It’s true that Mariah Carey is basically Mother Christmas, so it’s no wonder why she confessed that she is keeping her tree up till fourth of July.

In a response to a tweet from Ryan Seacrest, she wrote: “Dahhling! Not till July 4th!”

Ryan had initially wrote: “When is it appropriate to take down your Christmas tree and decorations? Asking for a friend.”

Mariah is hoping to correct her fiasco from last year by performing on stage this year for the New Year’s Eve celebration. This time, the singer will be in a theater in Las Vegas. Hopefully on beat — and in tune.
