''Reason For The Season" is a Christmas album by American singer-songwriter Music/MikeLove released in 2018. In a similar fashion to ''Music/TheBeachBoysChristmasAlbum'', the tracklist contains a mix of traditional christmas songs, covers and originals.
Featured on the album are Mike's children, to the point that the last five tracks feature all of them as "[[BandOfRelatives All Love]]". Mike's sister Maureen (known for her harp work on Music/TheBeachBoys' ''Music/SurferGirl'') plays on a cover of "O Holy Night" and the band {{Music/Hanson}} is featured on "Finally, It's Christmas". The track "Alone On Christmas Day" was originally recorded for The Beach Boys' cancelled christmas LP ''Music/MerryChristmasFromTheBeachBoys'' and got rerecorded for this album.
!!Tracklist:
# "Celestial Celebration"
# "Finally, It's Christmas"
# "Little St. Nick"
# "Must Be Christmas"
# "Jingle Bell Rock" (Bobby Helms cover)
# "Alone on Christmas Day"
# "Reason for the Season"
# "Do You Hear What I Hear"
# "Away In a Manger"
# "Bring a Torch"
# "O Come All Ye Faithful"
# "O Holy Night"

!! ''Reason for the tropes'':
* AlbumTitleDrop:
--> ''The '''reason for the the season''' ''\\
''We believe in''\\
''The '''reason for the the season''' ''\\
''Happened way back when''
* BandOfRelatives: Mike's children are featured on the album and credited as "All Love".
* CallForward: "Celestial Celebration" references lyrics of "Alone On Christmas Day"
* ChristmasSongs
* CoverVersion: "Jingle Bell Rock" (originally by Bobby Helms) and "Do You Hear What I Hear" (first performed by Harry Simeone). The last four tracks are traditional Christmas songs.
* FadeOut: "Alone On Christmas Day" ends with one.
* LyricalColdOpen: "Finally, It's Christmas" and "O Come All Ye Faithful".
* MythologyGag: "Reason For The Season" features the "Shortenin' Bread riff", in reference to the eponymous nursery rhyme which is one of Music/BrianWilson's obsession from the seventies to today. This is a rare example provided by Mike (it is also present on his "Sugar Shack" cover from ''Music/RockNRollCity'').
* ThePowerOfLove: "Reason for the Season":
--> ''Hope we all can do what we've been taught''\\
''Love's the most powerful weapon we've got''
* RadioVoice: During the outro of "Alone On Christmas Day" before the song fades out.
* SantaClausmas: Averted, "Reason for the Season" reminds people about the religious origins of Christmas.
* ShoutOut: "Alone On Christmas Day" starts with the iconic drum intro of [[Music/RonnieSpector The Ronettes]]' "Be My Baby".
* SpecialGuest: Fraternal pop trio Hanson is featured on the song "Finally, It's Christmas", which they wrote for a previous Christmas album.
** Fellow Beach Boy Music/BruceJohnston provides backing vocals.
* StockFootage: Prominently featured on the music video for "Reason for the Season".
* TitleDrop: On each track.
* WintryAuroralSky: The aurora borealis featured on the cover.
