Mariah Carey joins other celebrities including George Clooney and fellow diva Madonna in wishing fans a Merry Christmas.
The singer who’s currently in Aspen, Colorado for her first Christmas there with Dem Babies revealed how she plans to spend the holidays and how much she loves this time of the year.
“I start planning my Christmas in June. It’s absolutely my favourite holiday and I’ve always loved everything about this time of year. I love cooking and I’m a smash-hit wonder in the kitchen. I’m going to be making the turkey, cranberry sauce and all the trimmings this Christmas. I cooked at Thanksgiving and it was a real success with everyone asking for seconds.”
Mimi says she’s overwhelmed by how fans have received her Christmas tunes over the years especially her most popular one All I Want For Christmas Is You which she recently re-recorded with Justin Bieber.
“I’m amazed and humbled by its popularity, even all these years later. And I think it’s great that people have the song as a ringtone. Who’d have thought, all those years ago when I wrote it, that it would still be having an impact today?”
Mariah addressed the flak she received for her sexy Santa outfit in the video but says, “Justin’s definitely a young phenomenon — fun, cute and very talented. That’s why I wanted to work with him.”
And she revealed she loved HMS Ocean warship’s version of the Christmas tune which she tweeted out to her followers.
“I love their take on it. I think it’s the cutest thing ever. Very good lip-synching too. If I’d had more time, I would have liked to have gone down to Plymouth to meet the singing sailors and their families. Sadly, my trip to London is so short, I just don’t have time. But I’m very glad that they’ve all made it home for Christmas.” Mum-of-two Mariah, who has sold more than 200million records in the last 20 years, will spend the festive period with friends and family in snowy Aspen, Colorado.
As for how hubby Nick Cannon feels about Christmas Mariah told The Sun, “Luckily Nick is almost as over-the-top festive as me. One year we hired Santa Claus to come round with real reindeer who looked as if they were going to fly off into the snow at any moment. Everyone loved it.”
