[@proninjagaming7776]

Every time I hear this lady play and sing, the same question comes to mind.......how is she not a huge star? I don't get it.

[@carlessgay1776]

Steve Weiss she will be.

[@piscesx5603]

ProNinjaGaming 777: That industry that makes one a "huge star" chews up talented people and destroys them. They sell their souls, like Katy Perry did, to be a star. Be glad that we have Mean Mary to ourselves. :-)

[@KevinSchwinkendorf]

And she is becoming a bigger star all the time - all on her own (with a little help from her family). But, it goes to show that if you're bursting with real talent, and work hard, you can succeed even without "the industry". I think she's the most talented musician in the world today, but the fact that she's "self-made" makes me respect her even more.

[@bartholomewblack33]

She is!

[@JohnShinn1960]

@@piscesx5603 yep.

[@johngoodman616]

Whatever this girl makes giving a concert is not nearly enough-she is priceless

[@sasquatreyz3841]

Mary, you will go down in the music history books as one of the genius, masterful singer/songwriters and musicians with the likes Gordon Lightfoot, your millions of fans already recognize that. Love to you Mean Mary.

[@Me2Lancer]

A great comparison!

[@williamnepveux8489]

It doesn't have to be Christmas to listen to this fantastic song.

[@steve1962]

This girl is up there with the best of em, in all but fame.

[@tracejohnson204]

Wow! I cannot find one song of Marys that is not fantastic!! This lady makes the world a better place with her music.

[@northyorkweltdienstllc3454]

"With my voice I can make the bells ring" ........... so true !

[@kirbonite]

one of the best xmas songs I've heard in a long tim

[@donwhitmire978]

This song a jewel. Love her voice.

[@johncarrick9611]

Mean Mary is a genius. Such a brilliant lady. Her brother is brilliant too. Such a talented family.

[@134rwa]

Just when we thought music had got so out of hand to the point we couldn't enjoy it anymore, Mean Mary saves the day! The Singer-Song Writer tradition is alive and well, love that Banjo!

[@audiophileman7047]

"With my voice, I can make the bells ring." Yes, you can!! 👍💖🪕😎

[@thomastittmann2967]

Because of your offering…This 75-year old shepherd boy is simply gonna bring my voice…My perfect offering to the stables I encounter today…every day…Thank you, Mary Mary, for sharing yours….

[@kendugas2610]

Discovered Mean Mary James today. How did I miss her for so long? Bright, funny, hilariously silly and then makes your eyes tear up and the day even more beautiful.

[@voidremoved]

[@MIORIGAMI]

You have a knack for writing songs that remain LONG after you last heard it...to me, THAT'S what it takes to make it! DON'T YOU GIVE UP! Be true to you, and you're gift! Don't change a thing!! Just get what you got to where it needs to be! I'm spreading the word on my end to everybody and all that I can...I believe in you!!! AWESOME!

Its not Christmas without this every year.

[@maxxhenry]

Word!!

[@dennisr.levesque2320]

I dunno. This song is more universal than that. It's not even xmas and I just had to hear it again. There's a well expressed truth to it that applies all year long. And it sounds good, too. I hope I don't get addicted.

[@Perririri]

That and _Grandma got run Over by a Reindeer!_ 🤣🦌👵😛

[@greenmanatee6462]

[@santamara]

You are just awsome! My oh my! I need this at least once a day now! Simply fabulous you are!

[@peterhahnke716]

Everything she touches turns to gold. From listening to her interviews to watching her perform her music videos, it's no doubt this woman has a Big Heart

[@kodywolf12]

Wow I just found this video, very beautiful music! Nice elf ears too!

[@KevinSchwinkendorf]

I didn't notice that the first time I watched (the elf ears), but you're right! How cute!

[@terrygrif]

Most interesting and moving song Mary. Congratulations. Sung with great feeling. Thanks, Terry.

[@rexoravec]

This is a perfect video for the Christmas season! This is one of the first videos Mean Mary uploaded to KZbin, and I see it was uploaded 15 years ago. So, in the world of KZbin I guess that makes this video a Golden Oldie. But this video and its message will never go out of style.

[@Luckey900]

Another Masterpiece from Mean mary ! Jim Canada

[@tracejohnson204]

another one of my favorites-wow! and such cool dancing to boot!

[@brunofromtuuannain1024]

[@hedgy77]

AWESOME-Mary you are amazing!!!!!!

[@adreabrooks11]

I found this song a few months back and added to my holiday playlist this year. It was an instant favourite with all who heard it!

[@ZigZagMarquis]

Merry Christmas Mary. Thanks for playing!

[@GBVoyager]

Great voice! Love the song! 5 stars!

[@MrHappychimpy]

ROCKING those longjohns!

[@johngoodman616]

What a beautiful voice-like an angel!

[@ralphyetmore]

As someone who writes music too, it's so great to hear a completely fleshed out melody, and musical idea. That may sound ridiculous, but it's amazing how many songs seem to exist as incomplete ideas. I never have to worry about that with Mean Mary. ❤

[@jasonzelda]

Ms Mary, your a legend, I love your music, your the total package, beauty, heart, voice, and talent. Thanks for blessing us with your lovely voice and songs.

[@KarenEng]

Beautiful song and singing! Thanks for sending karokeandstuff4u! :)
