CD COMMENT:
This was a very easy and fun CD to make. But the printing of the artwork was a real pain.

ART WORK COMMENT:
Again I tried the 'raised' look of the lettering on the back cover of the CD. I had to make the font really small because of the amount of tracks this year. Doing so made the lettering look bad. I was not happy with how the artwork ended up (especially when printed). I struggled with how small the lettering had to be and I tried many different fonts. On another version of the Tray Liner I used the Impact font. I do not remember if any of those were printed or distributed.

SONG COMMENT:
We thought it would be fun to do the 'funny' Christmas songs from the Bob Rivers 'Twisted Christmas' series. Drake was of the age where he understood most of the songs and enjoyed the humor. So, we picked around 40 songs and whittled it down to 33. This is the second time we made a CD the only had one artist. You really need to 'listen' to this CD in order to fully enjoy it. There are lots of humorous parts to some songs that are buried in the mix.

MATLERIALS COMMENT:
I must be a complete moron going back to the 'thick' photo paper. It was incredibly tough to bend, and it ended up being 'sticky', and stuck to the jewel case. We used the Silver Maxell 700 MB CDs this year and the black tray liner jewel cases. I think I printed some of these CDs on card stock, and I do remember running out of ink during some of the printing. This was just a bad year with the materials.

DRAKE INTRO:
Drake sang, 'All I Want For Christmas'.

DRAKE OUTRO:
Drake sings, 'I'm Gettin' Nuttin' For Christmas', then says, 'Ah, who am I kidding, I'm getting everything!'. Later in the track he says, 'Hhmmm, I love most of you'. Then Angie and Drake both start laughing.
