Mense can maa’ make gat of Mariah Carey’s love of Christmas.
She doesn’t care, Mariah said on model Naomi Campbell’s YouTube chat show, called No Filter.
The All I Want for Christmas Is You hitmaker said she loves the festive season so much because it’s all she wanted from the holidays as a child.

The mom of twins Moroccan and Monroe, nine, with ex-husband Nick Cannon said she’ll be doing a Christmas special show to bring some ‘festiveness to the world”, especially amid all the pandemic gloom.
Mariah, 51, said: “I know it’s like ‘HA HA she loves Christmas’, no I literally do...
“‘I know people are like ‘you loooove Christmas!’ and they make fun of me, but it’s OK because I do. I actually do. It’s what I love.”
She said her love for Christmas stems from her childhood days when she yearned for a lekker Krismis.
The Hero hitmaker told Naomi: “I was a sad kid that wanted Christmas to be great. I wanted a real family that cared about me. I wanted them to care and I wanted them not to ruin it and they ruined it every year…”
When her 1994 festive hit topped the Billboard 100 chart for the first time last year, she said: “I was looking at the Christmas tree and I felt at peace.”
