All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah

Mariah Carey’s version of “All I Want For Christmas Is You” is one of my most favorite Christmas songs to listen to around the holidays. “All I Want For Christmas Is You“, an original composition, was part of Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas album which is also her 5th album released on 1994. Contrary to the misconception that the song was a cover, Mariah and Walter Afanasieff actually collaborated to write this original song. Other artists such as Shania Twain, My Chemical Romance, The Cheetah Girls, and others have made their own versions of the song. As much as I respect these artists, nothing beats Mariah’s version.

“All I Want For Christmas Is You” was even featured in one of my favorite movies of all time in 2003, Love Actually. In 2006, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” became the best-selling holiday ringtone of all time. I should know, it was my ringtone as well .
