, the veteran group's fourth seasonal set, was, as the song says, only the beginning for its holiday festivities.
"I usually try to check in with what’s going on with the holidays and try to get into the festivities with the family," trumpeter Lee Loughnane, who produced tells Billboard. "If there's a football game on I'll usually watch that, but it's good to feel a part of everything this year."which hit No. 1 on the Holiday Album Sales chart, was something of a surprise for the band according to Loughnane and singer-keyboardist Robert Lamm.
Lamm adds that he initially "thought we had done all the holiday songs a group could do. But the songs kept coming, and they're decent songs. I have peers who have heard some of these songs and are like, 'These are so great. They're another reason why Chicago should continue to make new, original music albums whenever you can.
