Mariah and the Subtle Burn
by Steve West on December 26, 2021
Recent conversation with Brenda (after hearing All I Want for Christmas... again):
Me: Mariah Carey beginning with "I don't want a lot for Christmas..." and then revealing she wants "you" is kind of a burn,
Brenda: She could mean that she doesn't want a lot of other gifts and only wants her man friend.

Brenda: Don't ruin my song.

Now that's a burn. Can I just use your profile photo as my yule log video this year? :-)
