I believe it is called "All I Want for Christmas is You" and it's not the Mariah Carey version. It sounds older, and at the end, she belts out "All I want for christmas is you". It's not Leann Rhymes either. Any help?

"All I Want for Christmas Is You" is a song written and produced by American singer Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff, and recorded for Carey's fifth album Merry Christmas (1994). Its protagonist declares that she doesn't care about Christmas presents or lights; all she wants for Christmas is to be with her lover. It is unrelated to the 1989 Christmas hit single by novelty act Vince Vance and the Valiants. It was released as the album's first single in December 1994 (see 1994 in music) and reached the top ten in several non-U.S. countries, and it is one of the most commercially successful Christmas singles of the modern era.
According to The New Yorker, it is "one of the few worthy modern additions to the holiday canon".[1] Because the song has achieved such success and acclaim in a relatively short time period, many are unaware that it is an original song written by Carey.[citation needed] It has been covered by singers such as Shania Twain and Samantha Mumba, and bands such as My Chemical Romance. It was performed by Olivia Olson in the film Love Actually (2003). By late 2006, it had become the best-selling holiday ring tone of all time in the U.S.[2]

The only one I can think of is "All I Want for Christmas is You" by Vince Vance and the Valients and sung by Lisa Layne.
Take back the holly and mistletoe
Silver bells on strings
If I wrote a letter to Santa Claus
I would ask for just one thing
I don't need sleigh rides in the snow
Don't wanna a Christmas that's blue
Take back the tinsel, stockings, and bows
Cause all I want for Christmas is you
I don't need expensive things, they don't matter to me
All that I want can't be found underneath the Christmas tree
You are the angel that tops my tree
You are my dream come true
Santa can't bring me what I need
Cause all I want for Christmas is you
I don't need expensive things, they don't matter to me
All that I want can't be found underneath the Christmas tree
You are the angel that tops my tree
You are my dream come true
Santa can't bring me what I need
Cause all I want for Christmas is you
Cause all I want for Christmas is you (repeat twice)

It is Vince Vance & The Valiants and it's from 1994. Great song, but if you get the Christmas cd, you may be disappointed with the other songs on it. They don't sound any thing like that one and other people are singing and I just didn't care for it.

Lisa Layne sings "All I want for Christmas is You". Pull up her name on Amazon.com and see if you can hear the clip to see if this is the version you are looking for.
