I watched this in the '70s. I was so young than. I get so emotional, I cry. What a precious gift that our Father sent to us. All He wants is our love and obedience. Not much to ask with All He has given us. Thank you Father and Jesus for your sacrifice. I love You!
I saw this animation in the early 70-s when i was a child. And now when i am 64 is still get tears to my eyes when i see this clip en around the hollidays i let my four grandchildren watch this and tell them why their grandfather gets tears in his eyes and i tell them about the birth of a child that is a symbol of peace. My oldest grandson is 9 en now he understands what peace means and we talk about it. So thank you for posting this it helps me to tell my grandchildren about peace, understanding and learning from each other.
As a little boy who was sexually abused by my father, this song touched me, I asked for the album that Christmas, I was 10 I knew something was wrong, just didn`t understand, I`m 64 now, alone, broke and the world's biggest fool, some things we don`t recover from in this life. That hope must be for the life to come and the Great Father and His only begotten Son.
I too think of this song as 1 of the best Christmas Carols and play it every year NOT SAD … rejoicing that the lil drummer boy had very little however he give his best
This is one of my favorite Christmas songs, and it's my older brother's favorite. It touches our hearts every time. We always listen to it every year at Christmastime. When I hear it, tears well up in my eyes.
I remember the VHS, but I don't remember the name of it. But I also remember that it had songs from the movies, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, Santa Claus is coming to town, Frosty the snowman, and the little drummer boy. But once again, I can't remember the name of the VHS. Can you tell me what it's called?
@@dr.einstein3102 I remember these classic shows airing at Christmas time on TV...I can't for the life of me remember which channel played them though. I'm 32 years old and remember my dad telling me that he remembers watching these specials on TV when he was a kid, so they are clearly Old classics ❤. Brings back many beautiful childhood memories. 🥰
The Little Drummer Boy is hands down one of my favorite Christmas movies also with Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer, Nestor The Long Eared Donkey and Santa Clause Is Coming To Town.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I'm 53 and I remember watching this every year at my grandmother's house. I couldn't wait till the end, just to hear this song. Merry Christmas everyone!
This was back when the christmas shows were fantastic!!!!! Back before dvds and you had to wait a whole year just to see it again. This and Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer were what I looked forward to the most. Wasn't this done with stop motion or puppets? I kinda forgot.
John 1 11-12 He came to which was his own but his own did not receive him,but to those who did receive him, he has given them the right to be come children of god.
Me either, Shay mc Shay.....just incredible.....and in all the chaos and panic I've been in, the exhaustion and vigils and fear and on and on, how incredible that there is a song like this to put it all in perspective, eh?
This video makes me cry. Same as I did as a child when I watched this on tv. Whether people believe in this story doesn't matter , it's a message of hope. Something we could all learn from.
To me, This is a very powerful song that touches my heart deeply. the lyric, "I played my best for Him" so profound! as an artist by trade, i thank God for everything with as pure of a heart as i can muster up, my best.
When I was a kid in Elementary school i loved tis song so much that I learned the words. I sung this song all over the house. My mom loved to hear me sing it.
Thank you heavenly father for your son Jesus and for your sons mercy to get up on that cross and to live life the way he did that we may get to know your peace .
I'm a catholic, but i didnt believe that jesus christ was born on 25th of December, it was written in catholoc encyclopedia 25th of Decmber is a celebration for the Pagan of Rome (their God). But evry time i heared this songs the true meaning of christmas will i always understand, sharing, giving and love for each other. Thank you papa and mama we love u.
You are right re. Jesus' birth date, etc. It's very unfortunate & disturbing how the world warps the 'truth'. When other people celebrated their b-days in the Bible things went very wrong. Jesus never said remember my b-day. We're to remember his sacrifice with emblems of bread & wine as he instructed. I like to remember his coming in the flesh, life, death, resurrection and presence at the right hand of God every day instead.
I love this song very much that make feel great inside and happily,I wish someday I can sing to all my family’s Thank You for being Lyrics to know very words.Merry Christmas to Everyone on this earth and other side of Heaven
Even though this song is related to Christmas, I listen to it all through the year. I celebrate the birth of Jesus every day. Thank you for your son GOD.
I remember this coming on as part of the Christmas cartoon line-up back in the 80's. I would watch it while helping set up the Christmas tree and my mom would make cinnamon tea for me and, my brothers.
What will you offer the baby Jesus this Christmas? Something simple, maybe just a smile. Baby Jesus would accept that, except He would ask you to give that smile to someone who needs it.
When asked about my favorite Xmas song...no thought, I peacefully and serinly respond....the Little Drummer Boy... My feelings and memories of this old classic.. I suppose.. was being a child and having a child in a special roll was relatable and remains so
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." -Matthew 5:8✝️

