This song always reminds me of my older brother who's in the army and my sister who's in the navy. The past four years they were deployed oversees and I hadn't seen them for the holidays. This year I wasn't expecting to see either of them. They both just showed up on the doorstep and I can't explain how happy I was. I hadn't seen them since I was about 13 for an extended period of time. Seeing my brother and sister is the best thing I got this year. I can't explain how amazing it is. I still can't wrap my head around the fact they are home and least of all home for the holidays. Thank you for your service to all the men and women serving out country. Stay safe and God bless you. Happy holidays. I love you Jordan and Spence 💖💖
His music is like the days of ole' - when there are actual words in the song - and just three that are repeated over and over and over again and again. Lyrics that rhyme, words that touch the hearts of all who hear, music as it was meant to be. This song, to me, will be my "White Christmas", "Winter Wonderland", Silent Night - you know, classics... God Bless, keep God in your heart, eyes on Jesus and keep the faith....cause God keeps producing His glorious children, like Matthew West...may He keep you and your family nestled in His arms now and forever...
This song touched my heart and inner soul....”For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”.
I heard this for the first time the other day on the radio. I work for the Salvation Army and not only was I touched by the mention of it on the song, but because I was driving around town collecting kettle money. It deepened my joy that people give! Also, all the things in the song teared me up and I remembered all the good things of the season that are hard to enjoy because of stress and busyness. Thank you for this song, Matthew West! God bless you!
Amen! The greatest gift of Love is the One being born! Emmanuel - God with Us...The greatest gift of all! He came that we might have life! May this Christmas be the Christmas people believe this truth & in the Truth! Merry Christmas!
I miss you Aunt Doris ! Enjoy your first Christmas in heaven! Thank you for showing me how much you loved Jesus ! Thank you for loving me and my family and excepting my husband into our family! Thank you for those memories and moments!
She always greeted us with a smile and a hug! Oh how I wish I could have that hug one more time! But your having the best Christmas ever! Jesus hold her till we get there! Merry Christmas!
I use to help my grandpa decorate for Christmas.he is the one that helped me get over my fear of getting off the top step of the latter to get on top of the house to help put up lights around the edge of it.each year I inched my way further and further till I was leaning over the edge helping him hook the lights with no fear at all.and i use to have fear all the time of the top of the house. Christmas makes me sad because I miss him so much.he passed away in 2002
Sitting here with this masterpiece on repeat. Tears streaming down my face as once again Matthew seems to be singing directly to my heart and soul, just when I truly need it most. On so many levels this song touches me. In both happy and sad ways. Bless You Matthew West! And each of you here taking in and appreciating this God given beautiful gift among gifts.
Sad! I know how you feel. My Grandpa fought a 2 month cancer battle and then died in the end of November :( We thought we would have just one more Christmas with him.
Thank you everyone! I needed this to come back to my grandma is now in heaven and this will be the first Christmas thanksgiving birthday etc (she passed in February 2022 ) ❤😢💔
This Christmas song reminds me of my Dad, and my younger brother who have both passed away. Christmas without them is not the same. My Christmas wish is they both are in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And one day we will be reunited
This song is stunningly beautiful in all it's thoughtfulness and meaning :) There's many people who have lost loved ones, while others are coming back "home". There's a lot of memories of which we hold in fondness and want to hold onto forever, hoping one day to create those with a family and others. One of my favorite things to experience was my Grandfather reading from his bible as warmth filled the air with each word he spoke. For me this is especially powerful because my family dealt with a lot of troubling issues, but love, understanding, forgiveness, and grace pulled us through over time. I can't thank my grandparents and other family members enough for being my guiding light by showing God's love and what the true meaning of Christmas is. This song echoes that in many wondrous ways :)
As I go through the penitential season of Advent assessing my life I am still amazed at the idea of Incarnation, the idea of an all powerful God becoming a help,ess human infant showing that God loved me so much He would rather die then live without me!
What a lovely song. You touched all the Christmas traditions in one song. I'll play it again and again this Christmas season and think of you and your girls. Aunt Barbara
Only heard this beautiful song for the first last month. It was playing in the background in a christmas movie, which i cant remember the name of. Now the song is a favourite.
I have to listen to this song because I am singing it in church lol.But this song is actually pretty wonderful.Also I miss you grandma rip.This song is wonderful very cool,amazing,and just so touching
Just listened to this song for the first time again this Christmas season. I love EVERY SINGLE THING about this song. Every word captures what Christmas is about just perfectly.
Song reminded me of my childhood Christmas.. I just heard it in the K Love Christmas stream and bought tears with mix of joy.. Wanted to hear one more time.. Thank you for the beautiful song and the hope which it can give to the broken hearts... Merry Christmas Sir..
Keerthan Karkada It's such a beautiful song, so moving and so meaningful as indeed are all of Matthew West's songs. I suggest that you also listen to his songs The Heart of Christmas and Give This Christmas Away.
Are you my friend? Then, you have to be a friend. Not love me, but more than love. Ha ha...i am happy to be an important friend of you and you are in my life. Do we create troubles?
My mom has no desire to put up a Christmas Tree because my parents are losing their house in the spring and she really do not want to celebrate Christmas this year because 😢😢😢😢😢
Hallelujah we believe in Christmas? Well that’s highly questionable, not to mention what he means by Christmas is not Christ, it’s about the feelings of the season.
C. Martinez. God Created All Things Even You ! This Is The Meaning Of Christmas And If I Wasn’t For Him You Would Not Be Here ! I Hope One Day You Will See The Lord Jesus Christ Is The Only Way To Heaven When This Life End’s!
Thank you Jesus 2024🎉 merry Christmas .
Matthew West's Specialty is Preparing us for the Holiday Joys Ahead, or at least the Hope of a Christmas we as Believers Hope For....

