I hope you had fun!🙂

[@stewpullan5961]

It isn't christmas without this album!

[@bonnie_wilson]

I'm young, and not many people my age like this stuff anymore. It's incredibly sad. I'm also a choir kid and have sung in a christian choir since I was in 7th grade, so maybe that has something to do with it. I just love this stuff. I owe my parents the reason I even know about Michael W. Smith. This is just awesome music. Wow.

[@jbj6495]

You should give Rich Mullins a listen. You just might like his music as well :)

[@lordvader8981]

I am 17 I started playing piano in November did my first song for my church today Michael W. Smith is my favorite artist and I love this song! You have good taste in music👍

[@bonnie_wilson]

[@KatieWright01]

I'm 30 and I love this guys music grew up in the mid to late 90s listening to Michael W Smith he's just absolutely amazing artist

[@jacksammons7031]

I’ve been listening to this since I was 10 or 11 and I’m now 21 and this is one of my favorite songs to listen to around Christmas time

[@robadams5799]

He cleans up nice. According to Michael W. Smith's website, he's been playing piano since he was five years old.

[@Neddy52]

Ronn Huff was our choir director in Akron OH. I sang in groups with him since junior high. His wife Donna was my piano teacher and my inspiration. Michael W Smith was in WV when my husband was a pastor in Barboursville!! TALENT and Praise to the FATHER!! Thank you God for these two amazing artists and their music!

[@JoaniePio]

Gives me goosebumps every time I hear this!!!

[@nextwave1234567]

I haven't seen this since it aired but vividly remember seeing it and not being impressed before I realized how great an artist and worshipper Smitty is and how DIFFICULT and intricate this song is to perform live. Who else would do that in front of a live tv auduence for the President!? Merry Christmas and thanks so much for the post. cant wait to show my brother.

[@pamelabenton1009]

His grandmother was a great teacher of piano to him! He has many Christmas songs out now.. Freeze the Frame is a fav he released

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

Sounds Great. Thank you Michael W. Smith a native West Virginian, from Kenova, WV. PRAISE GOD

[@tophermagellan6017]

The best Christmas song ever... Michael W smith MR Christmas

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

Beautiful song and great voice. Michael W. Smith is a native West Virginian, from Kenova, WV, we are so proud of him.

[@MarthaStout0202]

I read lips due to my profound hearing loss. She's saying "Wonderful."

[@johngillespie3994]

Michael W. Smith is truly talented truly amazing.

[@sinjin405]

I saw him at Carnegie Hall in January 2013. He did this song with a choir of 100. It was incredible.

[@Finchvideos1988]

Such a young Michael! And everyone else there was much younger as well. :) A beautiful piece and glorious sound of praise.

[@shawnlusby1538]

That mullet was glorious too! Lol 😂

[@robadams5799]

"Everyone else there was much younger as well." Funny how that works.

[@pamelabenton1009]

Michael, Im so proud of you. I'm thankful you had such great parents and grandparents. I remember when you were so excited when you were getting ready to do your first Christmas album, which was this one! Keep giving us great music Michael!

[@christineanderson8961]

[@SoldierForChrist98]

WOW george and Barbra bush look very young! :P

[@askim925]

Wow when I was only three years old.

[@ИннаРасулова-ш4н]

🙏👍❤️❤️❤️

[@frankpruden2778]

😊😊😊😊😊

[@janets132003]

Wow was he young!

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

32 years old, he was born in 1957. He's from Kenova, WV. West Virginia is so proud of him.

[@janebellmyer5238]

That looks like Eastern High School on the choir robes! Cool!

[@penguinpc]

Respect the mullet! Love Smitty!

[@billwoods9321]

He sang this on the CMA Christmas this year

[@christopherlh4379]

And in comparison to THIS performance... it was TERRIBLE! It pains me to say, but I was very disappointed. Smitty seemed uptight, his voice was rather nasal sounding, almost to the point of being cartoonish, and Amy seemed like she was just phoning in her performance, like her heart just wasn't in it.

[@continuallyblessed44]

I love the piano in this song.

[@MizaelMRuiz]

Mee too

[@jackson5116]

Nice mullet!

[@kennyduthie8264]

Was that Barbara and George H.W. Bush in the audience?

[@bobbennett2602]

Yes! :)

[@peabody66]

Rest in Peace George and Barbara Bush.

[@halfdome5705]

This is from a 1989 NBC special, "Christmas in Washington," with the Bush family in row 1.

[@mikenorthern1024]

Yes, he was very close to the late Bush family and Graham family.

[@sandraschaff2956]

Yes. They were really good friends. He sang at his funeral.

[@MarkSentMe]

Jane Bellmyer...if you expand the screen, the robes DO say Eastern High School on the robes! COOL!

[@cdrocksify]

I agree what a suit that is!LOL

[@lucianasantos2984]

2019

[@juniorbulhoes4121]
