Michael Bublé’s introduction to the music of the swing era came to him through his grandfather, who filled his grandson’s ears with the sounds of The Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and others. As Bublé eagerly absorbed the recordings, he began to realize that he wanted to be a singer and that this style of music, virtually foreign to his own generation, was what he wanted to perform.
With his grandfather’s assistance, Bublé soon learned a whole catalog of tunes and gained experience and exposure by singing as a guest with several local bands. While still in his teen years, he won the Canadian Youth Talent Search, released several independent albums, and performed in a musical review titled Swing that traveled across the U.S. It wasn’t long before Bublé was introduced to Grammy-winning producer David Foster during a famous Canadian wedding of Brian Mulroney’s daughter Caroline Mulroney. He later signed his first major recording contract with Reprise Records after that encounter.
The two Canadians began work on a debut album that would incorporate Bublé’s aptitude for pop standards into songs that spanned several decades. His self-titled debut disc was released in early 2003, and featured jazzy takes on old standards like “Fever” and “The Way You Look Tonight” as well as newer classics like “Moondance” and “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”.
He finished off 2003 with an EP of holiday material, Let It Snow, and began 2004 with the live CD/DVD set Come Fly With Me. In 2005, It’s Time was a number one hit in Canada, Japan, Italy, and Australia, and made the top ten of both the UK and US. Later that year he released the live album Caught in the Act. More recently, Michael received a 2010 Grammy Award for 'Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album' for 'Michael Bublé Meets Madison Square Garden.

Michael Bublé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
Oh, the mistletoe
Is hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh by golly, have a holly, jolly Christmas this year
Oh, ho, the mistletoe
Is hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh by golly, have a holly, jolly Christmas this year

Have a holly, jolly Christmas
Wishing you a very happy and cheerful Christmas
It's the best time of the year
A time filled with joy and happiness
I don't know if there'll be snow
Not sure about the possibility of snow on this Christmas
But have a cup of cheer
Enjoy some warm and cheery drinks instead of the snow
And when you walk down the street
As you take a walk around the town
Say hello to friends you know
Greet your known ones with a warm smile
And everyone you meet
Embrace socializing and make the most of it
Oh, the mistletoe
A sprig of an evergreen plant hung from the ceiling as a Christmas decoration
Is hung where you can see
Placed in an easily noticeable spot
Somebody waits for you
There is someone who wants to have a special moment with you under the mistletoe
Kiss her once for me
If you find yourself under the mistletoe with someone, give them a kiss on my behalf
And in case you didn't hear
If you missed my previous wish
Oh by golly, have a holly, jolly Christmas this year
Please have an absolutely wonderful and mirthful Christmas this year

To the person that reads this, I ask the Lord to bless them and their family, to cure them of every sickness and pain, to fill their emptiness with love joy and peace, to rebuke the enemy from their lives. " ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR HEART AND SAVE YOU, AND TO FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS, FOR WE GIVE THANKS AND GLORY TO THE LORD. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN!
