Reply to comment by LFCsota in Mariah Carey is not the sole "Queen of Christmas," trademark board says by VonDrakken

You're getting awfully mean over my jovial position on a Christmas song

You are the one trying to force Mariah Carey on everyone and claim she is so good that millennials need to claim her as their generational talent because she makes some Christmas song that malls love to pump out that most people don't enjoy.

But sure, you can call it "jovial" position.

I'm asking for people to embrace the media from our childhood. Not forcing anything.

It's okay, Aeon, not everyone wants to spread their wings like a butterfly.

Don't let their disdain be a heartbreaker that gets the best of you.

(I think those are references to Mariah Carey songs. After that my aunt's mixtape I used to overhear switched to TLC.)

Thanks lol. Like I'm joking but also kinda not. Mariah Carey is fine. I haven't voluntarily listed to her ... well ever basically. But my point about boomers hogging Christmas is still salient

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere I go... chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose... Jingle bell jingle bell Jingle bell rock...

I wonder when we'll get the yearly post accusing that cold outside song of being abusive.

I don't think this song by Mariah has ever taken over Christmas airwaves in the Philippines where I'm from, though, as a local artist released a song in 1990 ("Christmas in our Hearts") that is the country's preferred memed song that means Christmas has arrived. Which is around September.

It isn't a pop r&b track or whatever All I Want for Christmas is You is, though, so it's not quite so tiresome unless, I guess, one's not particularly into Jesus.
