There is a rather ignorant assumption in the world that within the last 25 or so years, only one modern-day Christmas song matters. Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas is You is a pop masterpiece that further solidified Carey’s rightful place in pop culture history and is certainly the only actual Christmas
standard to emerge in our lifetimes. The Phil Spector-inspired jingle at the beginning is instantly recognizable, and Carey’s own vocals provide a level of serotonin and Christmas spirit that will surely annoy your neighbors or coworkers.
But there are more Christmas anthems you might ve missed since the release of All I Want. The mockery of Christmas music is tiresome at this point and a pointless rejection of joy when we need it the most. Look around you. The world sucks. If a few Christmas bops (no matter how commercialized) can help bring some happiness in our lives, then who are we to reject or dismiss that?
