And thus,exclusive eroticism it was Christmas. For Mariah had decreed it so.

That's right, folks: the holiday haters in your life are wrong. Even though it's only Nov. 2 and I still have fake spiders all over my apartment, it's officially the holiday season.

Why? Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is on the iTunes charts.

To be fair, Mariah has known that it's Christmas for a while -- she put her tree up at the beginning of October. Now, though, we've finally listened to our wintry empress. Her flawless holiday bop is currently at #58 on iTunes's "Top Songs" chart, which reflects top downloads. (You can buy the song for $1.29 -- a steal if you consider it the source of all holiday spirit.)
