There's an ongoing debate on what the the best "modern" Christmas tune out there.  A lot of people are saying that Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is the winner hands down.  I brought up, Faith Hill's "Where Are You Christmas"...only to find out that Mariah Carey actually is a writer of that song as well.  Annnnnnd, she originally recorded it.  But because of  legal issues between her and her ex-husband, Tommy Motola, she couldn't get the rights to release it. One person who benefited from this is Faith Hill. Amazing what you find out when you dig a little deeper.
