Welp, it's Christmas time and you know what that means...it's Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You season. There seems to be no evading this cheerful Christmas song. Since it's debut in 1994, it has been a hit. As patrons walk into stores, as drivers passed one another, as people enter office buildings, as dogs walk through the park...you hear those chimes and know Mariah's voice is soon to follow. Though the melody, the rhythm, the voice, and originality are all amazing, have you really considered the lyrics.

In the end, we find the lyrics may ring true for some while it doesn't for others. #alliwantforchristmasisyou #holidays #Christmas
