Steven Jamail:“It happened really fast.
I was like, ‘I don’t want to write a Christmas song.’
And I didn’t want to write another cheesy musical theater Christmas song.
And I think Katie basically was like, ‘You know what?
And I think we kind of did it all in one night.
It was really fast.”
Katie Rose Clarke:“Yeah, we’ve kind of just been sitting on this song since then.
That was, like, 10 years ago now.
Steven Jamail:“Katie has such good instincts.
It’s very much like a writer brain.
I mean [he] totally was such an advocate that I could do it.
Katie Rose Clarke:“I think it came together so well.
I think the trickiest part we had was with the bridge and figuring out how to…
It’s such a story song that it really kind of came together well.
Steven Jamail:“What is on the recording is very friendly to anything proper that we mentioned.
And then we have one that’s a little sassier and cheekier that sometimes we’ll do live.”
Sometimes people associate it with, like, that gold tequila.
So we have a much more friendlier version of that, which is what’s on the record.”
The General Response to the Song
“To have it officially out was super exciting.
And everybody was just really excited for us to actually take to that step.”
Katie Rose Clarke:“Well, it’s been so sweet.
Our friends all kind of know it, and our families certainly know the song.
Our circle really knows the song and has known it all these years …
It’s very its own thing.
It doesn’t really get cold half the time.
It’s not an eggnog, hot toddy kind of place for parties.
People make margaritas.”
Especially post-Thanksgiving, everybody kind of wants something different.
…
And because Steven and I grew up I mean, our families knew each other.
We grew up in same hometown, we knew each other growing up .
And then, just having the country roots.
I mean, … that’s the kind of music I grew up listening to.”
So that was really exciting.
But I don’t know.
I mean, I’m not really, I’m not a recording artist.
I mean, I think if we could, Steven and I do concerts together regularly.
