They’re bringing gifts to baby Jesus, and he doesn’t have anything, he’s poor. “There’s a little boy and of course, I think of my five-year-old Isaiah. With video clips of Carrie’s 5-year-old son, Isaiah, with a headset on and performing in a booth with her, she shared: “Little Drummer Boy” is one of Carrie’s favorites because of the honest sentiment behind it. She admitted it was “really hard” to name a Christmas album, so she tried to think about the songs that were on the album as a whole, and each individual song, revealing that one of her favorites is “Little Drummer Boy.” So right after the Cry Pretty Tour 360 was over, this was the next step I knew I wanted to take.” I’ve always wanted to do a Christmas album, and it has to be something well-thought-out. I just felt like it was such a fitting time, kind of feel like it’s a more perfect time than ever to record an album like this.
