Some of the tracks are kind of blah, several have just the right combo of feel good cheese and a sort of nice, cosy vibe that I like to bring it out around christmas time. I like Wham's Last Christmas too. This album comes somewhat close to giving me more of that kind of vibe.
It's the only Carey album I bother owning.
Seems to me christmas albums are unfairly maligned in general. I'm kind of interested in the musical traditions related to christmas. I like a lot of christmas psalms too.

I manage to avoid Christmas music basically until the night I go to my grandparents house for dinner, and they love this Ed Ames Christmas **** album, so I've heard it once a year every year for 31 years on repeat and so it has some serious nostalgic value. Not something to listen to on headphones for whatever reason (meh), but in company it's surprisingly "cosy".

I wouldn't open with this one.

Just tried to pause that Ed Ames Youtube video with my keyboard pause button which activates MusicBee and not Youtube and it was the first time in my life I've ever transitioned from Ed Ames into Dark Angel. I lol'd.

Oh wait, I know! I actually own this:
Well, "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is the only good song she ever released in her entire god-forsaken career so I can't fault you too much.

Not bad. It's very psalm like, which I can appreciate. Reminds me of certain Danish christmas tunes that I've heard every year at my parents house for my entire life. I don't know whether it's Stockholm syndrome or what, but it reads as enjoyable music to me. Under the right circumstances at least

I like a couple handful more, but it really is the best song she's done. If only she'd been a singer of old pop tunes instead of R&B, soul ballads and gospel.

There's only one Christmas Song that matters. It's so fitting for the times...

My only christmas song link will be this little gem from an old Danish film. It's just about the most Danish christmas feeling thing you can find and it evokes all manner of warm feelings of nostalgia in me. Note that it is dark in the video clip. Danish tradition is to do the whole christmas tree song and dance and the presents and the big dinner and everything at the evening of the 24th. It was always very special as a kid, getting to stay up late on that evening - the darkness, the candles, the presents, food, candy, music, song and dance around the tree... Best ****ing day of the year when you're 5-10 years old.

Still love it though

I'm awful about Christmas music. If a song even says the word "Christmas" in it, but is otherwise completely unrelated to the holiday, I'll be slightly put-off.

I don't even hate Christmas, I'm just easily annoyed by the novelty and commercialization of it.
