NewSong - The Christmas Shoes 

This song always makes my mom tear up and cry. I never understood why and always felt like it had to do something with me. She told me when I was three that I had cancer but I knew that already. But she went on to say that about a week before Christmas it started to get worse and they didn't think I would make it. So she decide to go out and get me a little green bear that I saw and always wanted. I started to get better about 3 weeks later. But she said when she heard this song, she just thought of that December and the miracle that I'm alive today. 13 years cancer free😌

I lost my mom 30 years ago, but every time I hear this, it makes me think of her, but to know she has had 30 years of Christmases with Jesus, it makes me smile!!

I was 15 on my mom's last Christmas. Dad brought her from the hospital for a few hours. She was thin and frail from fighting cancer from 8 years. Money was tight. Dad had bought her a pair of embroidered slippers for Christmas. They were so pretty. ..... She passed on January 10, 1968. I cannot listen to this song without my mind being flooded with memories of that last Christmas with my mother. God bless those who are mourning this Christmas. Those who mourn do so because they have loved!❤

Judging from the comments, this song has killed a lot of moms.

This Christmas will be the first Christmas that my family celebrates since my mother died almost 6 months ago after decades of debilitating illnesses. I have sung this song at the local carols by candlelight every year for the last 3 years. Each year as her condition got worse, it got harder and harder to get through the performance without breaking down in tears, afraid that this would be the last Christmas that my Mother was with us. This was one of the last songs that my Mum ever saw me perform. Coming into the holiday season for the first time since we lost her, is downright terrifying. She was Christmas to our family, she cooked the food, the bought the presents, she wrapped them and put them under the tree, and she woke up with me and my sister at 5 am every Christmas to watch our faces light up with joy when we opened the presents that she bought us and labeled "from Santa". There is no end to the amount of appreciation I have for this amazing woman, who suffered immeasurable pain daily and still had the energy to be a Mother, a Chief and Santa Clause. This Christmas, I will sing this song again for her, which will undoubtedly end in tears. But I can't think of a better song to honour her memory. I am terrified of finding out what Christmas is like without my Mum, but as stubborn as she was, she will probably make an appearance just to make sure we aren't screwing up her favourite holiday. Rest in Peace Mum, and Merry Chirstmas

My mom and I use to listen to this song around Christmas time. Now she is in heaven and this song reminds me of her. I miss her so much.

All of these emotional comments about loved ones and tears... and here I am after watching 'The Christmas Socks'

I am a 68 year old Christian man who can NOT hear this song without tearing up. We should ALL feel such a great love as this song implies.. God Bless…

When my mom was here she always listen to this song and cried 😭💜. I lost my mom June 3rd 2018. This song makes me cry 😭

Everytime I hear this song, it never fails to bring tears to my eyes.

This song hits a strong note with me. My mom passed away on Christmas morning just like the mother in this song and movie did. Back in 2008. It don't get any easier no matter what others may say. It hurts just as much as it did the day she died.

I'm all in tears wish my mom was here she left with the Lord on March 2014 What a song Still crying hard miss my mom so much

Patton Oswalt fucking nailed the impression. I thought he was exaggerating, but he sounded exactly like him.

Always makes me tear up. My mom was sick that year for Christmas and died on New Year's. I definitely understood what that kid felt.

Hey dad it’s been almost 2years since the lord took you, I miss you I will never be more grateful that you married my mom. So many memories flood my thoughts 😢😢😢

My mom never liked listening to this song. I never understood why because it’s so beautiful… until I became a parent myself.

This was my mom's favorite Christmas song. She passed away October 3rd..it hits differently now.

Christmas time again! It's not the gift that matters, it's the spirit of giving.

My Mom passed away almost 4 years ago. I Miss Her So Much. Until We Meet Again! ❤❤❤

Its funny how the bearded guy is singing while the rest of his band mates just stand around uncomfortably.

This was my mom's favorite song we lost her 2 yrs ago. Song still makes me cry

My Mom passed 3 days after Christmas and although this song makes me cry every time it also keeps her memory alive

Still hits you in the feels, all these years after its release. The film is still a seasonal favourite for me.

when i was little people would sing this song in church it never really affected me. now im playing this on repeat and cried over it

just lost my mom to lung cancer Monday , and she loved this song. it brings back so many memories.

