It has been a day of holiday music for me:
At home I listened to Phil Spector's Christmas album. This really is where "festive" holiday songs came from, and Mariah's album owes a lot to this one.

Then when I got to work my co-worker put in Mariah's Merry Christmas. Everyone was singing along to "AIWFCIY" and "Santa Claus..." among others. One of our students apparently thought he was Mariah, and his "Jesus!" refrains were hilarious :lmao

After that we put on Whitney's holiday album, and the place got silent until someone said "It sounds like Noel got cancer. Was she high recording this" :( :teehee
