Donny Hathway’s “This Christmas” Celebrates 50th Anniversary

Donny Hathway’s “This Christmas” celebrates the 50th anniversary of the release of this popular, festive anthem with a new animated video.

The video was animated by Fantoons and drawn by famed cartoonist Lonnie Milsap. In the clip, Donny Hathaway takes a stroll through Chicago’s streets, passing by people in the community who are in the Christmas spirit.

“I’m thrilled for all the people who have loved this song forever and for all those who are just discovering this treasure,” his daughter, Lalah Hathaway said in a statement. “YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE IT!”
