It's so interesting / funny that All I want for Christmas is you is this US meme of the all-surrounding Christmas song, because in Germany, that always used to be Last Christmas.
Like there have been endless sketches about Last Christmas playing everywhere and in every radio station and being a war crime and being inevitable in the winter, and apparently there was a radio station guy that played it over 30 times on loop.
And the way All I want for Christmas is you is treated in US internet culture is exactly that. But sadly, through the interconnection of the internet and meme culture, I feel like this meme is in the process of replacing the Last Christmas meme in Germany, and I personally find that really sad :C
Last Christmas is also in the all-surrounding Christmas playlist, I'm in the US and I've got friends who play Whamageddon every year. I'm reminded that they play by their posts on socials about when they inevitably lose the game.
i wish i could do this with Mariah, but i have my traditions and my wife has hers. season doesn't start until we've listened to both Alvin and the Chipmunks "Christmas Don't Be Late" and Mariah's "All I Want For Christmas Is You".

I don’t actively play the game with anyone but I’m aware of it and kind of keep it in mind. Last year I “lost” soooo early.

She's also infiltrated Australia with it, I can feel it's presence on the horizon, it won't be long till she's here to take more souls.

When she dies, they should install a speaker in her casket to auto play that song from Nov 1st to Jan 1st non stop.

Could form a blood pact where whenever this song plays you drop everything your were going to buy and walk out the store.
