11 Things That Are As Old As 'Merry Christmas' By Mariah Carey
Brace yourselves, people who were conscious in 1994. Mariah Carey's Merry Christmas album has been around for twenty whole years now. Two decades. Almost a quarter of a century. Which means an entire generation has experienced its magic. It's one of those anomalies though that seems like it's been around forever and happened yesterday at the same time. So, in order to get your bearings, here are eleven other things that are as old as this amazingly amazing holiday album. And, mainly, to make you feel super old.
Justin Bieber
Has been alive as long as, “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” But that does not mean he’s what we want for Christmas. At all.

You’ve been mourning Mufasa for just as long as you’ve been jamming to Mariah’s Christmas medleys.
