After a break between projects aside from re-releases and remasters, ([[Almanac 2009]] and [[Live (Only Not)]]), Neil uploaded I Am Become Christmas to his YouTube channel along with a short message before, saying that it was also available for $5 on Bandcamp. This album featured the first new songs released officially in a bundle since [[View-Monster]], but new tracks from other projects like [[Brodyquest]] and [[Redesign Your Logo]] had been released as singles on multiple platforms.
Unlike previous and subsequent Lemon Demon releases, little is known about ''I Am Become Christmas'' prior to its release date. It was originally released as ''I Am Become Christmas EP'', but the word "EP" was dropped from the title when Needlejuice Records re-released it.
