You might be a Mariah if…
- The Christmas music started the day after Halloween, and you will not be taking questions.
- Your tree has a color scheme, a theme, and more ornaments than branches.
- Glitter wrapping paper and giant shiny bows, every time.
- You have a Hallmark movie queue and you are not embarrassed about it.
- Your Christmas Day outfit involves sequins.
- At the party, you are the party. Spiked eggnog in hand. WOO!
A perfect Mariah Christmas
You wake up to Mariah on the speaker, change into something sparkly before breakfast, and spend the afternoon hosting a party where every surface glitters. There is a Hallmark movie on in the background, a plate of gooey chocolate chip cookies that never runs out, and a photo of the tree that you will post at least three times.
How to decorate for a Mariah Christmas
- Go big on the tree: a bold color theme, ribbon garland, and picks sticking out of every branch.
- Layer lights everywhere, including the places nobody asked for lights.
- Wrap presents in metallic or glitter paper with oversized bows and stack them like a display window.
- Add a holiday bar cart with festive glassware and a signature drink.