LOVE THIS SONG I LOST MY MOM IN 1977 TO CANCER I LOVE HER & MISS HER DEARLY

Thank you Jesus for everything you have blessed me with, amene.

Still listening to this song every Christmas and always brings tears to my eyes!

I think about mom she passed away in December of 2010 on Christmas eve and I hear this song and I can't stop crying !!! It's so beautiful !!!

I haven't heard this song in years and lord if I'm not bawling like a baby right now. This song shows the true meaning of Christmas

My third Christmas without my mom and i am playing this song over and over just to cry for her. Cancer took her as well and I cry every couple days.😪😪😪

Always makes me think of my mom she was really sick for a while died when I was 7, I am 45 now. This song touches my heart so much and always puts chill bumps on me. Love the song. It's a tear maker that's for sure.

This song makes me emotional, and it makes me feel grateful that my parent's are in good health and are ghe best thing's in my life. God bless everyone, much love.

I lost my mother, Dorothy, just a few days before Christmas back in 2009 on the 22nd of December. She'd had a lon-running battle through life with Diabetes, four types of crippling athritis, hyperthyroidism, cellulitis, and even survived ovarian cancer. But after a couple years of being bedridden, she eventually lost the fight to congestive heart failure. That Christmas was especially hard, but at the same time began a tradition to throw a party every Christmas with the whole family, to have everyone together to celebrate the season of kindness, love and joy. We're holding that party this year on Sunday the 22nd, the anniversary of my mother's passing. The first time I heard this song on the radio in the car after she passed, I cried because it reminded me of her so much. But I still love it because it's a beautiful song, and it many ways it seems like it was written for many people like me or my mother. So every year, near the anniversary of her passing, I always listen to this as I think of her, to keep her memory alive and celebrate how much of a great mother she really was. I never knew what I had until I'd lost it forever. Written in dedication To the memory of Dorothy Smith November 29th 1949 - December 22nd 2009 Loving Mother, Charitable and caring human being. I still love you mom, and I miss you. Requiescat in pace.

I cry every time I hear it . Beautiful and sad

Of all the Christmas videos and songs,this is truly what Christmas is all about.I make sure that I'm proud and humble for my parents.I to will see them again in heaven, Amen,take me home and thankyou for blessing me.

I lost my Grandma Becky December 2nd 1996 it 23 days before Christmas 1996 and I’ve been numb deep down in ever since this song hits home big time God Bless the ones who’ve lost parents or Grandparents or anyone always remember you’re not alone God Bless you all happy Holidays

Thank you guys so much for creating Patton's best segment ever!

I always cry when I listen to this song. My mom is in heaven, and I miss her so much. I love you, mom!!

This song has such a great message , and it always brings me to tears , my mom passed away in January of 1996 from cancer and my wife and I both miss her and this song brings back all of the special memories that I have of her

Such a Great Movie..Haven’t seen it being Aired the past few Christmases. Dad passed 2002 Mom 2003 the last 10 days I would carry her from her chair to her bed October 28 the Last time I carried her to bed... both were 70 and Cancer took them both. In Feb this year Cancer took my Sister only 52....... I miss them All So....... This song reminds me as I weep Jesus Is The Way The Truth and The Life...... And it’s Only Gods Grace and Mercy that enables us who loose our Loved ones to wake up each day.... and Live Life......

I’ve always loved this song and the movie Christmas shoes. But since I lost my mom in 2017 this song really touches me now and I can’t help but think about the last Christmas I spent with her listening to this song and watching this very movie. Rest easy momma we miss u down here but will never forget u

I miss my momma 🥺 crazy to think I only spent 7 years of my life with her, I’m now 23 years old, 16 years without her. Can’t believe it’s been that long already, miss you everyday.

It's 2022 and I'm back here. This song still makes me teary even after listening to it all these years. Who's here with me

I cry every dang time 😢 😭 Very difficult song for me to listen to but what an incredible message of love. Such a blessing ❤🙏

This is one of those movies that I never make it through without crying. How horrible to lose a parent at that age and on Christmas, no less. And I absolutely love this song. They never play it on the radio anymore....

