►LYRICS - Christmas Time's a-Comin'
Christmas time's a-comin'
Christmas time's a-comin'
Christmas time's a-comin'
And I know I'm goin' home
Snowflakes are fallin'
My heart's a-callin'
Tall pines are hummin'
Christmas time's a-comin'
Can't you hear them bells ringin', ringin'?
Joy to all, hear them singin'
When it's snowin' I'll be goin'
Back to my country home
Christmas time's a-comin'
Christmas time's a-comin'
Christmas time's a-comin'
And I know I'm goin' home
White candles burnin'
My heart's yearnin'
For the folks at home when
Christmas time's a-comin'
Can't you hear them bells ringin', ringin'?
Joy to all, hear them singin'
When it's snowin' I'll be goin'
Back to my country home
Christmas time's a-comin'
Christmas time's a-comin'
Christmas time's a-comin'
And I know I'm goin' home
Holly's in the window
Home's where the wind blows
Can't walk for runnin'
Christmas time's a-comin'
Can't you hear them bells ringin', ringin'?
Joy to all, hear them singin'
When it's snowin' I'll be goin'
Back to my country home [x2]

Thank you, Jude!

[@fabrimedeiros9888]

After a tough week I feel blessed to start the Christmas season with The Petersens.

[@chriscoleman8200]

These guys! IF their music weren't so good, IF the vocals weren't so tight (inseparable) because they're all related, IF the cinematography weren't so calming, then you'd STILL be filled with sheer joy at the way they all enjoy and appreciate each other's company! The smiles tell it all. Just another way that the unconditional love of Jesus Christ (when authentic) permeates and fills every part of a believer's live. God is good!

[@sergeyvasiljev5157]

I'm from Russia. I listen to you and cry. You are doing your job well. I adore you. You are not magicians. I hear you with all my body.

[@albertcalloway4840]

Was my dad's favorite Christmas song. Everytime I hear it, I think of him. Sang it with him as a child. We would make one of our twice yearly pilgrimages to "home" in the NC mountains at Christmas time every year. I'm in my 60's now. Precious memories.

[@johnwayne4072]

It's hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner and now without my mom and dad for the first time. Dad passed in August and mom's funeral is tomorrow. God's grace is sufficent for me.

[@tdmehrkens]

Hey John, my heart and prayers are with you. My parents both died within about a year of each other a few years back - life just isn't the same without parents, no matter how old you are. But definitely, God's grace is good, and sufficient.

[@ThePetersens]

I’m so sorry to hear about your parents passing! Can’t even imagine how hard it is to walk through these next couple of months. Praying God continues to show you grace and comfort 🤍 Ellen

Sometimes it easy to forget just how talented matt really is. Between the girls amazing voices and emmetts awesome dobro, matt sometimes gets lost. And i always love the video outros, so funny!!!

[@ThePetersens]

Matt is awesome! Thanks for giving him a shout out :)

[@ShyvanaMontanna]

@@ThePetersens I'm around Matt's age and I've played guitar most of my life aswell, but Matt is so much better than me, he's soooo good! I think you really have to have played guitar yourself to understand how good Matt's strumming and picking really is, I enjoy it ever video! He's also got a great voice, love Amarillo By Morning

[@fredsullivan2777]

Matt is the REAL deal! Great singer, super picker and hilarious with his opening monalogues!

[@Marlowe327]

I love the newer dimension of Matt’s solo songs. He’s a star…

Normally I can't handle Christmas music at all, but the Petersen's can even make Christmas songs sound good. I've lost count of how times I've played this video.

[@pressedearth9492]

I love the part of America that brought us this amazing assemblage of musicians. Ya'll always lift my spirits. Merry Christmas Petersens

Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪 great performance 🎭

[@donnahowell8995]

Loved the music. Reminds me of my family. We were all musical and would have some of the best bluegrass and southern gospel music when we all got together around the holidays. Unfortunately they are all gone on now and I am the only one left. I guess I live in the past listening to y'all. Brings back so many memories. God bless you all, you bring a lot of happiness to my life....Doug

Watched It Several Times & Yes, It Is Great, Wonderful & Lovely As Always. More To Come........Goodnight To U All. Thanks.

[@WellingtonNZdojo]

The classical guitarist comes out in Matt. Although a proud Country & Western artist to most fans, Glen Campbell refuted claims that he was pure country and western saying he had played backing on a number of pop and rock artists chart toppers in his early years. Remember him also playing the William Tell Overture on his guitar with an orchestra in his later years

[@yangho8]

I'm living in 2 different worlds - real world and the Petersens world.

Petersen world is the real world. Turn off the news friend. The news is not interested in the The Way, The Life, and The Truth. :))

[@jimmymorgan520]

@@peanutbear Amen to that. There is still a lot of Love and Hope. It's a Spiritual Battle. No fear, no anger. Love will always win, and there is peace as we're in the world, but not of the world. The Petersens make a peaceful part in the world, not of the world. Thanks for the reality check.
