomed to snap-n-pop, choppy bit-rate digitunes. Not lamenting, per se. It just doesnt matter in the long run. You'll SEE! :)
Why you you think there's a dip in the volume around the 3:11 mark in the song? I've always wondered this growing up. This is my favorite Christmas song of all times.
