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!❤
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
I'm sorry about your mom, I know how you feel, I lost my dad when I was 5 and I was asleep in the middle of the night and had to go to the hospital and find out they couldn't save him. Also, when I was born my mom left, then the day after my dad died and I was at school she appeared there took me and I didn't know who she was, and then she took my sister and I to Florida, a few years later we came back to Tennessee and my grandparents got custody of my sister and I and she left again, but that was 2 or 3 years ago and now I'm 11 and I get to see a lot know. All I really wanted to say was I am sorry about your mom and I know how you feel.
I am sorry that you have had to experience all that at such a tender age. whoever you have remaining as family, please hold onto them. please take care of your sister and always pray for your grandma. God bless you
im glad you feel the same as me. my mom was sick since i was and before i was born. everything i do was when i was at 1 year old i will help her eat and cooked for the moments of her life. but i was lost for words when i found out that on 2006 at 7:30 pm she is gone to heaven two months after christmas. i spent march 23rd by my self. i just want my energy as much as you do so dont cry because she also wants you to remember the good times. my name is uchenna uzoigbo and im the lost child i have nobody but i do have a boyfriend who cares as well. so give your strenght and hope and you will be okay, even through your performace. god bless you. from again uchenna uzoigbo
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 😢😢😢
I lost mine in 2014. Great man. Sounds like your father was also a force for good. Honor him by using what he taught you and strive against this broken, dark world. Stand up and be counted. Make a difference every day right where you are. Teach the same to your children if you have them. This way he will live on through you and his grand children.
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.
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😌
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.
- 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 !
Momma's are very special. Daddy's are too but usually in different ways. You're very fortunate to have come to know Jesus through you're Momma... God Bless 🙏😇❤
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
I lost my grandmother carol December 21st' 2018 I never left her side while she was in the hospital this song still makes me cry I have a butterfly tattoo on my shoulder with her birthday date n when she passed I also have a butterfly necklace with her ashes in it. I just recently lost my father last Mach this year will be my first Christmas with out him 😢
Bless you're heart ❤️ Rest in knowing God has you're Momma now. She will always be looking over you & God by your side. Our Love never leaves & natural emotions are okay and part of our lost loved one's... Especially our Momma & Daddy's!!! 😢😢❤❤ God be with you Always 🙏😇
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.
No !! It never get easier or hurts any less. I loss my mom years ago I was 30 I’m 66 now. Lost my mate of 44 years , 2 years ago. My heart aches every day, I can’t seem to move on, most days I don’t care if I do or not. So no it doesn’t get easier.
I'm so sorry. I feel your pain. May you find peace in knowing she is watching over you. I struggle myself. You never get over it, you just learn to cope. Thoughts to you especially this time of year
It was a great christmas movie i enjoyed it. It made me cry everytime i hear this song. Think of my mother and grandparents on Christmas Day wish i could bring back those days but i cant go back. I cry everyday. It hurts.
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......
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!
😭I understand what are you went through and probably still are, but I los my Dad just in May,2020 to covid this is going to be our second Christmas without him, and it's really hard to see our Mom all dull and with no energy to do anything she just want to keep talking about him, and crying. The most that it hurts her and all of us his children is that we can't even say our goodbyes or God bless 💔 we couldn't even see him for the last time and it hurts soo much. I know is not the same situation but it was your Lovely Mother and our Big Good Fighter Dad. And we both lost a piece of our life. Let them shine high and bright God bless 🙌
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.
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.
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.
I have to listen to this son every year. I would give anything to have my Mom home with me. Although she is a beautiful place with no pain, I feel her with me everyday and Christmas was her favorite time of year and I try to celebrate it enough for the both of us. God hold my mom close for just a moment and tell her I Love her.
Whenever I listen to this it takes one sentence to make me burst. my mom is still here and I appreciate everything she does. I'm really sorry about yours and I hope you're doing ok now
So sorry for your loss. I love this song . The first time I heard it playing 8 years ago on my way home. While listening to the song, tears were flowing from my eyes uncontrollably; I had to pull into a shopping center parking lot and bawled my eyes out.
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
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!
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!
Could not believe the other day when many people said this is the worst Christmas song! I am with you as I cry when I hear it. World isn't the same caring one anymore.
