The 50th anniversary of the late Donny Hathaway’s timeless classic holiday song “This Christmas” is being celebrated in a special way.
The lyrics to the song are brought to life through an animated special drawn by cartoonist Lonnie Milsap.
The song originally released on December 9th, 1970 and has gone on to become one of the greatest holiday songs of all time.
Happy Birthday Jesus.

Was on my 20’s. Had all of my family member living. Times were good
Everyone was working.
This is one of my 10 best Christmas songs of all times.
It brings back so many warm memories.
Jesus is the true reason for the season! Celebrating the birth of our King!
Awesomely beautiful!
Absolutely Lovely!
This was so good. I’m definitely in the holiday spirit as soon as I hear this song. Thank you for sharing this
Love this! Awesome!!!! This is part of what makes Christmas!
Brought a tear to my eye… both from nostalgia of Donny’s music and how it has affected me, friends and family in such a hugely positive way — but also saddens me because he was so troubled mentally & emotionally… and we’ve not come far enough in handling the mental health crisis that is so prevalent in our society.
We need to do better and demand that it’s addressed on a local & federal level —
Demand that $$$ is allocated to this effort now!
~= Peace-n-Love, y’all & Happy Holidays =~
