The Philadelphia Eagles are flying excessive. They’ve one of the best total report within the NFL and are on the quick observe to the NFL playoffs.
While you win as a lot because the Eagles do, that will get you loads of Victory Mondays off. So of their spare time, the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line recorded a Christmas album.
Sure, the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line.
Middle Jason Kelce and tackles Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson are predominantly featured on a seven observe album that covers widespread Christmas songs corresponding to “Santa Claus is Coming to City” and “White Christmas”. We love the Eagles OL and we additionally love Christmas songs, so right here’s our assessment of ‘A Philly Particular Christmas’.

Good Lord, this album completely rocks. Opening up with a banger rendition of “White Christmas,” you possibly can inform that this album was constructed fairly fastidiously, figuring out everybody’s strengths and weaknesses. Kelce has a really gravelly voice, sort of like the way you think about your uncle singing Christmas songs, as does Lane Johnson.
Jordan Mailata can sing his ASS off, although. From his entry on “White Christmas” to “Merry Christmas Child”, Mailata takes over because the star of each music. Like he’s truly REALLY good at this.
One of many funnier tracks on the album is the rendition of Silent Night time. As a substitute of singing the music, on the second verse the choir sings “Eagles” to the tune of Silent Night time. It made me chuckle and was a really good nod to the Eagles fanbase.
The most effective observe on the album is the opener to me. White Christmas is a superb Christmas music, and each participant stands out on their very own manner.
Total, it gave the impression of they’d loads of enjoyable with it, and you’ll inform. This album positively passes the Christmas album take a look at. Even my child sister beloved it!

Look. I’m a New England Patriots fan. I’m nonetheless bitter over Tremendous Bowl LII. The title of this album? ‘A Philly Particular Christmas’!? This album began out with two strikes towards it.
It someway hammered a fastball low and away out of the park.
I beloved it. Completely beloved it. It begins out sturdy, with their rendition of “White Christmas.” Then Kelce and Johnson take their flip at “Blue Christmas,” and utterly pull it off.
Then the album takes an absolute star flip.
As a result of Jordan Mailata completely crushes “Merry Christmas Child.” We’re speaking Bryce Harper in Recreation 5 towards the San Diego Padres. Truthfully, this shouldn’t be a shock. Mailata’s musical chops have been lengthy established. Right here’s a video of him from a “Luau in October” occasion again in 2019:
And when the Eagles held their crew vacation social gathering final week, Mailata took a flip on the mic:
Unimaginable.
Talking of unimaginable, the following observe is a studying of “The Night time Earlier than Christmas,” from Eagles long-time radio announcer Merrill Reese. It goes precisely how you’d think about the long-time radio voice of the Eagles studying “The Night time Earlier than Christmas” would sound. It’s overly dramatic, extremely amped up, and completely good for the texture of complete album.
However actually, my favourite observe on your complete album is likely to be “Christmas (Child Please Come House).” It’s lengthy been a favourite Christmas music of mine, and Kelce, Johnson and Mailata work so effectively collectively on this observe.
The true take a look at? We listened to the album as a household. Everybody beloved it, particularly Simone, who mentioned it was “up there with Ariana Grande.”
