I think it is safe to say that we have all had that epiphany when listening to a great song and finding a new favorite moment. As I have been listening to my ‘Michelle’s Christmas Favs!’ playlist, I can’t help but pick out my absolute favorite things to hear during the Christmas season.
The third best moment in Christmas carols is the line: I like to think of it as opportunistic. Michael Buble and Idina Menzel sing the Baby It’s Cold Outside duet. Their version is far more superior than any other version in my opinion… including the original. When Menzel says “Ah, you’re very pushy you know?” and Buble replies with “I like to think of it as opportunistic.” I can’t help but giggle at his charming reply.
The next best moment is from Last Christmas when they whisper Merry Christmas. Wham! adds so much personality to the song in a unique and comical way with just one average line simply whispered.
My number one, absolute favorite thing to hear this time of year is Joy! Joy! Exactly three minutes and 38 seconds into Mariah Carey’s Joy to the World, she does a beautiful crescendo as she gets higher to hit the notes singing Joy Joy.
