Mariah Carey shares her 12-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan, with her ex-husband Nick Cannon.

"Everything is somehow technology driven, so it's not necessarily cheap," the Queen of Christmas revealed to a news publication. "Not that I want it to be cheap, but like, you know, I like them to have a lot of presents to open and everything else."

"But then they don't care about the other ones," Carey noted. "They live for the ones that are a little more on the expensive side."

One aspect of Christmas that Carey is most looking forward to is preparing her late father Alfred's signature clam linguini dish for her loved ones.

"They haven't learned the recipe yet, but they know about it and it's really special to me because it's my father's recipe for my favorite dish that he used to make when I was little," the "Emotions" vocalist expressed of her almost-teenagers.

She added: "I was growing up and it took me so long, but as he was passing away and we were going through that, he wrote down the recipe for me, so it really gets to your heart [when] you just think about it, and it's like, what an incredible journey this has been, so I make it every year at Christmas."
