  2. Dear Santa - Girl’s Generation

Yes. It’s a group of KPop stars trying really hard to sound like Mariah Carey singing mostly in Korean with random splashes of English. Exactly what you’ve always needed to hear.

Does this one still count as “non-traditional”? Serious question; it’s been over 35 years since this became the one song I needed to hear each year, so it’s traditional for me, and I have no idea how the Teeming Millions feel about it.
