It’s December 1st, the christmas lights fill the air, but with it, is dread. It’s the creeping realization that your waggie ass will be listening to only Mariah Carey for the entirety of a month, without your consent. Prepare your ears, you’ll need this.
Rules:
Survive until Christmas Eve (i.e. 23:59.59 in your time zone) without listening to All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey Christmas"
Only the original song performed by Mariah Carey counts. Remixes, covers and the duet version with Justin Bieber don’t count.
Hearing any part of the song counts as getting Carey’d. If you’re unsure whether it’s a remix or the duet version, keep listening to find out, or use apps such as Shazam or Google Assistant. If you’re still not sure, it may be in good faith to consider yourself out.
GIFs, still images or muted video do not count.
Additionally, if you’re old enough you should remember Last Christmas by Wham! If you’re up for the challenge you little Grinch, apply the same rules as above for Last Christmas.
Good luck, and may Holly Jolly Christmas reign supreme!
So I’m Jewish, I rarely hear Christmas music if not in a store or restaurant. At that, it’s usually crooner, older style. (My father is a lounge lover through and through, so am I.)
This is going to be incredibly easy, and now typing this, I feel like Sock is going to send me a lot of stuff to bait me into losing this.
Y’know, the lyric ‘All I want for Christmas is you’ being preceded by ‘I don’t want a lot for Christmas’ could be construed as a claim that the ‘you’ in the lyrics isn’t worth ‘a lot’.
