I always thought that there were a couple lines in Natalie Cole’s version of “Christmas Waltz” that went:
People vacuuming on New Year’s Eve with a smile
‘Tis the season to care
I never really understood it; I assumed it was traditional to clean a house on New Year’s Eve, or maybe the people were preparing to host guests for a New Year’s party and cared about how they presented the house.
Well, while trying to search for that song using that phrase, I didn’t get very far. Turns out the actual lyrics are:
People that you meet on any street will smile
‘Tis the season to care
I was close.
