My favorite part is at the end when she starts belting out "SLEEP IN HEAVENLY, HEAVENLY PEACE!" with the choir. It starts off so subdued and then Mariah just puts her all into the end.

I love the belting parts.

Definitely my third favorite on the album behind "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and "Oh Holy Night".

Said this in the game thread, but this is actually one of my least-favorite popular covers of this song. I don’t think the way she dismantled the melody works in the song’s favor, and her grab bag approach to her dynamics is distracting. It’s also just such a sleepy way to open such a vibrant album. Perma-skip.

Laid out what was under the surface
And lived like it wouldn't hurt us
But it hurt us

I see to feel this way, but now I love the “sleepy” quality. It works as an intro/interlude opening to me, especially going into the way “AIWFCIY” opens before the production really kicks in. That’s where the album (and the holiday season) really gets going, so everything up to then is like a prelude.

I see how it works as an opener as AIWFCIY comes right after with a bang but it’s still one of my least favorites from the album. It’s never been one of favorites Xmas songs anyway so that doesn’t help it. At least for me.

Love it, definitely a favorite of mine on the album.
