First released: 1999
One would think that McCartney would be the first to release a Christmas album, but to date he still has not save for the "Wonderful Christmastime"/"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reggae" single from 1979. Anyway, Ringo’s album is half Christmas standards and half new compositions. The new ones repeat the excellence found on "Vertical Man" and the standards are as good as one could find on anyone else’s Christmas album, so overall all it is a fun time and stands up well to repeat holiday plays. The highlight is Ringo’s remake of The Beatles’ "Christmas Time is Here Again", one of the few fully-realized tunes from "The Beatles Christmas Record" days.
