A store in the U.K. announced\u00a0it won’t be playing\u00a0Christmas music this year, because they think listening to it on a loop all day is bad for their employees’ mental health.\u00a0 The owner of the store specifically mentioned the song, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” by Mariah Carey.\u00a0 Which is also the most downloaded\u00a0holiday song ever, according to Billboard.<\/p>\n
