"I don't know of too many double Christmas albums, so it is something that's new, and hopefully will be fun, and there's plenty of stuff out there to cut"
About this Quote
The line works because it treats bloat as a feature, then disarms you before you can roll your eyes. Christmas records are notorious for feeling interchangeable, a conveyor belt of standards and syrup. Brooks acknowledges that sameness with “plenty of stuff out there to cut,” a candid admission that the season comes with its own editorial fatigue. He’s nodding to the listener’s suspicion: Do we need more “White Christmas”? By saying the quiet part out loud, he buys trust.
There’s also an artist’s calculus underneath the laid-back tone. A double album signals abundance, a big-tent gesture that fits Brooks’ arena-sized persona. At the same time, “hopefully will be fun” keeps the stakes intentionally low, repositioning the project as communal entertainment rather than sacred holiday canon. It’s an invitation to treat the album like a buffet: take what you like, skip what you don’t.
Context matters here: the Christmas album is both tradition and product, a ritualized commercial moment. Brooks’ phrasing navigates that tension by leaning into novelty and choice, making consumption feel like participation rather than obligation.
