God is with you all in your times of sadness! Try and remember to rejoice that our Savior was born to bring about a new life that we can have the gift of salvation and eternal life with Him in heaven. My prayers are with you all 🙏🏻💙
You will have to grow old; but growing up is optional, you don't have to if you don't need to. I'm 70 yrs old now and Christmas is like it was when I was 7. Believe!
+Shy Crazy, This and believe were from an era of outstanding end credit songs that can warm hearts and are very beautiful pieces strong enough to make even the greatest of nostalgics cry
this song hits different when you realize that Christmas won’t be the same this year... • EDIT: it’s about to be another year for a Christmas with possible struggles from this pandemic, i hope you’re all safe and healthy. ❤️
I never really listened to this song much, but it really hits home this yr. like another person said,it will hit everyone differently this yr. I notice a definite chill as I drove thru town the other day..There was no decoration in no windows,of any businesses, no lights anywhere..I really get it..Such a sad time as many business are just hanging by a thread or gone..We have never experienced anything of this nature...I pray that 2021 ,hopefully will be a better yr.
“He had thought of something he hadn’t before. Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little more!” - The Grinch
I never want to lose my Christmas spirit. I'm going on 58 and still giddy about Christmas. Now I get to see Christmas all over again through the eyes of my grandchildren. I've watched the cycle of life - lost some and gained some pretty amazing people. Life is good, even when it hurts. Stop believing - not me. In fact, the older I get the more Christmas means to me.
sierra douglas I know the feeling. 😔 I lost my grandma 10 years ago and just lost my grandfather last month so I haven’t been too joyful this year. Sending hugs your way.
Christmas is going to be so sad this year cause all the loved ones that passed away of covid and it is just going to match this song cause where is the laughter and the world is changing it matches this song
It’s too even think about it I lost my niece because my older sister had a miscarriage it’s sad to stop thinking of her at least I have only one niece and that my older sister is ok
@@akyrapritchett9450 same i can’t see my bf i’ve been dating him since 11 - 2 - 2020 and we saw eachother 4 times in the beginning of November and now he is getting surgery 🥺
@@abbyisweird8052 i can’t see my bf we got together in November 2nd and i miss him so much we met up like 4 times but in the beginning of november and now he is getting surgery
Christmas isn't what it used to be. I used to not be able to sleep on Christmas night, excited for Santa to come. I used to wake up throughout the night, pacing my room until I was allowed to rush downstairs as fast I could to see what Santa has brought. Now, its so different... I miss you Christmas
I totally agree with you on that!! Christmas is the exact same way for me now, 'cause I remember when I was kid, Christmas used to take FOREVER to come, and December was like the slowest month of the year!! Now that I'm an adult, it always flies by so--------- fast!! LOL!!
This song hit my heart hard 7 years ago after losing my son, 22 in a car accident. I wondered if Christmas would ever be the same again. With Gods love it is still beautiful.💞
Mum can you be home for Christmas.... I can't imagine my first Christmas without you... I need to try and find some way to get through this year... Your where sadly taken away from us all in first lockdown 11/05/2020... A whole family torn APART.. Not been able to say our final last words... Kiss & cuddle or take your hand... 💔💔💔💔💔💔PLEASE help me find some Christmas this year mum. I love you forever & Eternity... Xxxx
Colette Clarke Reading this just broke my heart. I'm so so so very sorry for you, your loss and your pain is unimaginable 😭 Love and hugs from afar xxxx 💜
@@purplefee9210 Thank you Purplefee, it's going to be hard Christmas day, but having good support and loving family & friends good people who care .. I can't ask for anymore. We are all in this together and can't let this pandemic rule us. ❤️ I miss my mum crazy and I hope she won't be far away. ♥️X
I hate growing up. Christmas just isn't the same. I try so hard to keep the spirit of Christmas but it's getting harder to hold on to. I want to still the child I used to be that believed. I dont know if I do anymore
I feel your pain. As I'm getting older the Christmas spirit...it just isn't there anymore no matter how much I try and hold onto it. At the beginning of December everything was fine, I was playing Christmas music, watching Christmas specials, and begging my parents to start decorating and to get the Christmas tree but... The time's have changed. I don't believe in my Elf on The Shelf anymore. My belief in Santa Claus, The Tooth Fairy, The Sandman, The Easter Bunny, Jack Frost... It's getting smaller by the day. I want to grow up and be mature but... I want to hold onto my childhood dreams as well. The thrill of waking up Christmas morning to presents. Searching through all the goodies in my Easter Basket. Putting my tooth under my pillow and waking up to money. Going to sleep and dreaming about my idols. And waking up for school to hear it's been canceled due to snow. I want to hold on but... I just don't think I can anymore. Everyone in my grade except my friends tell me "Oh Santa's not real. My parents told me." or " I woke up to my parents taking my tooth and then they sat down and told me the truth. How they aren't real." But... Maybe Santa and Jack Frost can change that with a white Christmas and Presents. I've already lost by belief in The Tooth Fairy. She hasn't come to collect the last few teeth I've lost... I just hope you can hold on. I know I'm desperately trying to but... as the song says... Time's are changing.
