"But I didn't think anybody needs to hear me sing 'Jingle Bells.' You know, nobody needs to hear anybody honestly sing 'Jingle Bells' again. But I think I managed to pick some really cool covers, so I think it's got it's own original sound. "The album was recorded this summer at Thomas' home studio north of New York City; Thomas leaned on yuletide decorations and nonstop movies on the Hallmark Channel while creating this album. "They have this thing called 'Christmas in July,' so in the studio I have this big-screen TV with no sound on and Christmas lights everywhere," he says. "My whole bubble of people would know what I was doing. Whenever I was talking to someone on the phone, before they got off they'd say, 'Merry Christmas, Rob.'"
