Today I’m sharing another favorite from the long list of Christmas song videos we’ve uploaded over the years.
According to Wikipedia, “Christmas Times A-Coming” was written by Benjamin Franklin “Tex” Logan, Jr.
Bill Monroe helped spread the tune’s popularity, but I’m most familiar with Sammy Kershaw’s version of the song, and I’m betting that’s where the girls learned it since their daddy is awful partial to Sammy’s version.
I love the cheerful tune of the song, but I also love the lyrics that speak of the wonderful way our memories of home get tied up in the specialness of Christmas.
I hope you enjoyed the video!

Thanks, you did a great job. Christmas Time A Coming has become one of my favorite Christmas
songs. Dennis Morgan
I love the video! That is a fun song. I enjoy listening to the girls sing.
The girls did a beautiful job on that old time Christmas song. I really enjoyed it. Thanks ladies and God bless!
A big Thank You to the Pressley sistere, Corie and Katie for that wonderful old Christmas classic of a song. I knew it had to be very old, because I’ve heard it all my life
That was just beautiful. Those girls have so much talent. I could listen to them every single day. Merry Christmas All
Oh gosh you girls did so good, how do you EVER tell them apart, surely they were tagged at birth for a bit…haha I gave Patty Loveless’ cd where she sing this song, I’m sure she did right by Appalachia since she from your area….but we love Sammy too! Tonight is our Christmas Cantata and I’m a deaconess so I’ve bn busy today cooking and decorating for the meal, I just love it!
oh Gosh, I enjoyed this so much. A dear elderly family friend, who has since passed away, was a fiddle player and he always played and sang this old Bill Monroe song for my youngest child years ago!
The twins did an awesome job playing and singing Christmas Times A’comin!
Thanks for sharing this song some beautifully by the girls. Today would have been my fathers 94th birthday..he went to heaven when he was 86..today I am reflecting on my precious memories of Christmas celebrating Jesus with my daddy!
The girls did a beautiful job with this song. I really enjoyed it.
Pa Parker played the fiddle and this was one of his favorite songs to sing and play. This song brings back memories of a happy time of long ago. Thank you for sharing it with us. It’s a good one for sure! Merry Christmas!
This is one of my favorite Christmas songs and the girls did an excellent performance of it!
That’s a beautiful old Christmas Card and a lovely song to go with it!
I *LOVE* this‼️
Great job ladies!! Love this song. Like so many, I would love to be able to go “home again” but I have my memories and that’s a blessing to me. Have a wonderful day everyone!!
I love this version! but…I love all the songs the girls play and sing. my Sis and I sang for Church and played the organ, she was the most talented as she could play by ear! You always inspire such great memories of my twin and I! Thank you and keep making memories! We got to be together for 65 years and I surely do miss her! God bless you and yours❤❤
A little “toe tapping” to start this day; a great rendition, ladies. Just around the corner • an early Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season to all ……..
Beautifully done!
When I was a child, I remember my aunts and mommy singing this as they cooked and got ready for Christmas. A they ever sang was “Christmas time’s a coming “ so now I hear the wonderful WHOLE song- and what a fantastic job your beautiful and talented daughters did! Thanks, Tipper and little ladies for this uplifting Holiday share!!!! It’s just perfect and might I add you can NEVER go wrong with a PINK Christmas tree!!! It’s cute as can be and totally girly!!! Can I get a purple one?
I love the song and the girls did a great job. The song made me wish that I could go home for Christmas but my parents have both passed away and i have to make memories with my own children and grandchildren.
I love that song and the girls made me want to sing right along with them as I tapped my feet.
Wonderful music! The girls look cute and very festive and their plckin and singing just warms my heart! Your family is so blessed to have their music tying up the memories!
Can’t help but smile. There’s that pink Christmas tree!
Thank you for sharing a few of your traditions. We all seem to have ones that make the season all the more memorable.
Patty Loveless did a rendition of this song as well, which I love! This is one of my favorite Christmas songs, thank you for sharing the girls version, they did a great job!
I had almost forgotten about this happy little tune! Thanks for the reminder. Yes, it’s the Sammy K. version I recall. Nothing like the anticipation of spending Christmas with family and all the memories of “home.” I loved hearing the twins’ sweet voices on this one!! Merry Christmas to your family!!!!
I really like this song. great job girls
Love this! I’m always singing this around our grandkids just like our daddy did to us. The kids always say, “Mamaw, where did you hear that song?” So special. Now I can share this with them!
Aww, that was just a happy song! I’ve never heard it before that I can recall, until now. The girls are so talented and I enjoy hearing some cheerfulness this morning. Thank you, Tipper!
Kershaw is one of our favorites as well. Those gals are soooo talented. On another subject, we watched your vlog on Ginseng with your brother. Very interesting and I love his take on how God made everything we enjoy. Have a Blessed Sunday and God Bless.
