We’ve been trying to hold onto summer, even though back-to-school news – and even pumpkin spice stories – have been creeping in.

Now, there’s talk of Christmas.

We may be months away from trimming the tree and hanging up the lights, but some Eagles players are already filled with holiday cheer.

It would be the third year for the so-called Philly Specials – Johnson, Jason Kelce and Jordan Mailata – have made a Christmas album.

Last year’s “A Philly Special Christmas Special” raised more than $3 million for local charities.

It included a duet with Jason and Travis Kelce.

Travis, of course, is dating Taylor Swift.

Just sayin’.
