a song for my fellow grinches

i typically can't stand holiday music: the relentless cheerfulness, the outdated references (bells on a sleigh?), the blatant disregard for the stress + sadness that comes with the holidays each year for so many families. don't even get me started on the ridiculousness of the santa myth. but if there's one thing that can turn my frown upside down, it's the Roots. i just can't look at questlove (far left) and not smile. throw in some jimmy fallon, 4 cute kids, and ok, i guess you can join in too, mariah carey, and you have a production that even i will hum along with: "All I Want For Christmas Is You"
