We sat down with Mr Christmas himself, Michael Bublé, to discuss all things about the festive period. The singer let us in on his thoughts behind his hit Christmas album, his favourite Christmas songs and how he spends the holidays with his three children.

Of course, we couldn't let Michael leave without asking what his own top five Christmas songs are. Despite putting 'Christmas Baby Please Come Home', 'I'll Be Home For Christmas', 'White Christmas', and 'Wonderful Christmas Time' in his top four, it was actually George Michael's 'Last Christmas' that topped Michael's list.

He said, "I like that song a lot. I like it so much that I usually hate it when people redo it. But I think it's a strong enough song that when artists re imagine it, there's a few artists that have done it that I've really like."

Michael also chatted about the Christmas phenomenon that is Elf of the Shelf! Speaking about the 'magic elf' that shows up at his house every night, Michael said, "Do me and my wife fight about it all of the time?... Yes!"

He added, "I just get so excited about where he;s going to be. Even now, when I call my kids on Skype. Like today, when they wake up, the first thing that they'll do, their eyes will be wide and they'll go 'Papi, Papi, we found him in the laundry machine' or something and they'll be so excited."
