What do power ballads and Christmas have in common? They’re both secretly terrible but enjoyable nevertheless. And if you’re sick of hearing Mariah whine about “all she wanted” and think you’ve seen so much red and green while out and about your mind is on the verge of hallucination, trying to make something of all this, then just take thirty or so minutes out of the holiday chaos to jam these power ballads with your lover o while drivin’ around the neighborhood avoiding family members. You know you want to.