I lost my dad when I was just 2. Little did I know I would lose my mom when I was just 22 ....Three days after Christmas, I'm listening to this again this morning and in just two months I will be the same age as her when she passed. I'm just sitting in my truck, bawling my eyes out right now. I miss mom.

Omg I’ve never heard this before, SNL really hit the mark!

Whose crying to this in December 2019....don't be ashamed grown men it's okay....

My mother passed away from cancer 4 months ago. Christmas 2018 was her last Christmas. When I listen to this song it reminds me of the many Christmases where my mother would ask for nothing just so I could have something. This will be the first Christmas without her and I don't know how I am going take it. But I know that there will be a missing piece. She loved Christmas so that spark will be missing. Rest in Peace Momma.

This songs brings me to tears every December 18 , as this is the day my mom went home to meet Jesus with her new slippers

No matter what I do, or think about myself my mom haves the love of God in me,She is one I will slways treasure,Amen

Still puts tears in my eyes.My Mom has just been recently told just 25% of her heart is alive. she's 91,hopefully be 92 Dec.31. Lord willing. These things make a person realize the more important in this world and as we get older ourselves.

When I first heard this song I cried like a baby! I found the movie and cried again. I lost my husband on the 22nd of December so things like this do happen. I cried not for myself but for all the people who had lost love ones over the holiday. It's not just a song or a movie it's real.

This song brings a tear to my eye for two weeks before Christmas my grandma passed away in 81. She was the one who raised me from a child.

Well, at least no one died in the SNL parody...

This song always has me crying, but even more so now that my momma went to Jesus last March of 2015. God bless you all and Thank you for sharing this very special song.

reminds me of my mom, . . . miss her. Merry Christmas, mom

This song reminds me of my cousin who passed away 18 yrs. ago and left behind a 6yr. old son. Her mom died 9 months ago. We still miss them both!

My mom passed November 25 2021 and this was her most favorite song still brings tears every time I hear it! She’s the reason I love Christmas and Jesus so much and amazing woman!

This song teaches us how we should act and how we should care for anybody. Always have a smile on your face because were blessed just to be alive.

My favorite part is the bridge. The man standing in line finally realized that because he was having a bad day, God made that child's mother terminally ill, so that he can help brighten her last few days with a simple act of kindness, and feel blessed. A heart warming parable to the common and yet challenging apologetics topic of suffering. I know that a lot of people struggle with this topic, and in some cases, in most cases, have their faith stop dead in its tracks. But this, this explains everything.

Thanks to Brad Taste In Music, I did not realize it was an actual Christmas song and not just a Blink-182 song

Cherish our loved ones! The breath of life is a gift from God. Be grateful! Sending love and prayers to all, who feel this song. Jesus loves you! ❤️

EVERY TIME I HEAR THIS SONG I CRY A LITTLE , CAN'T HELP BUT THINK OF MY MOM I LOST HER WHEN I WAS ONLY 10 YRS OLD , SHE WAS ONLY 37 . AND EVEN THOUGH MOM'S BEEN GONE FOR ALMOST 41 YRS NOW MY HEART STILL BREAKS EACH TIME I HEAR THIS SONG . THANK YOU TO WHOM EVER WROTE THIS SONG

- I cry every time this songs comes on ! I'm crying as I write this too ! His momma looked so great in those shoes ! May all those who have lost a loved one around the holidays be blessed and remember what Christmas is all about !

There is only 244 days left until Christmas I can’t wait for it to come

I🎄🎄🎄 pray God encircles all those who have lost loved Loved Ones this Christmas 2023 🙏🙏🙏

December 3rd, 2019......Still listening. I'm so thankful to GOD for my blessings. Let's all remember the true meaning of Christmas.🥰🙏

I can't stop crying. One day when I lose my mom I may be able to hear it again. It just hits your heart the way no other Christmas song can.

No many times I see this flim and the music,my soul says Thankyou you Lord that I do have some time on earth.I will see my loved ones again,in heaven,Amen.

Most touching Christmas song ever! Merry Christmas everyone.

