Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition in 'White Christmas' from the rare introductory verse about Los Angeles to the iconic, swelling main theme.
The way Mathis holds the final high note in 'O Holy Night' with his signature rapid-fire vibrato.
The playful, rhythmic bounce of the percussion in 'Sleigh Ride' contrasting with the album's otherwise reverent tone.
