Background
"Christmas This Year" was released as a single on November 30, 2010. It was later included in TobyMac's first Christmas album, Christmas In Diverse City. TobyMac said while talking about making the song, "Christmas is the most celebrated time of the year for my family. While we were recording the song, we had a week-long Christmas party at my house…in July!!! I wanted to write a song that captured that pure delight without missing the spirit of the season… when love came down to let us live."
