Contents

Despite the EP's artwork and title, the band has stated that it is not a festive-themed release, noting, "This is no Christmas record. This is five brand new songs, written and recorded in the winter of late 2011 and very early 2012. This is a companion to our summer EP, Greetings From Less Than Jake. Consider both groups of songs; the salt to the pepper, the peanut butter to the jelly, you get it right?" [1]
