I love that song. It was one of my mom’s favorites so I think of her and Christmas past when I hear it.

I love that song though. When I was a very young child, my grandma gave me a record of children's Christmas music with this song. I consider myself an atheist but I still love Christmas music, especially this song because of Grandma.

lol that meme is hilarious!
I love that song, and the Christmas special is my absolute favorite. Always made me tear up as a child, it's so so beautiful.

I just think of Angela from The Office. That's her favorite song and her chosen song for the first dance at her wedding.
oh yvonne, I used to sob when I watched Frosty. One year I was almost inconsolable. My mother had to keep reassuring me that Frosty would be just fine.

I hate that song w/the light of a supernova. I don’t have twitter, so I can’t read the whole tweet, but I despise that song, so it’s all good. Although I think that sappy song about those stupid shoes is my most hated Christmas song.

I LOVE that song ! I also the cartoon if you can find it. It’s rarely on regular TV. I usually stream it.

I hate that song, but not as much as the one about the cavalry.

And singing backup for her. 😻😻😻I love Dwight and Angela!

LOL! I got an especially good chuckle out of that because my youngest, for reasons unknown to me, absolutely loathes that song!
Typically I hear people mention all of the same contenders when it comes to which Christmas carol/song they dislike the most, but Little Drummer Boy is rarely if ever mentioned. But my kid, man oh man do they hate that poor song!

I love the Bing Crosby and David Bowie version.... I don't mind the song at all..
Just, please for the love of God, quit playing Feliz Navidad... it's a good one, but playing it on a loop about every 15 minutes on the Christmas music channel is enough to drive you up the wall.

I LOVE that song ! I also the cartoon if you can find it. It’s rarely on regular TV. I usually stream it. There is a channel that shows a lot of the Rankin Bass specials each year and it always pops up. There is even a part 2 episode. I love the song, the Bing Crosby version (regular, although the Bing and Bowie duet is great too) is my favorite.

Just in case anybody doesn’t know, the little drummer boy is not actually part of the biblical Christmas story. I’m not a lover of the typical song but I love this version by 4Him. They have my favorite Christmas album ever, the Season of Love. They personalize it at the end, I don’t know if the guy who sings this part is the drummer, but he sings “I’ll play for you on my drum”. I love it bc everything they sing is for him. Like the name of their group! youtu.be/9EuqyEgCSSg

Sometimes, the lyrics just get me. there are a couple of songs that make me choke up, and this is actually one of them - Just how he had nothing to give and that was his gift to the baby. I get the same way with the lyrics of "Mary did you know?"

Cute!
Add me to the Mary Did You Know list. No matter who sings it or how many times I hear it, it always brings tears to my eyes. And I get goosebumps every time I hear the line "When you kiss your little baby You kiss the face of God". <3

I love the Bing Crosby, David Bowie version of the song. The Bowie part, that was written for that performance, really helps the song.
Also, The Office is indeed the best show ever.

I just think of Angela from The Office. That's her favorite song and her chosen song for the first dance at her wedding. Because I can’t resist. From the transcript of Episode 39 from the podcast The Office Ladies (which I highly recommend): julie5 oh yvonne quinlove artbabe

Rainn Wilson portrays Dwight in such a way that you see a piece of the actual man in him. He’s one of my all time favorite actors. So underrated.
