Mariah Carey wasted little time in ringing in the Christmas season following the end of Halloween by sharing a post in which she announced the beginning of “#MariahSZN” on Tuesday.
The veteran vocalist has become synonymous with the holiday season over the years, thanks to her classic Christmas anthem, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” and the various other Christmas projects she involves herself in year after year.
Martha Stewart didn’t take too kindly to Carey once again appearing to skip Thanksgiving.
In an appearance on “Today Show on Thursday, Stewart pleaded with Carey to observe the popular American holiday, which is set for November 24.
“Today” shared a clip of the episode on Twitter: “‘You cannot give up Thanksgiving!’ @MarthaStewart makes a plea to @MariahCarey to slow her roll after the singer posted a video on social media celebrating the end of Halloween and skipping straight to Christmas. Mariah, what do you say?”
