    First things first: I am not complaining in the least. I simply can't wait to hibernate in my own bed for a solid 2 days straight after Christmas - ha!

    This first tour for us has been such a joy to be a part of, despite some (very) early call times, lost luggage (ugh...), rough weather, & frustrating traffic jams on the Interstate. Late on Monday night, we drove from NYC to Boston, slept for 15 minutes, did 5 or 6 radio/TV promo stops in Beantown Tuesday morning, and rolled back to NYC yesterday (5 hours for one car, 7 hours for those fortunate enough to be in the van stuck in traffic).

    This morning we're singing on "Fox & Friends" in NYC during the 8 AM program hour and headed our separate ways to be with family for the next 24 hours. We'll then reassemble in Cleveland to sing the National Anthem & Halftime Show at tomorrow night's Cavs/Wizards game. Tune into ABC/ESPN on Christmas Day to catch some commercial bumpers we'll be featured in (keep an eye out for the goofs - or is it gooves? - in scarves and Santa hats singing about the Lakers & Celtics - ha!).

    We got word yesterday driving back to NYC that "Holiday Spirits" is #1 on iTunes & Amazon and couldn't be happier. Thank you for your support of the album and helping us reach this milestone. Big props go out to our product manager Cyndi at Atlantic, who has "Holiday Spirits" & the "Twilight" movie soundtrack as #1 & 2 on iTunes. She's been a tremendous member of our team this year and we appreciate her hard work, long hours in the office, and dedication to building our brand at Atlantic. She definitely deserves some relaxation at home for Christmas! Cyndi, if you're reading this, please stop, go drink some (soy) egg nog, and take a nap or something ;)

    Thank you to everyone who has come out to support us on this tour. You have put us on the map by telling your families about "Holiday Spirits," watching & commenting on the clips online, bringing friends to concerts, you name it. We've made so many new fans & friends in Chicago, Toronto, NY, DC, San Francisco, LA, & Indy and are anticipating even bigger & better things for 2009. Stay tuned!

    From all of us on the road, we wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, & very blessed, healthy New Year. Thanks for stopping by.

    Cheers,

    Ryan
