This Christmas – Donny Hathaway<\/strong><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Lyrics courtesy of Metrolyrics:<\/p>\n Hang all the mistletoe Fireside is blazing bright Presents and cards are here Fireside is blazing bright Shake a hand, shake a hand now<\/p>\n The fireside is blazing bright Hang all the mistletoe The fireside is blazing bright Merry Christmas Merry Christmas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pj1mVUEHeUE[\/youtube] This Christmas – Donny Hathaway No Christmas song list is complete without this one.
