This Christmas – Donny Hathaway

No Christmas song list is complete without this one. For me, this is THE Christmas song I heard when my family actually gathered around the Christmas tree with presents. Every time I hear it, it takes me back there. Penned in 1970, it was an instant classic. It has been remade countless times, but the original is always the best.

Lyrics courtesy of Metrolyrics:

Hang all the mistletoe
I’m gonna get to know you better, this Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it’s gonna be together, this Christmas

Fireside is blazing bright
We’re caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be a
Very special Christmas for me

Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you, this Christmas
And as I look around
Your eyes outshine the town they do, this Christmas

Fireside is blazing bright
We’re caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be a
Very special Christmas for me, yeah

Shake a hand, shake a hand now

The fireside is blazing bright
We’re caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be a
Very special Christmas for me, yeah

Hang all the mistletoe
I’m gonna get to know you better, this Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it’s gonna be together, this Christmas

The fireside is blazing bright
We’re caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
Very special Christmas for me

Merry Christmas
Shake a hand, shake a hand now
Wish your brother Merry Christmas
All over the land now, yeah

Merry Christmas
