I've never really loved this song. The vocals are great, but I always thought it was kind of cheesy. Christian music superstars Avalon covered this song.

I like it purely for the fact that she wrote it, other than that, it's pretty boring.

I like it. I didn't know she wrote it herself.

It's really cheesy but all the Christmas songs are, and I adooooooooore it.  The beginning of the song sounds like the Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman music during the credits. |

I decided tonight that this is my favorite part of MC1. So bump in honor of that.

A clear standout on an exceptional album. It's a staple in my Christmas playlist.

Beautiful song, but I find it pretty difficult to listen to at times. It makes me feel way too nostalgic about those yearly Christmas shows I used to attend to during elementary school.

I can count on one hand the Mariah songs before 1998 that I don't really love and this is one of them. As far as nativity-themed songs go I far, far prefer "The Star" and "One Child" by Mariah.

Hard pass. Didn't actually realize this was an original song until now, so I'm even more surprised that it's this bad.

Probably my least favorite on her first Christmas album, but I love the whole album.
Newly released video from her 1994 show at St. John the Divine in 1994:

I love watching her on that live performance. There’s something so pure and beautiful about the way she is performing here.

I love it. I can see how some find it cheesy, but it totally works for me and puts me in the Christmas spirit. That this is an original song is to Mariah's credit because it sounds like a classic.

It is still my least favorite on Mariah’s first Christmas album, but I’m starting to fall in love with it ever since I heard/watched the live performance.
