Written by Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff in 1993
Not to get confused with the 1989 Country hit of the same name by Vince and his Valiants. Mariah Carey's Christmas ode to an unnatural obsession with Kriss Kringle instantly became a Christmas classic when it was released off of Mariah's 4th studio album Merry Christmas.
Oh, and there was something about Mariah Carey circa 1993 wearing a Mrs. Claus costume in the video...
Yeah...the video.
Okay, what I appreciate about the song is that is was written by Mariah (and Walter Afanasieff)and not just another recycled "classic". Back to the costume, who we really need to thank for Mariah's wardrobe in the video is the ultra-greasy Tommy Mottola (her ex-husband) as he was played "greasy" Santa Claus in the video and there can be no Santa Claus without a Misses.
Merry Christmas Mariah
