Mariah Carey Should Leave Christmas Behind

On the eve of Nov. 1, Mariah Carey released her fifth annual “It’s Time” video reel, announcing the coming of the holiday season and thereby granting the world permission to start listening to (her) Christmas music. This year’s edition featured Carey frozen in a block of ice. At the strike of midnight on the first, Mimi shatters her way out of the ice with the power of her whistle register, as ghoulish jack-o’-lanterns back away from her in awe.
