In November, the five-time Grammy winner sat down with ABC News’ Juju Chang to reflect on the song’s legacy and to discuss her holiday tour Merry Christmas One and All Tour.
“I was working on it by myself … on this little Casio keyboard and writing down words and thinking about, ‘What do I think of at Christmas? What do I love? What do I want? What do I dream of?'” Carey said, “And that’s what started it. My goal was to do something timeless, so it didn’t feel like the ’90s, which is when I wrote it,” she said.
Well she definitely accomplished just that as families across the country are still na laying her hit song today.