This song is so fucking horrible. What a stupid premise, how does it not make you laugh at how bad it is? Even on her death bed you are more worried about material bullshit
My husband almost died on Christmas Eve with a serious heart attack. They brought him into the operating room at five pm. Five minutes before twelve am my husband was brought into to the ICU. The best present I ever had. This song always brings me to tears. Five years later I still get to spend Christmas with him and every other day too
@@annebartells777 What a wonderful story!! You and your family have been genuinely blessed and have the heart to appreciate it. That is the loving Jesus in action that I was raised to believe in.
me too. Im not perfect nor do I claim to be. I have family I wish would come to Christ. I know their surrounded by the wrong people. Thats what hurts. When it comes time it might be too late for them.
Sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace. Stay strong. My heart goes out to you and your family. I know I don't know you but if you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to message me.
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!!!
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!!! 😇🙏🎄☃️⛄
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
What’s the great message? That material bullshit is important? Maybe spend some time with your dying mom instead of buying her a useless pair of shoes. She is dying, she can’t even walk and who would wear shoes in bed. I’d be pissed if I was dying and someone showed up with a pair of shoes.
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.
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
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....
And Newsong actually wrote this just for the movie and at a live concert there was a boy who actually lost his mom to cancer just like in the movie on Christmas eve and they actually had him come up and sing it with them
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.
This is my favorite Christmas story because it tells the truth about life and what we have to face. Losing a loved one is hard but that is life and we must accept the truth and go on knowing our loved ones are at peace.
This is probably one of the Christmas songs that will make you cry. Every time I hear this song, I get emotional, and I had no idea this was turned into a book and a TV film! It just shows how great the song really is, and that when a stranger does something generous for someone, they have no idea how it touches their heart because you don't know what they are going through. I pray that anyone who is sick or has someone that has lost a loved one during the holidays, I LOVE YOU! And GOD loves you!
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.
The true meaning of Christmas. This has got to be the sweetest thing I have ever seen. I don't see this song as a sad song. It shows us what Christmas is really about. It's about love and giving. Of course, the same goes for the wonderful movie.
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
This was my dad's favorite song. And when I hear it I can actually hear his voice in the song. He sounded just like this. And it breaks my heart every time. He passed in 2019 and he died from cancer. Christmas was his favorite holiday....
Every year I listen to this song and it always brings tears to my eyes. Congratulations for writing this song. To make people feel through music is a great talent
Hadn’t heard this song in awhile. Reminds me of my aunt.. we shared a birthday who passed away from cancer 32 years ago. She used to sing at Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve.. her Ave Maria would bring tears to my eyes just like this song does. It also reminds me of my Mom who passed away in the summer of 2006. She had an old pair of red shoes & even though they weren’t my size I kept them. Thank you for this song. Blessings to all & Happy Holidays.
Okay this song really gets me, my grandma was in a rehab recovering from a fall, and she wasn't home for Christmas so we visited her and this song was playing in the rehab and i saw all these old ppl suffering. Their families forgot about them :(
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.
My aunt, who i was so close to and who was like my second mum, passed in october after a horrible cancer battle. this song describes exactly how i feel about her sickness and death. i miss her so so so much. merry christmas to everyone and i hope everyone one is safe and well ❤️❤️
Emily remember the good memories she was blessed to have you in her life I'm a great aunt if you want to adopt me lol, my nieces and nephews tell me always love them all 😊
I am in the same boat. We lost my aunt and 2nd mom 9-11-13 and all I could think about was if I could have bought her a pair of purple shoes. I cry everytime I hear this song
This is the first time i'm listening to this song ever since my grandmother got diagnosed with bone cancer in 2012 and now I'm sitting here crying, shaking like a leaf on a tree. It's a tradition in my family to listen to this song every year and have never cried listening to it until Christmas 2012. This song holds a lot of memories for me
Started watching this in 09 when mom passed. But now 2 people remind me of it. Had a heart to heart talk with grandpa last Saturday. Saying the doctors giving him 5-6 weeks, at most 2 months before the cancer takes him. Watching last night when she says he's gonna have to let her go remind me of grandpa. He's in so much pain & he's ready to go...but I'm not ready for him to go.
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.😪😪😪
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’m sorry
Bless❤😇🙏🏻
Amen, God is Magnificent!!! Glory to God!!!❤
I lost my mother in November 17th 2021. We got down to Dallas Texas of February that year. I'm glad we made the trip. For she loved it so much.
lost is a good time for me
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!❤
Awww… I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. I hope that you find peace and comfort🙏 Wishing you the best❤️
This song means so much to me I listen to it over and over may God bless you all
My condolences and may God bless
This Christmas will be the first Christmas that my family celebrates since my mother died almost 6 months ago after decades of debilitating illnesses.

