Notes:
--20191218--
Second listen. "All I Want for Christmas Is You" + "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)" + "Joy to the World".
Spotify doesn't have this single as a separate listing. However, since the songs come from Merry Christmas, I just listened to each song as if I were listening to this three-track version of the single.

5: "All I Want for Christmas Is You";
4: None
3: "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time);
2: "Joy to the World";

First listen. Mariah's New Dance Mix 2009.
I feel like I like the The Radio Edit slightly less than the first mix.
I think I like the drawn out feel of the Extended mix more than the first mix - though not enough to be a "3."

2: "All I Want for Christmas Is You" (Mariah's New Dance Mix 2009); "All I Want for Christmas Is You" (Marian's New Dance Mix 2009 - Extended)
1: "All I Want for Christmas Is You" (Marian's New Dance Mix 2009 - Radio Edit);

Summary:
From 20191120 to 20191218, I seem to have switched the ratings on "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)" and "Joy to the World." As for "All I Want for Christmas Is You," that mainly seems to have stayed the same - taking into account that the song eventually topped "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" (rated a "4") as my favorite song on Merry Christmas.

Overall Rating (3-Song Single): 5.0/5
Overall Rating (Mariah's New Dance Mix 2009): 3.6/5
Favorite Song: "All I Want for Christmas Is You"

Since these tracks are from Merry Christmas, I have transferred the ratings from that listening below.

5: "All I Want for Christmas Is You";*
4: None
3: "Joy to the World";
2: "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time";

*While the song was rated a "3" during the initial listening. I eventually chose it as my favorite song on Merry Christmas. This means that it was better than "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" which was rated a "4." It follows that "All I Want for Christmas Is You" should be at least a "4."
