Avril Lavigne says she may one day do a Christmas album.

Avril Lavigne may revive the Christmas album some day.

And Lavigne's take on a potential Christmas album will surprise some people.

"I would make it completely traditional," Lavigne said.

Talk of a possible Christmas album came up when it was pointed out to Lavigne that at this stage of her career -- having "made it," so to speak -- the 22-year-old really can do whatever she wants, musically or otherwise.

"It's good, I'm relieved," Lavigne said.

"My first record came out and it was really big, and then I basically said, 'I'm set, now I have a career for the rest of my life.' But when I'm writing my songs and making my records, I still have that feeling of, 'This has to be good, this has to be good.'

"And I want to do other things also, outside of music -- have some fun with acting and do a couple of movies. I have one scene in (a coming movie called The Flock, starring Richard Gere), and I've done a couple of small things, but now I'm looking to do a big part."

Lavigne, who never has been shy with regard to striking fashion statements, wouldn't mind getting into the clothing business, either.

"I'd love to do a clothing line, I think that would be so much fun," Lavigne said. "I always have been visual, I have a million ideas and I love fashion.

"But as far as different styles of music go, I never really know what I'm going to do until I'm working on the next record.

"I think it would be fun to do an acoustic record, or a Christmas record one time."