My parents are 80 plus young both good health good country living Vermont 🙂

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.
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.
No !! It never get easier or hurts any less. I loss my mom years ago I was 30 I’m 66 now. Lost my mate of 44 years , 2 years ago. My heart aches every day, I can’t seem to move on, most days I don’t care if I do or not. So no it doesn’t get easier.

There no words that anyone can say.
I lost my step dad in 2016 Christmas morning at 10:15 am. Something told me to have him open his presents the night before
🫂❤🩹
This was my mom's favorite song we lost her 2 yrs ago. Song still makes me cry
But your mother's death not so much? Weird.
My condolences

Oh my sweetie, Bless you're heart. Find comfort in knowing they are both resting comfortably in God's hands now... 😢❤🙏 😇
Christmas time again! It's not the gift that matters, it's the spirit of giving.
You can take them shoes back bc they be ugly. Sorry. Plz keep ur $$$ 😧
I just wish people would realize that because God is gonna keep killing Moms with cancer until we do.
@@jackieocean3511 should have made that guy pay for the mother's hospital bills

😭I understand what are you went through and probably still are, but I los my Dad just in May,2020 to covid this is going to be our second Christmas without him, and it's really hard to see our Mom all dull and with no energy to do anything she just want to keep talking about him, and crying. The most that it hurts her and all of us his children is that we can't even say our goodbyes or God bless 💔 we couldn't even see him for the last time and it hurts soo much. I know is not the same situation but it was your Lovely Mother and our Big Good Fighter Dad. And we both lost a piece of our life. Let them shine high and bright
God bless 🙌
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
My Mom passed 3 days after Christmas and although this song makes me cry every time it also keeps her memory alive
My mom past 3 days after Christmas also. It will be 25 yrs ago this year. I feel exactly the same way. God Bless you and Merry Christmas.
@@divinemedspa402 Merry Christmas to you and yours and may God Bless you all!!
On behalf of the astronomical community of San Diego, I am very sorry for your loss.
I’m sorry for your loss
So sorry 😞
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 was crying so bad
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.
Hello
I have to listen to this son every year. I would give anything to have my Mom home with me. Although she is a beautiful place with no pain, I feel her with me everyday and Christmas was her favorite time of year and I try to celebrate it enough for the both of us. God hold my mom close for just a moment and tell her I Love her.
This is making me cry. Such a message of love and the true meaning of Christmas.
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 😭
Whenever I listen to this it takes one sentence to make me burst. my mom is still here and I appreciate everything she does. I'm really sorry about yours and I hope you're doing ok now
I’m sorry for your loss. 🙏🏼❤️
Sorry for your loss
I'll pray for you ❤️
I cry every dang time 😢 😭 Very difficult song for me to listen to but what an incredible message of love. Such a blessing ❤🙏
Thank you Jesus for everything you have blessed me with, amene.
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 !!!
Aww, I'm sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss.
I love this song . The first time I heard it playing 8 years ago on my way home. While listening to the song, tears were flowing from my eyes uncontrollably; I had to pull into a shopping center parking lot and bawled my eyes out.
@@mixzp3823 I absolutely agree one of the most moving holiday songs and the movie was very moving actually it's hard for me to watch !!
@@cjcasey7540 I can only imagine. Continued prayers for you. God bless.
So sorry. I lost my mom in Dec as well it was Dec 7 in 1987. You never forget and shouldn't.
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
Hi 😊
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!
This song touches me, and it makes me feel grateful that my parents are still healthy and the best thing in my life... 💖💖
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!
god is punishing you, stop sinning
It's HORRID. Most beautiful ever? What weird world did you sink into?
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
Hi
You’re so right, Christmas is all about those Shoes!!!!
grow up @@ericlora9912
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…
Ya, this song had me bawling my eyes out
Could not believe the other day when many people said this is the worst Christmas song! I am with you as I cry when I hear it. World isn't the same caring one anymore.
This song is so fucking horrible. What a stupid premise, how does it not make you laugh at how bad it is? Even on her death bed you are more worried about material bullshit
My husband almost died on Christmas Eve with a serious heart attack. They brought him into the operating room at five pm. Five minutes before twelve am my husband was brought into to the ICU. The best present I ever had. This song always brings me to tears. Five years later I still get to spend Christmas with him and every other day too
@@annebartells777
What a wonderful story!! You and your family have been genuinely blessed and have the heart to appreciate it.
