my birthday is two days before christmas , born in 58. christmas in my world just does not exist without hearing and seeing dolly singing hard candy christmas.I say this with no ill will intended, I love you. you rock my world every december 23rd and beyond. thank you,
Listening to this song on Christmas Day 2019 to help deal with having lost my husband five days ago at 36 to brain cancer... all I wanted was to hear this song to help my heart heal. And then I just happened to look at the upload date and it's the day we got married, same year and everything. I know he's with me today. Thank you for this.
I know what you mean. This my daughter's favorite Christmas song. She was killed in a car wreck. I miss her so. He dad died a year and a half later of lung cancer that metastasized to the brain. I love this song even though I am crying as I write this. Bless you
Sometimes Christmas brings hard news...a cancer diagnosis and the having to go back on chemotherapy 22 years later. But, thanks to better drugs, I will indeed be fine and dandy.
I'm so sorry for your loss just those words breaks my heart one day you will be in heaven with him ... I love all of Dolly Parton music amazing singer beautiful she is lost my babysister kim 2days before Christmas was 32 she was murder I lost my dad to cancer in 2018 had just turned 93 i pray for all who have lost a love one hope you have a bless Merry Christmas
I never get tired of this song. Dolly Parton is a beautiful lady and a great human being. The world is a better place for having Dolly Parton and people like her in it.
Dolly is the best! I always read the comments people write and Dolly Parton is the only person where not one negative comment is written. In today's negative society that speaks volumes of Dolly's greatness. She deserves many thanks!
@wahoofan5375; Beautiful fish Wahoo. I know this comes 2yrs later but I want you to know that I hope you found a ray of sunshine and it helped you to push away from the drink and pull yourself up out of depression. I know all to well it is debilitating. Ok I'm in it now myself. Again, I hope you're well tonight. You are loved.
I heard this song on the radio yesterday. I was looking for the lyrics when I found this TH-cam channel. It’s surprising how it resonates with wives who have lost husbands to brain diseases. Yesterday was my oldest daughter’s 17th birthday, which should have been a completely wonderful day, but there is always a dark cloud looming over our heads, especially at Christmas. My husband is in a nursing home because of Young Onset Dementia. The man I fell in love with and married is gone, there is just a person that resembles him left. It is constant grieving that never ends! Dementia is a horrible disease that isn’t just about memory loss. Many patients stop having empathy for loved ones and only care about themselves. They don’t care how their actions affect others. This happens in early stages long before they forget who their family members are. A couple months after he was diagnosed, I asked him if he wanted help to get Christmas gifts for our kids. His response was…”Are they going to get me presents?” He was still working at this point. He treated his customers better then his family. That isn’t how a parent should think or act! He has hurt my children so deeply with his actions and words, that I finally had to limit contact to prevent anymore emotional scars. His cell phone has birthday reminders, but he just ignored it. He cared more about his cell phone yesterday then his daughter. I’m sorry for venting. My thoughts go out to everyone here who has lost someone or is hurting for other reasons. I hope that time has been kind and allowed them to heal in some way. Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas.
I wish I could have an opportunity to know this amazing woman! She is beautiful, smart, and so very talented. A truly good person, I hear! I'd love to learn it for myself. I love you Dolly!
@@ladivinapr I don't listen to country music either. But to me, Dolly Parton always seemed so nice and regular and down to earth. Thanks for listening and Happy Holidays 😊
The Lady Dolly of Country. This is one of my favorite Christmas songs but then I'm a Red Dirt Road girl from Georgia. My dawg and I are sending Country Christmas Wishes to All! The world needs the joy of Christmas and family everyday of every year! Giving peace a chance down here.
You’ll get over it. My father assumed room temperature 19 years ago. It took two weeks to move on. People die. We’re all gonna get clipped. Crying about it is a waste of time
This will always bring me back to my family back when I was a kid. A lot of the family has passed on now or moved and those memories are so real when I hear this song!
JOHN ORMAN; BLESS U AS U GO THRU THE HOLIDAYS & AFTER. IT'S SO HARD.2 BE ALONE FOR THEM. I HAVE BEEN NOW FOR 21 YEARS. MY EX WALKED OUT ON ME THO. STILL LOVE & MISS HIM THO. I HOPE U FIND SOME JOY IN SOME WAY. GOD BLESS YOU.
This song reminds me of my childhood, my grandmas house this song playing on the record player. Sobbing 😭 time does not wait for anyone having a hard time this year realizing my kids are grown up and me and my husband are getting older. My parents are getting up there and I'm so grateful to have them still with us
Hello Dolly Parton love this beautiful song look like you're in the mall wow beautiful though decorations everywhere yeah God bless you and thank you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎄☃️🎁🙏💋💋😘🥰💖💖
One of my favorite songs is Hard Candy Christmas sung by Ms. Parton. She is one of my favorite singers . Because when she sing she sing from the heart.
Got the chance to see her in Dollywood. Just pops in from time to time to see the guests and employees. Such a great soul and done so much for the Smokey Mountains. Truly never let money or fame go to her head. Love ya dolly!
my husband has a life-ending illness and just listening to this brings me to tears. When you know your beloved has days...? weeks? it makes everything so damned bittersweet, yet I have that chance to say and do what I have to NOW while he still can hear it.
@@GenevieveThornton Thank you! Yes, many,many better year's. I, got divorced in 1998 and remarried in 2015. To a really, wonderful man. Thank you again, you are so kind.
I'm in my 80s now but this song always brings tears, the meager times, simple gifts, usually handmade & my prayers that Daddy would stay sober! Seems Christmas brought out the worst in him; hard on us but now I just pray he's @ peace as I know in my heart he was a good man with a tortured ❤️. The longer I live the more I learn to forgive! ❤️☘️🌹
In my opinion, Dolly is one of the few Country Music talents that I consider absolutely timeless. One other artist that comes to mind is the late GREAT George Jones.
I was born in 76. Sometime in early 80s we had a cassette of Dolly's Greatest Hits. Listened to it over and over. This song was on it. But my cousin and I would cry and cry with Me and Little Andy 😭
This always has been my favorite song dolly parton has song IT'S always torn me up inside for many different ways from past loves who've passed away from very very painful problems I'm dealing with now DOLLY PARTON. is one of very few people who've NEVER FORGOTTEN where she came from ( NOTHING dirt floors no food for days on end no money ) always believed in herself & prayed always & remembered everyone when she got lucky enough to hit the stars most never do she's one of very very few people who's stayed true never thinking she's better than everyone else DOLLY PARTON remembers what it's like to hurt be hungry scared MANY don't have any idea how much she's done for strangers she really is for everyone she's defended gay people by interfering with people brutality & verbally assaulting them she loves everyone !!!! I love you Ms Dolly Parton
one of my favorite country Christmas songs. The Christmas songs today seem to have no feelings compared to the songs from when I was a kid like this song.
I love this song . i love dolly seen her in concert twice. A beautiful woman and entertainer.. She has a big heart of gold look what she did gave a million dollars for the vacine what a beautiful soul . love her .god bless you dolly . your a angel.💜💜💜💜
Only dolly could make this song mean so much ❤love you dolly and thank you so very much for all you have done for east Tn may god continue to bless you a fan for life
This song reminds so much of my grandma, she passed away when I was gonna be 16. Christmas was her holiday. I try not cry, she was the glue to our family.😭💔 We love you and miss you Grammie
It’s been a very hard year for me, health wise...first I go through months of pain, then I have back surgery, and just when I think I’m getting better, I start having awful pain again. And now, I’m facing another back surgery coming up in the new year..😞..and then my husband has an emergency appendectomy, his appendix came close to bursting. But still..”I won’t let sorrow bring me way down”...We will keep trusting and having faith in God..I know there’s others way worse off than me, and I am saying prayers for all of them too, along with prayers for my husband and myself..God Bless all, and a Merry Christmas.
She is the Queen of Country Music, a major Superstar! I love her for her genuine sweetness, and kindness that permeates her soul! Dolly has blessed us with her singer/songwriter magic over the years. I'm glad for her (as I am for Tina Turner), in that she got away from shackles, and caught a rocket to the moon! Bless you ladies. you deserve all the greatness and wealth achieved over your careers! God Bless!
My mom used to love me to sing this song for her We love you and miss you momma Rest easy in heaven and you are My guardian angel and tell mamaw I love her and miss her 🥰
OMG!!!!!!Dolly Parton is a true Angel and the most beautiful person with the most pure and simply beautiful soul that I have ever seen on a person in this whole entire corrupted place that we call the world that we live in.When God made her he broke the mold for sure!!!!!!
I love love love this song. I play it not just at Christmas but throughout the years for as long as I can remember. Many people have never heard of it and I wish she would perform it more often and have Christmas specials every year. I love her she's the best! Merry Christmas everyone!
Who doesn't love Dolly and her music.
I judge a person by if they love or don't love Dolly. Only potential friends love Dolly.
3 days before Thanksgiving 2023... yes I'm here and getting in the Christmas spirit.

