Considering shes been a (multi) national institution for several decades, its perhaps surprising that this is Ms Minogues first festive venture. Entirely unsurprisingly, Kylie and Christmas are the most natural and inviting of fits. An ecstatic romp through yuletide classics, thislike all good partiesis made by the quality of its guests. Iggy Pop is a joyously leftfield presence on Christmas Wrapping, James Corden plays it straight on an affecting take of Yazoos Only You before sister Dannii helps rev things up in time for New Years Eve on 100 Degrees.
Lyrics:
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle-belling
And everyone telling you be of good cheer
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings
And gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap-happiest season of all
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistletoe-ing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoe-ing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
Oh the most wonderful time of the year
