I remember wintertime about 10 years ago when I was 9 years old, we were on a road trip to pick up my mom's friend and her kid. During the trip, I remember having a CD playing in the car and this exact cover of Happy Holiday was on it. Idk what we did with the CD, but I don't remember listening to the CD since then, so whenever I'd think of this song, I'd get nostalgia of that one time we went on that roadtrip. And today, I randomly decided to look thru YouTube to find the song. Didn't take long to find it. And now I'm reliving those memories ๐Ÿ˜‚ Now that I know who sang this cover, I'll try to look thru our CDs to find whichever one has this song so I can listen to the rest of the songs on that disc this Christmas to feel that nostalgia again lol
