Do you know what makes everyone happy? Christmas music. No, no. That's not a question. It's just a fact. And when it comes to holiday songs that make me happy, Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is at the top of my list, as is Darlene Love's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)."
So when I heard that Mariah was trying to trademark the Queen of Christmas title and that Darlene love was NOT having it, I knew I had to tell you all about it.
To be fair, what would the holiday season be WITHOUT blasting "All I Want For Christmas Is You" for 2 months straight?
Of course, great songs came before and after this hit, but there's nothing quite like it!
As fans will recall, Darlene sang the hit on David Letterman’s show every year from 1986 to 2014.
The saxophone solo in this song sends me into Christmas bliss every single year!
In light of this news, Darlene took to her social media to call out the songstress.
"David Letterman officially declared me the Queen of Christmas 29 years ago, a year before she released ”All I want For Christmas Is You” and at 81 years of age I’m NOT changing anything."
Honestly, I can't argue with Darlene — both she and Mariah have done so much to influence Christmas music, and music in general — and they're both queens to me!
