Back in August 2015, a photo crew piled into proud Burnabarian Michael Bublé's home with evergreens, packages tied up with string and plenty of warm-weather clothing to style up Christmas's favourite crooner for our holiday issue. We€™d had access to his house a little earlier, so by the time he opened the door to his own home, it had been transformed into a winter wonderland€”during a summer heatwave.

True to form, he burst into €œIt's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas,€ and was the easygoing West Coaster you€™d hoped he€™d be. And now, like clockwork every December, €œHome for the Holidays with Michael Bubl逝 is our most-read story on westernliving.ca. Everyone wants to know how their favourite carol singer celebrates the season, too.