Delusional Empress I don't want to sound condescending, but you're really articulate for a little kid. (I'm assuming you are a little kid if you're still losing teeth.) Just thought I'd let you know. Your intelligence is a gift. I wish I'd used mine more :)
Zuri Robinson Thanks! Though I'm more of a pre-teen... no matter how many time's my parents tell me that there isn't a difference. And you always can if you put your mind to it.
The sad reason why Grinch hated Christmas was because he was bullied badly as a child. He felt lonely in this world. All that change with the kind heart of a child.
In the new animated version of the Grinch, he hates Christmas because he hates being alone... Also he has no parents like the cartoon version except for the live action where he was adopted by a couple of old Who Ville ladies
I lost my father to cancer 3 years ago I lost a Grandchild In August 2023. You just don't know how to go on without the ones you love with you and it hits hard at this time of year especially. I'm trying so hard to get in the Christmas spirit for my family that's left. But it's very difficult you miss them so much😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I cry every time I hear this song. I literally just cried. I wish this song could play globally and every would just put aside their differences and be peaceful. :)
Hah, the billions of this Earth's inhabitants who don't celebrate Christmas might not care about Christmas' vanishing act. Although the holiday, at least in the States, has become much secularized as of late.
Kandice Short I moved From Michigan to Saint Louis, MO March 15th, 2016 with my fiance. It was our first time living together on our own. The holidays are VERY hard to cope with when you're far away from Family. I felt so empty & sad, but thankfully we moved back home March 15 of last yr. So I was only away for 1 yr. I'm so blessed & thankful to be back with my family❤.
In my humble opinion, for whatever it is worth, this song always brings a tear to my face. The Christmases past that I knew are no longer there. As time goes by, I have lost loved ones due to illness, age, or accidental moments in life. When I was a kid, I used to enjoy these days leading up to the Holidays at the end of year. Incredibly enough, times change, people change, even our loved ones that used to make part of our memories are all gone. Life goes on. And to think, that one day, maybe just maybe, our children, maybe even grandchildren, will go through the same thoughts we are going through right now. Imagine that. I would like to say a saying that I heard through a documentary about a rock band and one of its members said that stuck in my head forever to sum it up. "The only thing that I am learning right now is that life flies by very fast. Before your know it, it's all over. And to think that not too long ago it just begun." Great quote. A lesson in life in itself.
Hi I wanna tell you Jesus Loves You So Much He Gave His Life for our sins so we can be forgiven from our sins and Go To Heaven! Gods Love For Us Is Unconditonal ✝️
Very true. The loved ones that have passed, as well as the ones I moved away from for a new job. It’s Christmas Day and I’m living in Colorado and no family here :(
I remember Christmas Eve as a kid being all excited for gifts!! As a parent I was excited for my kids because they were so excited. As a grandparent, my perspective has shifted somewhat. These precious babies are my excitement every single day and Jesus is the beautiful gift!!
Christmas isn't about presents it's about love kindness and laughter being with your family members some friends celebrating together celebrating what Christmas is if you do that then that is the perfect Christmas.
+CHRISTY ALLARD Truly honorable words! I used to care about just the presents I'll receive but it's also about giving thanks to those that gave them to you and hope you will give back someday.
