Mariah Carey's visit to the Library of Congress in December was a special moment in her career. As she stepped onto the stage for Live! at the Library, she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. The evening was filled with festive decorations and holiday cheer, creating the perfect backdrop for her performance.
But the highlight of Mariah's visit came when she was presented with a certificate by Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden. The certificate commemorated the induction of her beloved anthem, "All I Want For Christmas Is You," into the prestigious National Recording Registry. Mariah was overwhelmed with gratitude and emotion as she accepted the honor, her eyes shining with pride.
Taking to social media to express her thanks, Mariah shared her disbelief at receiving such a prestigious accolade. She never imagined that a song she wrote and recorded on a whim would go on to receive such recognition. She thanked Ms. Hayden and the Library of Congress for their support and acknowledgment of her work.
In a candid conversation, Mariah reflected on the journey that led to this moment. She recalled how she wrote "All I Want For Christmas Is You" from the heart, never imagining it would become the holiday classic it is today.

Mariah's song now sits alongside timeless classics like John Lennon's "Imagine" and Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" in the National Recording Registry. It's a testament to the song's cultural, and historical significance, as well as its enduring appeal.
The Library of Congress chose Mariah's song because it has become synonymous with the holiday season. Its infectious melody and heartfelt lyrics have touched the hearts of millions around the world, making it a beloved part of holiday celebrations everywhere.
As Mariah basks in the glow of this prestigious honor, she remains humble and grateful for the recognition. She sees it as a reminder of the power of music to unite and uplift us, especially during the festive season.
In celebrating Mariah Carey's induction into the National Recording Registry, we not only honor the legacy of her music but also recognize the magic of music to bring us together.
