Mariah Carey's top holiday hit, "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is a favorite among Christmas lovers. But, one bar in Texas is vowing to not play the song at all until December 1 and even then, it will only be allowed to play one time per night.
A tweet showed the note hung up at the bar and it even caught the attention of Carey herself.
The note said, "Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You will be skipped if played before Dec 1. After Dec 1 the song is only allowed one time a night."
