Mariah Carey Calls Mary, Mother of Jesus, ‘Queen of Christmas’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Many have jokingly called Mariah Carey the Queen of Christmas. Her 1994 song “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” is a smash hit, gaining millions of streams every year at Christmas.
However, Carey believes someone else deserves the title of Queen of Christmas. In a new interview on the Zoe Hall Breakfast Show, Carey spoke about her love of the holiday and why she “doesn’t consider” herself the Christmas Queen.
“I’m someone that loves Christmas, that happened to be blessed to write ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You,’” the singer said. “And a lot of other Christmas songs. And let’s face it, you know, everybody’s faith is what it is. But to me, Mary is the Queen of Christmas.”
The singer has always been very open about her faith, especially in her recent book, “The Meaning of Mariah Carey.” She writes about all the ways God’s grace has touched her and shaped her life. In one chapter, she writes about meeting Rev. Clarence Keaton, the man who helped her rebuild her life after a breakdown.
“After I was broken, I received a blessing,” Carey wrote. “The trouble and trauma I endured was not only emotional; it was spiritual, as well. As such, I sought healing for my soul. I knew I had to revive and recommit to my relationship with God.”
“In the end, and in the beginning, it’s all about faith for me,” the singer continued. “I can’t define it, but it has defined me.”
Carey has lots of Christmas projects in the works this year, from new Christmas track “Fall In Love At Christmas,” to plans for another children’s book, to a holiday-themed McDonald’s meal.
According to Movieguide®, “The Grammy-winning artist and the fast-food chain created a new menu called McDonald’s Mariah Menu, which started Monday, Dec. 13, and will continue for 12 days during the month of Dec. The menu is available to customers who spend $1 or more on the McDonald’s app.”
