Sara Evans may have just recorded the most important album of her 20 year career… at least when it comes to sentimental factors.

"The first song I sang was 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,' and I kept getting choked up," Evans tells Rolling Stone Country. "I'm always trying to think of something to give me inspiration or put me in a certain mindset. And I kept thinking, a Christmas album is very special because it's timeless. So then I started thinking about when my kids are older and I'm dead, and they're drunk celebrating Christmas… [laughs] listening to these songs, they're going to be so sad. I'm just kidding, they won't be drunk. But they'll cry! So I want this album to be special."