2021. will be the first Christmas without my mom who passed a few months ago... This song and family are helping me get through it.
RIP to your Mom
Battling the bottle and depression this season, as many of us are, and man does this song hit home this year.
Permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Don’t go there

That is for sure! Dolly one of a kind!

I've suffered some losses recently and feeling sorrow this Christmas. I kept hearng this song in my head. Thank you, Miss Dolly!
Can't hear this one without thinking of Christmas 1986. Listened to this with tears streaming down my face. Man, that was a tough year.
This was a source of inspiration for me several years ago during a very difficult holiday season. Dolly is a national treasure.
One of my fav country singers. Remember her tv show . love her movies
How can you not love Dolly?
I have no clue how anyone could possibly 'thumbs down' Dolly!
I was thinking the same thing!! How can anyone not love this woman. Happy Holidays!!
ladycayte thank you! We love her humble, extra totally a woman and a star!
I was thinking the same thing!! And I dont even like or listen to country music. She's awesome!!

My heart hurts so much.
I miss you mama.
You’ll get over it.
My father assumed room temperature 19 years ago.
It took two weeks to move on.
People die. We’re all gonna get clipped.
Crying about it is a waste of time

I saw her perform twice. What a talented, beautiful soul ❤️
I did, too.. First time with Porter Waggoner.
I'd love to see some of the great ladies of Country do this song with Dolly
A true American Icon of hope and true grit.
I was born in 76. Sometime in early 80s we had a cassette of Dolly's Greatest Hits. Listened to it over and over. This song was on it. But my cousin and I would cry and cry with Me and Little Andy 😭