Powerful...a young son's love for his momma at the time of her passing. Humanity helped him make his gift realized. Much love for all mom's in heaven at this Christmas time...putting my hand on my heart sending my love!!!

This is making me cry. Such a message of love and the true meaning of Christmas.

My late wife Rainy past away 9 years ago right before Christmas. This song always brings tears to my eyes.

I tear up, every time. My Mom deserves so much more.

Tear jerker. This and the movie. Yet, I can't help but love them both.

I cry EVERY time I watch this. A lot of people say this is so depressing but they don't see the whole beautiful story...

Aww I lost my mom to COVID this past December 20th, 5 days before Christmas. This definitely makes me think of her. Miss you mom. 😢❤️💔

I first remember hearing this song in 2008 when my first wife passed due to cancer. So it does bring the tears to my eyes!

This is the most beautiful of all Christmas Songs! Understand I have lost two wives to cancer. My first one in 2008. That was the first year I ever heard this beautiful song! The second one in 2015. That was the first year I ever rung the bell for The Salvation Army. As a preacher and a bellringer I am sure I am around stories like this a lot! I plan to send this out to as many friends as possible this Christmas season. God bless you for having this out!

I'm here for Frank James lol

To everyone out there that has lost a loved one or more, please know that you are not left alone. From my heart to yours I love you. New Song, thank y'all so much for this song, movie, and video. I recently read some negative comments about this song and it hurts me to know that there are still some "spiritually deaf" and heartless people out there. I myself LOVE ALL of your songs. God Bless everyone out there and New Song. My wishes to all of you A Blessed Holiday Season!!! 😇🙏🎄☃️⛄

Literally crying having seen this every year, I still can’t help it. Hold those you love close for time will change all!

This song always makes me think of my mother in law. Her birthday was on christmas day. And she passed away a few years back due to suicide. Christmas has always been hard for my wife and in laws every year. This song always makes my wife tear up.

Beautiful song. Makes me cry every time. ❤❤❤❤

2 Things: 1. SNL brought me here 2. Was that Rob Lowe?!

I love how the rest of the band just stands around looking uninterested.

My wife died in 2004. I was 28 years old when I married her. She died when I was 36 years old. I had 8 wonderful years with her. She died on Monday, August 31, 2004. To this day. That song still makes me cry.

One of the greatest songs I've ever listened to.

Why isn't this movie and song get more exposure on the radio and t.v.?The message is straight forward and true to Chrismas.

THIS SONG MAKES PEOPLE CRY??? It makes me simultaneously laugh hysterically whilst vomiting, which is an awesome achievement.

I think that this song is very touching and very emotional. It feels like this music can just reach right to a person's heart. My mom is still alive. I lost my dad to cancer 9 years ago. I think that this song shows how precious life is and how quickly life goes by

I’m back again 12/21/21 I’ve always loved this song. My mom passed away 15 years ago two weeks before Christmas from cancer. 🥺

My mom was a double leg amputee due to type 2 diabetes. I had the honor to take care of her from ages 12 to 15 when she passed away. Mama Sometimes I forget everything that you did for me in life and everything I am is because of you. I love you and miss you Barbra Ann kelly

Incredible and true giving, not only to the young man's sweet mother, but what the busy attorney and his family gained too. I'm so glad I watched that well-done learning what's truly important, community and family keeping together film, along with this emotional song.🙏🏾🙌🏾🥿🎯🎄❄⭐ Merry Christmas and stay safe everyone!

Lost my mom in 2006, I Never got to say goodbye, I never got to buy her that one last special thing, This song is amazing

this was my moms favorite christmas song, it played on the radio rarely when i was a kid but it eventually fell out of the rotation. she always loved it for some reason, made her, and myself tear up. i just lost my mom to a battle with a rare disease and this is my first christmas without her. hadn’t heard this song in a long time, and decided to listen to it today out of the blue when i remembered it. it’s so beautiful, and so sad hearing after her passing brings a whole new level of emotion to it. i just wish i could have listened to it with her one last time

I used to listen 2 this song with my mom all the time it was my favourite song. My mom passed away when I was 13... Love this song

One of my favorite christmas songs. It might be the saddest song ever but its the message
