Trivia/Info
- Flansburgh on the song's creation and recording:[1]
[Christmas Cards] is a really fucked-up recording that was performed completely spontaneously. We just rolled tape. Nobody knew what key anybody was going to play in. It was completely experimental, and it came out okay. But I don’t know if it holds up to repeated listening, and it didn’t seem as action-packed as other tracks we included [on Holidayland].
- When asked why this song didn't make the Holidayland EP, Flansburgh stated, "I've never thought about what happened. It is a crazy recording. Maybe it just is better existing as a rarity..."[2]
- According to this interview, "Christmas Cards [was not] on Holidayland because Flansburgh was never too happy with it, although Linnell really likes it."
