In case you didn't hear Mariah Carey's social media announcement the other day, it is officially "All I Want for Christmas Is You" season as of November 1, whether you like it or not, Thanksgiving be damned!

And while plenty of people are celebrating, one exception is the Stoneleigh P bar in Dallas, Texas, which went viral last week when it announced a ban on Mariah's perennial Yuletide hit until December 1.


Bah humbug!

Now of course, being the Queen of Christmas and Also All Other Things, Carey wasn't about to take this lying down while being fanned and fed grapes like Cleopatra, as she deserves.

After the notice caused an uproar on social media, Carey had the perfect response, without saying a word.


Quote-tweeting someone who quipped that Stonleigh P's ban constituted "the war on Christmas," Carey posted a photo of herself from a commercial she did in 2015 in which she played the commander of a retaliating force.

Ma'am Yes Ma'am!

Giphy


It all began with a viral tweet showing off Stoneleigh P's notice, seen below.


Not only is the bar banning the Christmas earworm until December, but it is enforcing a limit of one play per night thereafter. In the words of Carey herself, "How bout you get the fu*k out," Stoneleigh P!

The draconian ban on everyone's (yes everyone's, don't fact check us!) favorite Christmas song might explain why Carey's subsequent announcement of "All I Want for Christmas Is You" season a few days later on November 1 was so forceful.

She didn't just announce the calendar change over, she also bashed in a set of Halloween pumpkins—with a candy cane bat, no less--just to make sure there was absolutely NO confusion on whose season it is now.


Looking at you, Stoneleigh P!

All in good fun, of course--the bar's owner told CNN that she doesn't hate Christmas or Mariah. It's just that the song gets played so frequently in the bar that it drives her and her staff bonkers every year.

Fair enough.

But on Twitter, most people were decidedly Team Mariah, and they loved her response to the whole thing.









v



In the end, Stoneleigh P and anyone else's resistance has already been rendered futile.

"All I Want for Christmas Is You" had already landed on both the U.S. and Global lists of the top 200 most-streamed songs on Spotify as of November 2.

As prominent MAGA minions, like QAnon conspiracy peddler and former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, have come out against MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, so too are some lesser known individuals.

Whether it's his Iran War, his continuing saga with the Epstein files, his utter failure to keep any of his campaign promises that they banked on helping them, or the abject incompetence of his hand-picked personnel, some members of MAGA are distancing themselves from the cult.

Trump Ripped For Somehow Making His 'Happy Mother's Day' Post All About Himself Without Any Mention Of Melania

President Donald Trump was criticized after he "honored" mothers on Mother's Day by attacking Democrats in a self-absorbed post on Truth Social, never mentioning his wife, First Lady Melania, who is the mother of his youngest son Barron.

Instead of acknowledging her and mothers around the country, Trump gloated about the economy and accused critics of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome," targeting Democrats and Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair he's been trying to push out of his administration.

Zach Galifianakis Expertly Lays Into Comedians Who Refuse To 'Challenge' Trump When He's A Guest On Their Podcasts

Actor and comedian Zach Galifianakis called out comedians who have had President Donald Trump on their podcasts and didn't "challenge" him, noting that they've effectively abdicated their role by not making jokes at Trump's expense or pushing back against things he says.

Galifianakis made that argument during a recent episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, where host Conan O'Brien remarked that few, if any, people have challenged a sitting president the way Galifianakis did when he interviewed then-President Barack Obama in 2014 on his satirical series Between Two Ferns.
