Overview
Marking Rogers' third Christmas album and his first in five years, Rogers and Norman have produced a series of classic tunes, including the new title track. The album has been referenced such that, on auto-repeat, running it endlessly will "quickly drive you batty".
The title track was never released as a single but the album did strike the charts; on the Billboard 200, it peaked at #119 while on the more familiar Country charts, it peaked at #45.
