For a solid decade now, Michael Bublé's career-defining 2011 holiday album — ingeniously titled Christmas — has been nothing short of inescapable at this time of year. However, he''s created his own monster: Canada's father Christmas gets absolutely overstuffed on the sounds of the season by December 26.
The crooner and sparkling water enthusiast revealed in a new interview that he too is not immune to the over-saturation of holiday music, played ad nauseam in just about every store and restaurant as soon as December hits.
"Christmas music reminds me of rich food: when you haven't had it in a while, you are so excited for it and you eat as much as you can," Bublé told the Irish Daily Star. "By the 26th of December, you don't ever want to hear it again — but there are worse things than a season where people are kind."
And that doesn't mean the singer doesn't still have a sense of childlike wonder about the most wonderful time of the year: "I love Christmas so much and my parents made it so great for us that I still have that sense of wonderment. It's not that I see it through the eyes of kids; I genuinely have that wonderment," he explained, adding: "Like, my tree was up November 1st."
So you can trust that when Bublé sings "Santa Buddy," he really means it; they're pals. Just a couple of heterosexual homies.
The vocalist also featured on last year's Dolly Parton Christmas album alongside the likes of Willie Nelson, Miley Cyrus and Jimmy Fallon. Aside from festive tunes (within reason), Bublé is also a strong advocate for COVID-19 concert safety protocols and the brilliance of Deftones.