I miss the way Christmas was when I was a kid. My whole family was together, me, my mom, my grandma, and all 5 of my older siblings. My youngest older sister and brother and I used to argue over who got to open their presents first, and mom often let me since I'm the baby 😜 But now my siblings are all grown up, and my oldest one has a kid of her own, two live in another state, and the other two don't really talk to us anymore. So for the past few years it's just been me, my grandma and mom and it feels so empty 😢
I miss being a kid😞this bringing back so many memories i love my mama and daddy so much❤I'll be going to college in August omgg I'm 19 now i remember being that 9 year old girl ready for Christmas😭❤
Christmas has always been my favorite time of year. My entire family gathered at my house for dinner, presents, stories and laughter. I would sit on the couch by the tree for hours just listening to my grandfather tell stories about his life, anywhere from his time in the Navy to the many roadtrips he took through out his 88 years. However, this year I don't know how I'll enjoy Christmas with his passing. He was the one that kept the family together. Even though each of my cousins had families of their own, they packed them up and made the trip out to see us. They have already stated they will all be spending Christmas individually.
I know the feeling, my dad always made Christmas special for us. You are right, it will never be the same but it can still be enjoyable. We make homemade pizzas and get drunk. start a tradition. God bless and Merry Christmas.
I have never spent Christmas with family. I have spent it always with friends. I don't know any Holiday I have spent with Family ever since I was little.
I dealt with the same thing when I was in eight grade buddy, sorry. I know it's rough. I'm the youngest cousin out of 13. I'm a junior in high school now. Christmas is about loving the people you do have and remembering the times you had with them and the people who are no longer there. Stay strong though, peace
For all those who are saying they are alone on Christmas know that you are never alone. For God is always there with you holding your heart.... I trust in your love and my heart is happy because you saved me...🤗.PSALM 13:5. AMEN🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇❤❤❤❤
Im in a really bad depression right now, and this song just hits my heart hard, Ive allways loved Christmas, but this year? I just cant bring myself to get into it, I have to force myself for my daughter.
Naomi Bedwell your probably not going to see this but try and imagine what your daughter is feeling, then after a while sit in your room listen to Christmas music, and cry your eyes out.
Hey, I'm not sure if you can see this or will remember this because that was 3 years ago, but you need to keep going for your daughter. Christmas is magical. And I'm sure she wants to spend it with her momma. Keep going, beautiful:)
I usually love Christmas..but this year I have bad depression, I force a smile to make my family think I’m okay..I’ve been to a doctor and they told me I have depression
as a child I hated Christmas after about 4 we didn't have presents,just a tree.so I always had a great Christmas for my kids.this year will be my first without my middle son who took his own life 7 months ago I dread it so much ,he was 34 and single so he stayed ever Christmas Eve night and his stocking is here still .now Christmas has eluded me again this year.but this somg is beautiful because it is a feeling inside
jrenee harris I'm so sorry to hear that. I pray for you and your family that you all feel loved this Christmas season. I hope you find the cheerful spirit of Christmas❤️
jrenee harris I'm so sorry for your sons loss. I'm sure it's hard going through that. But you just gotta be strong and keep moving forward. Stay positive and keep in touch with the lord!!
As we get older Christmas changes. People we love are no longer with us. Friends are gone. But, in my heart I have a lifetime of heartfelt memories to get me through each passing Christmas. Merry Christmas to all. ❄☃️🎄🎁⛸🛷
Fun fact: the song was co-written by Mariah Carey in 2000 . And also Mariah first recorded it. But cuz of legal cases with her ex husband tommy mottola they had to pass it. So they send it to faith Hill and she re-recorded. I knew when I listened to this song it was by Mariah carey. The lyrics looks very similar to her song miss you most at Christmas time
Christmas is not all about presents its about caring for your family and have a great time and don't be mean just care and be a family and forgive each other and love each other don't be mean to each other just be helpful to everybody.☺
This song always brings a tears to my eyes!! Faith Hill has such a beautiful voice!! The lyrics are so deep!! Wishing everyone in the whole wide world peace, love, wealth and awesome health!! Be good to each other!! A hello and smile goes a long way!!! Happy holidays to all!!!

I can relate to this song so much.. As I have gotten older Christmas is not the same anymore.. My family has become more distant, people don't get along and I just don't have any excitement for this day.. I wish Christmas was like it was when I was the same.. But sadly it really has changed for me.. 😔😢
+Nicholas Attanasio it has changed for the worst for the whole world, not just for you Nicholas! the people are caring more about themselves and less about others, natural human selfishness.
