===Recording process===
All songs on ''Christmas with Weezer'' were recorded by [[Pat Wilson]] with the exception of bass guitar provided by [[Scott Shriner]].<ref>[[Pat Wilson|Wilson, Patrick]] (as thefranklinmint). (October 28, 2010). ''All Things Weezer'' post. Screenshot: [[:File:Pat Christmas with Weezer ATW citation.jpg]].</ref> Lead vocals were recorded by [[Rivers Cuomo]] separately. Some changes and enhancements were made to the songs when they were re-released online as a digital EP. The new versions were remixed and now contained vocal harmonies from guitarist [[Brian Bell]], altered lead vocals from Cuomo (removing some of the extensive vocal doubling) and added tambourine on "[[Silent Night]]".

::''There was no producer per se. Pat and Rivers just did it with minimal assistance, in a side studio at the same facility (“The Document Room”) in Malibu that they were working on Raditude in with [[Jacknife Lee]]. Pat was basically told to make it happen, so as far as the basic mixing and producing duties, it was him, although certainly Rivers had a part to play too, at times. It was a very low key thing that they just grinded out when there was downtime up at the main studio.''