I’m crying now.
@@hawhee So am I 😢❤
Amen
Still my all time favorite
Don’t you know there’s already a Sequel to this special? It was called “The Little Drummer Book II” and I would recommend it to anyone
I saw this animation in the early 70-s when i was a child. And now when i am 64 is still get tears to my eyes when i see this clip en around the hollidays i let my four grandchildren watch this and tell them why their grandfather gets tears in his eyes and i tell them about the birth of a child that is a symbol of peace.

Yep,,,me too.
It's the deeper meaning here, it's about our imperfect gifts given with all our heart.
he played his best for him then he smiled at him... katherine kennicot did such a wonderful job on this
As a little boy who was sexually abused by my father, this song touched me, I asked for the album that Christmas, I was 10
I knew something was wrong, just didn`t understand, I`m 64 now, alone, broke and the world's biggest fool, some things we don`t recover from in this life. That hope must be for the life to come and the Great Father and His only begotten Son.
I always feel the message here is the gift of a poor boy who is giving the best he has is treasured far above silver and gold.
This song brings tears to my eyes from feeling the love and joy of Jesus!!!! 🙏🏾😘🤗😭
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Amen
I am God
And Miss Greer Garson as the storyteller 😊
🙏🙏💯🫶
My absolutely favorite Christmas carol. It still makes me cry....I love you LORD JESUS. Thanks for sending our only begotten son to save us.
Crying now. And I'm waiting for a call to say my 1st drum kit is ready for pick up! Thank you Jesus for your perfect love & perfect gifts!
Same hear ❤
Me too
I too think of this song as 1 of the best Christmas Carols and play it every year NOT SAD … rejoicing that the lil drummer boy had very little however he give his best
The writer of this is a genius.
Love is everything. We are nothing without it. God bless all.

Truly, One of the Greatest Christmas Stories, Ever Told.

There is such a regal splendor in this rendition of this song. It always tugs at my heart strings.
My LORD! I have no gifts to bring you! But only my drum.! I cry. The most beautiful Christmas song who touches our heart.
I'm 53 and I remember watching this every year at my grandmother's house. I couldn't wait till the end, just to hear this song. Merry Christmas everyone!
Yupp Same here! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, I also loved to watched when I was a kid!

Well said
Christmas will always be about our lord and savior Jesus Christ 🎄🙏🌟

Me either, Shay mc Shay.....just incredible.....and in all the chaos and panic I've been in, the exhaustion and vigils and fear and on and on, how incredible that there is a song like this to put it all in perspective, eh?
We had the most adorable Christmas specials when I was a child. Love them.
This video makes me cry. Same as I did as a child when I watched this on tv. Whether people believe in this story doesn't matter , it's a message of hope. Something we could all learn from.
One of my all-time favorite Christmas songs
Will always make me cry. I loved it all my life
Always makes me cry as well. Always tugs at my heartstrings 😭😭
I love you Jesus and thank you for everything you’ve done for me!! 🙏🏻
makes me cry its so sad that everyone has forgotten the reason
Not everyone, God always has a remnant.
Not all!!
The one gift we can instill in our kids before we leave this earth is Love and compassion
Will always and forever be my favorite. Tears every time.
It never fails to brings tears of joy into my old seaman's eyes...
One of my favorites my whole life Happy birthday Jesus ❤Thank you for your sacrifice
How could anyone not like this ? And if you dont ? Move along and dont be negative, think about it , he had no gift so he sang the song, Hello
He was a drummer....not a singer. Even HE doesn't know where the voices came from, but he played with them anyway....
To me this is the best Christmas song ever it always touches my heart!!
Elvi Ochoa same here very heart felt thank God for Jesus
To me, This is a very powerful song that touches my heart deeply. the lyric, "I played my best for Him" so profound! as an artist by trade, i thank God for everything with as pure of a heart as i can muster up, my best.
As a flutist I understand 100%
Brings back such beautiful memories
Can you imagine the love you'd feel if baby Jesus smiled at you?...
+Mia Smith it just warms my heart! :)
I was just thinking that exact same thought. Made me smile and cry.
Bless the LORD for He lives forever and ever!
Amen my favorite verse of the song as well

I was born to this tune and I always thought of my ways of adventuring those paths even if they are plain and quiet places this fills my heart amen