Nicholas Attanasio same. I'm still a kid though. My parents are in a tight money situation I can only get 3 presents and we are only getting presents for my mother, father, me, my sister, and brother... No other family. It's September and my mom already got our three presents. I wish Christmas was like when I was 5 and lived with my parents siblings grandparents and MANY cats. our grandma cooked like it was thanksgiving 🙏🙇🎉. We'd have a HUGE Christmas tree. Our stockings would be stuffed. We'd all have at least 15 presents. We had so much money. But now it's all gone. Christmas is just about as dead as St.Nickolas is 🙏🙌👏🙏🙇
You know as a kid there was nothing that could compare to the magic of Christmas. Then as an adult you think that same experience isn’t the same any more but Christmas isn’t just about that big fat man and what he leaves under your tree. It’s about being with the ones that make you smile all year round, your family, your friends. If you’ve that every 25th of December then the magic of Christmas never dies ❤️❤️❤️
This song perfectly encapsulates the feeling of helplessness, due to the loss of happiness. Whether we realize this physically, or mentality due to our memories reminding us how much things have changed. We must believe and understand, better memories can be made with the right people, who care for us!
My grandmothers favourite song.. She loved Christmas, she used to get so excited when she could go shopping and give and receive...hearing this makes me tear up
This is a beautiful song, I miss the old days of my childhood when things were simpler. Now the world has changed around us, and so have the holidays for the most part. I still enjoy Christmas itself, and I look forward to it. There's conflict in the world, when there should be peace.
I lost my Mom in 2019. Christmas hasn't felt the same at all. I've actually had a very hard time putting any effort in this year. But I and my family really tried even though we didn't feel it. At the very least, because we know that's what she wants for us. This song makes me feel better that we did.
After all that has happened to me this year, I can't wait till Christmas. It's the time of year where all my stress goes away and I feel joy and happiness.
This song is literally my life. It reflects everything. And now I listened to the whole song. It saved me. I think I might find Christmas. Again. December 25th 2019. 2:32 am. Merry Christmas.
I could listen to this all day over and over again. That's how much I love this song!!!!! This song reminds me of my grandma. This is the first ever Christmas that I won't have my grandma. She passed away about 2 months ago. She's in my ❤️. I just won't know how well I will do without my grandma here with me this year. I love you so much grandma. I love you for everything you did for me. You mean a lot to me.
I miss the feeling of Christmas, the comfort, the joy, the love.... my grandma misses it because she feels it's nothing more than marketing and consumerism. And to my displeasure she was right. And every year Christmas becomes less and less from what I remember. I just want people to not give up on life and the holidays all because of how life has changed today. I just hope there are still millions who still believe in the spirit of Christmas and just live for the moments for the holidays, and see the beauty like I remember long ago
As you get older your views of christmas change. Dont get me wrong i miss being a kid and waking up to see what santa brought me. But now as a mother of two beautiful wonderful terrors, seeing the look of awe on their faces means the world to me. Also since my mother battled her cancers and is now in remission it really makes you take a step back and realize that you are super lucky to have loved ones still around to share the joy, warmth, and love with. Honestly im glad Christmas has changed for me, because my christmas mornings mean SO much more to me now. Merry Christmas everyone.
I read so many sad comments below that my heart feels heavy for all of those who have suffered any kind of personal loss. Each of us has experienced the highs and lows of life, but we all know we need to press on and not let the low to dictate who we are. Find a way inside of you to rise above your grief and know that even if you don’t believe it you are loved by our Lord.
I love the Christmas season and I absolutely love this song. The reason why this song is so great is because of the meaning behind it, and yes I listen to Christmas songs in October and I am not ashamed. It saddens me that so many people now days are becoming anti Christmas and hate Christmas when it comes around. They always claim oh Christmas is to worldly and everyone only cares about gifts and materialistic things. The reason I love this song is because it explains that Christmas is what you make of it, it is a time where people come together and have love and kindness for one another. Have you ever noticed how people are a lot nicer to people at Christmas time? it is for those reasons that I love this holiday so much. I always tell people that the gifts are not about receiving but about giving and if you remember that then their is no reason to think Christmas is just materialistic. I have young kids and of course when they think of Christmas they think of toys and presents because that is the way kids are they don't understand the true meaning of this holiday and so my husband and I try to instill in them each year to try and teach them that yeah you get gifts and people give gifts to others and it is because this holiday is all about giving and showing that selflessness and compassion towards others. I am saddened that people have lost the spirit of Christmas in this world we live in now.
