Last week many of us across the US gathered for the Thanksgiving holiday, and the Hanson families certainly had robust festivities complete with family meals and even a couple turkey induced naps. Most importantly this week, we have permission to kick off the Christmas season, and turn on the Christmas music, so turn up the holiday tunes!

As we head into the holiday season, we hope you can enjoy a bit of extra cheer. The time with family, and gifts and travel and all the trimmings can also bring a bit of holiday blues, so whatever the mood, we hope at least we have helped offer a festive soundtrack for to keep things jolly.

This week's story blog reflects on the band's quality time earning our Garage Band status with the literal garage recordings back to the early 90’s which ultimately resulted in many of the songs you know (MMMBop, Thinking Of You, With You In Your Dreams) and more. We hope you enjoy that reflective story, jotted down just for you.

Whether you’re in London or in Santa Fe, we can now say Finally It’s Christmas…or at least, finally it's justified to embrace the nostalgia and your best (or worst) Christmas sweaters.

Thanks for listening

Isaac, Taylor and Zac
