Rob Thomas’ Creative Cup Runneth Over With First Christmas Album, New Music With Matchbox Twenty, Carlos Santana
Leena Tailor As a kid, Rob Thomas always thought December 26th was the saddest day of the year. The festive season brought joy amid an at-times turbulent home life and, through the years, that love for Christmas would surface in everything from concert performances dressed as Santa, to the merry wonderland he and wife Marisol create at their Westchester, New York, home every year.So, it’s little surprise that every December when the Matchbox Twenty frontman sits at his piano serenading loved ones with holiday favorites, he wishes he was making a Christmas album.