Deltarocks1 i agree it saddens me because its such a special time of year where families get together to spend time with each other where people are more compassionate and caring its a time where it doesnt matter what you look like or believe in and where people put there diffrences aside and help each other not to gain something from it just to help those less fortunate thats what i love about the holidays and i feel bad for those who dont understand the true magic of the holidays
I was asked to sing this song at a funeral vigil service for a young man who loved the Christmas Season.. he went to heaven to be with his loving mother who was his best friend.. I have been listening and tears have fallen down my cheeks as I sing along.. What a lovely song.. so heartfelt.. the meaning is so touching… I pray I can do this song justice… 🙏
Beautiful song written by Mariah Carey and sung by Faith Hill. Faith did a good job too, those aren't easy notes to hit. But, where did Faith Hill go? Come back, boo.
+Terra KittyCat i miss Faith, we want her back,, why do u think she stopped??? Maybe the newer,,,crap,, Taylor Swift chased her off,,,, but with Underwood,, its good again,, so hopefully we will see her ???
I seriously thought this was Mariah Carey back when I first heard it lol. Mariah was supposed to sing this but they gave it to Faith Hill. It's one of my fave Christmas songs
I lost my Mother décember 19, 2017... I lost the spirit of Christmas for a couple years... Had two daughter since 2020 and 2021.. i can say Christmas is There again 💕 Thank you life
I love Christmas music, but I will still believe in Santa Claus. I love opening presents and putting up the decorations every year. Just Christmas makes us all happy every year but it is like really again and more gift to give out to family members. I love this music and I love Christmas, it is awesome.
O my god this song is my favorite Christmas song ever every time I hear this song I cry and now I have to sing it for school I cry because I love Christmas and I can’t even imagine what it would be like if I had to spend Christmas alone or like that because my favorite part of Christmas is that my family is always happy and it’s always been like that Christmas is not about me or presents it’s about Jesus and family and I believe that that’s the meening of life is to love 😥😥😥♥️♥️♥️🌲🌲🌲🥺🥺🥺😊😊😊

I hope you know you are amazing no matter what anyone else says and you have a purpose in life 💗 Stay beautiful and know that you are worthy always , Peggy . Hope you have a Happy New Year. This song really brings me to tears every time😭
I heard this song playing last year, three days after my mom passed away. And now I will forever associate this song with her. The song is beautiful and has a message of Hope. I read the comment made by a gentleman who had lost his wife and is hopeful to find Christmas again. I feel the same way! Peace, love, and hope to all of us who have had a loss of magnitude🙏
Lost my great grandfather three years ago. He died right before Christmas. This Christmas I turn 16. "I'm not the same one, see what the times done." Its not the same without him. 💔 I used to be a self harmer I'm sober from it for 2 weeks and I'm gonna keep going. Pray for me this Christmas.

I know that my Lord was not born on December 25th but what man has done with this day, touches me in a crippling way. Thank you lord for you sacrifice. Christmas is beautiful..........
When Grinch was an orphan, he doesn’t have any of his parents. As a grown up, he hated Christmas. I felt bad for him. And so, he met Cindy Lou Who. She invited him over to the Christmas party. And now, his heart is really in a HUGE size. After he returned Christmas gifts to the citizens of Whoville. I’m proud of him.
Listening to this song makes me yearn to feel the same way about Christmas as I did when I was a child. As we age, we lose sight of the Christmas spirit in the world we have created. Allow love in your heart and mind, LOVE THIS SONG!

I rewatch this movie last night and NEVER in my life did I ever think I'd relate to this song as much as I did so this year. I genuinely miss how Christmas used to be and I hope one day it can be that magical thing again with adults and kids alike
This song breaks my heart. I cry almost every time I listen to it, but I keep coming back. It's because even though I just turned 16, things aren't the same anymore. I still love Christmas, but it's different now, with traditions fading, family leaving, and shorter Christmas breaks. It always makes me so sad

If the New world order gets its way, Christmas may have to be celebrated in secret. Christ will be the The Real New World Orde, when he comes again. And the ones who think otherwise will have a dreadful surprise.J L
Christmas weekend at family’s house: Where are you WiFi Why can’t I find you Why have you gone away Where is the Network You used to bring me Why do I only have one bar My phone was updating My passwords changing Does that mean WiFi changed its password too Where are you WiFi Do you remember The game we used to play It requires WiFi So I ask you why You stopped giving service to me WiFi is here In this shack That has snacks Hiding in the corner Plugged in There’s a charger And I’m finally at peace again with my game. I found you WiFi I found it outiside When I move it dies And my phone is running out of battery
