Mariah Carey has revealed that her childhood Christmases were far from perfect.
The singer, who is famous for her festive tune All I Want For Christmas Is You, explained that she now wants to ensure that Christmas is a magical experience for her children.
Speaking to Cosmopolitan UK, Mariah said: “Growing up I had a very dysfunctional family.”
“I always wanted to have a really good time at Christmas and they would ruin it, so I vowed in my own life I would make sure every Christmas was great.”
“I want to make it magical for my kids,” she expressed.
“You know, I think it’s this kind of childlike love of Christmas that saved me.”
“I go through so much all year long just to have a great Christmas.”
The singer appeared on the cover of this month’s Cosmo magazine.
