You may have heard that Mariah Carey is on the verge of getting a trademark for the name “Christmas” for the month of December.
This is a story that is sure to generate some controversy, especially in the politically correct world.
But let’s not focus on the politics. Let’s focus on the music, which is one of the world’s most loved songs ever.
So, just what exactly is the trademark application that would grant Mariah Carey the exclusive rights to being “Queen of Christmas” on the radio stations and websites?
Mariah Carey: Mariah Carey Is the Queen of Christmas
It’s just that simple. It is what it is.
She is officially the Queen of Christmas as “Queen of Music”, in a nod towards the hit Christmas song by the same name, which has been in the top 10 charts for 46 weeks in a row.
On the other hand, she’s still the Queen of Christmas as the woman who is known in the music world as the Queen of Pop.
This trademark application has been in the works for the past year and a half.
Why is there so much controversy about the trademark?