Thank you Matthew West for this song and for Jesus Christ for being there for all of us!!

It is not about Santa... It's about the birth of our God, Jesus Christ :')
This song touched my heart and inner soul....”For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”.

AMEN Sister God bless you.
I am sure not a lot of people listen to Christmas music in August, but man I can't wait for Christmas!
I do :)
I love this song !
Lara P Dude!!! Your comment is from 2 years ago, just saw it and I’m listening to this in August too!
I did while drinking hot cocoa with candy cane in it
This Christmas song captures the essence of Christmas. Christmas should be celebrated longer in America like other countries.
Why online in America ?
This song has so much more meaning this year. Especially the part, "It's an empty seat at the table to remember who we miss."
I love this song, thank you Mathew West! I do believe in our Savior Jesus Christ! Happy Birthday Jesus!
Amen... absolutely agree
A Christmas to believe in - an answered prayer
Amen! The greatest gift of Love is the One being born! Emmanuel - God with Us...The greatest gift of all! He came that we might have life! May this Christmas be the Christmas people believe this truth & in the Truth! Merry Christmas!
I miss you Aunt Doris ! Enjoy your first Christmas in heaven! Thank you for showing me how much you loved Jesus ! Thank you for loving me and my family and excepting my husband into our family! Thank you for those memories and moments!
She always greeted us with a smile and a hug! Oh how I wish I could have that hug one more time! But your having the best Christmas ever! Jesus hold her till we get there! Merry Christmas!
This song always remind me of my late grandparent's, now they rest in heaven. I'm happy for them...
Beautiful song. That describe the true lord jesus birthday. Merry Christmas to all the Christ followers
OH DEAR LORD!!😢
MAYBE NEXT YEAR.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!!
🎇🎄🎉🎅💋💋
This brought a slight flood to the eyes, thinking back to when our two girls were just little chickens in our home 💕💕
That song really made my heart ❤️ proud
Amen happy sweet December Jesus Christ love you all Amen 🙏🏻

This makes me think of my father... RIP papa