That is the loving Jesus in action that I was raised to believe in.
Still listening to this song every Christmas and always brings tears to my eyes!
this song almost made me cry!! :'( I haven't heard it in forever!!!!! I just wish people weren't so blind to the love of Jesus :(
me too. Im not perfect nor do I claim to be. I have family I wish would come to Christ. I know their surrounded by the wrong people. Thats what hurts. When it comes time it might be too late for them.
I'm sorry to hear that. God bless you.
Nicole Sedran thank you very much, God bless you too
This was my mom's favorite Christmas song. She passed away October 3rd..it hits differently now.
Hello friend
I came here after my aunt died today, sorry for your loss ma’am
❤️
Silver lining: you don't have to listen to this song anymore 😜😀😝
Sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace. Stay strong. My heart goes out to you and your family. I know I don't know you but if you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to message me.
Everytime I hear this song, it never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
Same
I hope you enjoy the Shoes while tap dancing with Jesus
Tears of laughter
@@johncook6933ккеллоо😅минь,ylkkkk p
Love this song soo much I’m so grateful for my mom still being around . I also pray me and my boys grow old together. Can’t imagine leaving them
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!!!
Hello Doreen
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
Most touching Christmas song ever! Merry Christmas everyone.
Absolutely
definetly
This song and the teddy bear song by Red Sovine hit me so hard 😭🙏🏼
@@kaitthenurse8982 me to
God bless you!
This song used to pop up on the contemporary Christian music channel I listened to during the holiday season haven't heard it in so many years.
Merry Christmas Everyone! Spread peace, joy, laughter, love and charity this year. We need it now more than ever! ❤️🎄🎅🏻🥛🍪🤟
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!!! 😇🙏🎄☃️⛄
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.
How we should act? “You’d better believe-I already iced one kid’s mom, and I still have an itchy trigger finger.” Which book is THAT from?
I cry every time I hear it . Beautiful and sad
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!
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
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.
I cannot stop the tears. God bless each soul on earth. If you still have your mom, give her an extra hug...for me.
Thank you guys so much for creating Patton's best segment ever!
Who knew Jesus was such a catty bastard!
@@nilus2k Those pumps are unforgivable 😂
I love this Patton bit! As much as a know song is ridiculous and is made to pull heartstrings/ is beyond sappy, it still makes me teary eyes.
So...this kid is a Dickensian street urchin. In a world of hand sanitizer, he's "HAVE YOU GOT A HA'PENNY, SUH? THEN HOW ABOUT A SMILE?"
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
What’s the great message? That material bullshit is important? Maybe spend some time with your dying mom instead of buying her a useless pair of shoes. She is dying, she can’t even walk and who would wear shoes in bed. I’d be pissed if I was dying and someone showed up with a pair of shoes.
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.
This songs always remind me of my late beloved Mama. This always makes me cry remembering her loved for us. Love you MAMA NENE.
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 can TRULY relate. I lost my Mom when I was 9, in 1978. She was only 38 & 8 days.
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....
And Newsong actually wrote this just for the movie and at a live concert there was a boy who actually lost his mom to cancer just like in the movie on Christmas eve and they actually had him come up and sing it with them
I agree... My grown kids mention to me every year they wish it was played more..
Because it’s awful
@@anignorantslut why you listening to it then?
Find your local Christian station. They are playing it now
This song hit me hard this year..my mom had passed from cancer Aug 5 and I just relate to this song big time now...
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.
This is my favorite Christmas story because it tells the truth about life and what we have to face. Losing a loved one is hard but that is life and we must accept the truth and go on knowing our loved ones are at peace.
Omg I’ve never heard this before, SNL really hit the mark!
This is probably one of the Christmas songs that will make you cry. Every time I hear this song, I get emotional, and I had no idea this was turned into a book and a TV film! It just shows how great the song really is, and that when a stranger does something generous for someone, they have no idea how it touches their heart because you don't know what they are going through. I pray that anyone who is sick or has someone that has lost a loved one during the holidays, I LOVE YOU! And GOD loves you!
My mother has always loved this song I lost her in Jan of 2021 to covid it’s so hard to listen to This song now love this song
thats so sad .. we all only have 1 mother and when gone its hard
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.
