Margarita Sipatova – All I Want For Christmas Is You
An evening pause: A bright cheery way to start the last week in the Christmas holiday season. CORRECTION: I have discovered that the performer here is not Mariah Carey, as listed in the video, but another singer doing a nice cover. I have corrected the post.
Hat tip Alton Blevins.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
OK, she can have me, I guess.
Very good. What decade was this? She is or was recently on tour with this song, her most famous and her bread and butter, featured with a choreographed dance crew for the adoring fans. Time to move on, Mariah. It was worth many millions and the royalties will keep rolling in but it is no longer fresh and this years performances show it.
Just for the record you know this is not actually Mariah Carey right? It is a cute and fun instrumental cover by a lady named Margarita Sipatova per the YouTube info on the clip.
MDN: No I had not realized. I have now corrected the post. Thank you.
I’m embarrassed. You know, I really tried to figure that out. I was first disappointed this one didn’t sing! I noticed Mariah has a little mole. I thought it was age related, perhaps. I do have a degree of facial blindness, can I use that excuse? Here is Mariah… recent.

Yes, it is a cover but the Original Artist has done just FINE .. .
Miss MC’s work has topped the charts at Number One for Five Straight Years and is again the highest rocket this Season……
Not bad for a 21 year old Creation.
