Walking in a shopping mall yesterday, I was suddenly hit with this song playing in the background. I recognised it almost instantly as it is one of my favourite Christmas songs of all time!
The song, which was a little sad for such a festive season, nevertheless got me into the Christmassy mood.
And as I listened to the beautiful voice of my idol Mariah Carey singing those sad lyrics, I could not help but be transported into a world of white Christmas complete with images of snowflakes and Santa Claus and silver bells and the feeling of warmness of the fireplace and sound of carolers singing in the distance.
So for today, despite it being a Monday and most of you are probably suffering from Monday blues, I would like to share this song with all of you.
This song is called "Miss You Most At Christmas Time" and is probably the kind of song all ex-Mariah fans would want her to sing nowadays! Enjoy....
The fire is burning
The room's all aglow
Outside the December wind blows
Away in the distance the carolers sing in the snow
Everybody's laughing
The world is celebrating
And everyone's so happy
Except for me tonight
Because I miss you
Most at Christmas time
And I can't get you
Get you off my mind
Every other season comes along
And I'm all right
But then I miss you, most at Christmas time
I gaze out the window
This cold winter's night
At all of the twinkling lights
Alone in the darkness
Remembering when you were mine
Everybody's smiling
The whole world is rejoicing
And everyone's embracing
Except for you and I
Baby I miss you
Most at Christmas time
And I can't get you
Get you off my mind
Every other season comes along
And I'm all right
But then I miss you, most at Christmas time
In the springtime those memories start to fade
With the April rain
Through the summer days
Till autumn's leaves are gone
I get by without you
Till the snow begins to fall
And then I miss you
Most at Christmas time
And I can't get you
Get you off my mind
Every other season comes along
And I'm all right...
But then I miss you, most at Christmas time
So who do you miss most at Christmas time?

Hmmm.... which shopping mall you went ? i never hear this kind of Xmas song ... only those common and commercialize Xmas song like Santa Clause is coming to town... :p
I saw the Christmas decor briefly when I was at the Mid Valley mall last week but somehow, the atmosphere (and decor) wasn't as nice as last year's.
As i was expecting hehe i will not get the FC^^
by the way foongpc, thanks for visiting my blog... i really appreciate your presence!

Mariah is also known for some of her christmas songs especially her version of "All i want for Christmas" and Silent Night
hi foongpc thanks fro dropping by at my SUPER BLOG... YUP plagiarism is a crime and it was such a shame in my part for doing it ^^
foongpc ~ ref to your question on compressing picture:
Goto to picture
[Right click]
click [Open With]
click [Microsoft Office Picture Manager]
click [Picture]
click [Compress Pictures]
tick [Web Pages]
click [OK]
Note: On the lower right hand side shall see the "Estimated total size" showing the "Original" & "Compressed". Sometimes the 'Compressed' size can be larger than the 'Original' then don't compress. Compressed pic may not be as sharp as the original but you certainly save lots of space and that could fasten the uploading speed. Advisable to make a copy of the original before compressing just in case you are not satisfied with the end result:) [Thanks to Pete]
Great video thanks for lyrics & setting the Xmas mode early.
hi foongpc,

I should call her more.

it's always feels good in the shopping malls during the x'mas season.
I think malls cutting cost and just recycle previous year's materials instead of coming up with new decorations. I agree with Mei Teng, MV decir not so nice as last year. :D
Merry Christmas! Ah the Christmas feeling, I am so excited about it! I always get chrismassy feeling when it comes to christmas. :P.
Merry Christmas! any special plans for the holiday?
lina, congrats for being FC today! Wonder when can I be FC on your blog? But I think I just achieved Top Commenter status! Haha! I hope Ayie won't climb back up so fast! Hehe
manglish, oh! I like that song too! In fact I like ALL the songs in her Christmas album! : )
SJ, thanks! Hope you like the song though it's a bit sad : )
wenn,gimme 5! : )
TZ, yeah I was lucky, the store in the shopping mall was playing Mariah's Christmas album so it was all her songs at that time! : )
mei teng, it's a pity because Mid Valley's Christmas deco is usually very nice every year.
i love her old songs more than the new ones. :(
foong, i like this song. first time i heard it. i like it
I heard the Xmas decor in 1U is nice. Pavilion has a very nice one too.
I was at Ikea on Sat but no Xmas carols yet. Strange..
Such a sad song. :(
i love the song and the MC album too.
So fast, xmas already le... havent buy gifts yet..
top five, you are welcome! : )
feed your mind, yes I like her song "All I Want For Christmas" too. It is one of the most successful Christmas songs in the world! I think a lot of singers covered it too like John Mayer, Shania Twain, Samantha Mumba and Miley Cyrus : )
bluedreamer27, don't worry, blue. It's OK to make mistakes in life - I do it all the time! The most important thing is we learn from it, yes? : )
cheahs@n, thanks for the detailed guide! I will try it! But you want to compress just to save space? So it will affect picture quality and sharpness?
Yeah, setting the Xmas mood early so I can enjoy one whole month of the Xmas ambience! LOL!
mom's corner, you are welcome. Oh! I love Vision of Love and especially My All! They are considered Mariah's top songs! : )
shingo T, yes why don't you start calling her today? And do go visit her! : )
cheahs@n, yes I'm aware of the other functions but not aware of the compression thing. Thanks, yes? : )
reanaclaire, it's a sad song right? I feel like wanting to cry listening to this actually, but it does bring back memories : )
merryn, who are you missing? Sorry about the sad song! For happier songs, just go to the shopping mall and listen to all the happy Christmas songs! : )
kenwooi, me missing Santa? No way! Since he didn't give me what I wanted! LOL!
chrisau, yeah it does : )
lina, yeah especially KLCC - I hope they don't put up the giant Christmas tree again like what they did year after year after year!
ladyviral, yeah, me too! Love the Chrismassy feeling! And Merry Christmas to you! : )
gabriel, Merry Christmas to you too! No special plans - maybe just "lepak" around and enjoy the Christmas mood : )
xin, actually me too! But I've since learnt to like her new songs, so it's all fine : )
At Christmas time, I get nostalgic too.
I may not like much of Mariah's songs lately but I LOVE her Christmas album :D
bengbeng, first time you hear this? Glad you like it! : )
happysurfer, Yes the one in 1Utama is not bad. Haven't seen the one in Pavilion. Hope to visit Pavilion soon! No Xmas carols in Ikea? Maybe it's still too early? : )
Yeah, this is indeed a sad song, and I simply love the way Mariah sang it. Totally one of the trademark songs : )
lawstude, you do? Gimme 5! : )
keeyit, time passes really fast right? Before you know it, Christmas will be over, so I better start enjoying the Christmas mood now! : )
becklee, yeah me too - just love Christmas time! : )
nick phillips, yay! gimme 5! Her Christmas album is indeed one of the best Christmas albums out there! : )
my all time christmas song favourite is "have yourself a merry little christmas"..
hmmmm, i'm just wondering if MC can still fit in her santa costume that she wore few years back??
Ooo.. The song that brings tears to my eyes is "I'll Be Home For Christmas". It's the song I remember when I was on my way back from UK to M'sia for my 2 week break. That time, I was home sick and so, was very happy to go home for that short break.
the best time of the year .....
Merry Christmas Foong! Are you getting Turkey for Christmas? Hehhee
Aloha Foong!!
Happy Season, friend-