❤😢
🥰
I always cry when I listen to this song. My mom is in heaven, and I miss her so much. I love you, mom!!
The true meaning of Christmas. This has got to be the sweetest thing I have ever seen. I don't see this song as a sad song. It shows us what Christmas is really about. It's about love and giving. Of course, the same goes for the wonderful movie.
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.
One of my favorite christmas songs. It might be the saddest song ever but its the message
yeah this is one of my fave Chritsmas songs love it sooo much
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. 🥺
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
This was my dad's favorite song. And when I hear it I can actually hear his voice in the song. He sounded just like this. And it breaks my heart every time. He passed in 2019 and he died from cancer. Christmas was his favorite holiday....
reminds me of my mom, . . . miss her. Merry Christmas, mom
Every year I listen to this song and it always brings tears to my eyes. Congratulations for writing this song. To make people feel through music is a great talent
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!
Hadn’t heard this song in awhile. Reminds me of my aunt.. we shared a birthday who passed away from cancer 32 years ago. She used to sing at Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve.. her Ave Maria would bring tears to my eyes just like this song does. It also reminds me of my Mom who passed away in the summer of 2006. She had an old pair of red shoes & even though they weren’t my size I kept them. Thank you for this song. Blessings to all & Happy Holidays.
I listen to this song every year and remember my favorite aunt that passed away
Okay this song really gets me, my grandma was in a rehab recovering from a fall, and she wasn't home for Christmas so we visited her and this song was playing in the rehab and i saw all these old ppl suffering. Their families forgot about them :(
Hello
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.
I tear up, every time. My Mom deserves so much more.
My aunt, who i was so close to and who was like my second mum, passed in october after a horrible cancer battle. this song describes exactly how i feel about her sickness and death. i miss her so so so much. merry christmas to everyone and i hope everyone one is safe and well ❤️❤️
Emily remember the good memories she was blessed to have you in her life I'm a great aunt if you want to adopt me lol, my nieces and nephews tell me always love them all 😊
I am in the same boat. We lost my aunt and 2nd mom 9-11-13 and all I could think about was if I could have bought her a pair of purple shoes. I cry everytime I hear this song
This song still hits my heart everytime.
I haven’t lost either of my parents luckily but I still cry listening to this song
Literally crying having seen this every year, I still can’t help it. Hold those you love close for time will change all!
Still hits you in the feels, all these years after its release. The film is still a seasonal favourite for me.
I've made this movie my yearly tradition along with The Christmas Box & Timepiece.
What movie is thos song from?
I've yet to see the movie I hear it's tearjerking
LOVE THIS SONG I LOST MY MOM IN 1977 TO CANCER I LOVE HER & MISS HER DEARLY
Gullibility is not a good trait.
Moms are the best 😂
That’s the same year my mom was born, luckily I still have her in my life. I’d be lost with out her. ❤❤
just lost my mom to lung cancer Monday , and she loved this song. it brings back so many memories.
I'm so sorry Ashley 💔
On behalf of the astronomical community of San Diego, I am very sorry for your lost.
I'm sorry for your lost Ashley 😢😢
So sorry you lost your mama. She is in heaven, in peace, and watching over you.
Did you get her some shoes?
a time to remember the one we loved the most
Beautiful song. Makes me cry every time. ❤❤❤❤
With laughter?
All together, this is beautiful, sweet, and sad all in one.
This is the first time i'm listening to this song ever since my grandmother got diagnosed with bone cancer in 2012 and now I'm sitting here crying, shaking like a leaf on a tree. It's a tradition in my family to listen to this song every year and have never cried listening to it until Christmas 2012. This song holds a lot of memories for me
Started watching this in 09 when mom passed. But now 2 people remind me of it. Had a heart to heart talk with grandpa last Saturday. Saying the doctors giving him 5-6 weeks, at most 2 months before the cancer takes him. Watching last night when she says he's gonna have to let her go remind me of grandpa. He's in so much pain & he's ready to go...but I'm not ready for him to go.
Hi 😊
This song is sad but sends a good message not everyone is fortunate to have a merry Christmas and happy holidays.
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.😪😪😪
I love this Christmas song. It's so heart felt. I always cry when the child sings at the end.
Tear jerker. This and the movie. Yet, I can't help but love them both.
THIS?! TEAR JERKER?! this was one of the most unintentionally funny, painfully awkward, cliched videos i've ever seen XD
I know this was posted 12 years ago, but this year it means so much more to me. Thank you.
