You hear it every year like clockwork, and you either love it or hate it, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey. But someone is listening to it. A billion times.
Mariah Carey hit that milestone Wednesday (Dec. 22) as she celebrated “All I Want for Christmas is You” reaching a whopping 1 billion streams on Spotify. Yes, that’s billion, dahlings, according to Billboard Magazine.
“Thank you @spotify, the #lambily, and everyone who streams this song to add a little bit of festivity to the season! I truly appreciate each and every one of these 1 billion streams!” the icon captioned the photo of herself posing with the commemorative plaque marking the achievement dressed in a glam metallic puffer coat, sparkling beanie, sheer black leggings and matching boots.

Sick of having a box of tangled Christmas lights every year?
Wrap them around paper towel rolls to organize them. (that was never really our problem, size of tree, or blown stand of lights always had us short..every year..EVERY YEAR!!!!!)

Ever wonder how the tradition of putting an angel on top of your Christmas tree got it's start? It's not as magical as you may think.
When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the pre-Christmas pressure.
Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drunk all the cider and hidden the liquor.
In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor.
He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and an irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.
The angel said very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?"
And thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

Have a wonderful Christmas! Enjoy and revel in all your traditions!
