🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 this substack is now the topic of several text chains I'm on. Debates are raging. And I could not disagree with you more. Christmas is right there in the title! 😋

"Christmas" IS right there in the title -- I'm not saying it doesn't *purport* to be a Christmas song. But that's literally where the Christmas tie-in ends!

It's basically a 90s version of Cher's single from last year, "DJ Play a Christmas Song." That song could have been "DJ Play a Pride Month Song," or "DJ Play a Halloween Song," or "DJ Play a Purim Song" or ANYTHING. You can't just slap "Christmas" on your lyric sheet and say you're actually contributing to the season. So too with Mariah!

(Glad I'm not alone in this fight though. It's good to have defenders)..
