Tracks: Silent Night, Holy Night O Little Town Of Bethlehem It Came Upon The Midnight Clear Joy To The World Away In A Manger Gentle Shepherd Blue Christmas We Must Be Having One White Christmas One Happy Christmas Lonely Christmas Call Let's Put Christ Back In Christmas About The Record: Christmas with Tammy by Tammy Wynette was released simultaneously with the first single, The Wonder's You Perform, which was not included on the album. The album, with back up vocals by The Jordanaires, peaked at No. 30 on the Billboard Best Bets for Christmas chart. The album's second single, One Happy Christmas, did not chart. A reviewer on allmusic.com says, "Tammy Wynette was at her commercial peak in 1970 when she released her Christmas disc. A typical Nashville album of the time (containing only ten tracks and running a mere 26 minutes), it featured country treatments of the usual sacred seasonal favorites -- O Little Town of Bethlehem, Away in a Manger -- and secular evergreens like Blue Christmas and White Christmas. Merry Christmas (We Must Be Having One) and One Happy Christmas were new songs in Wynette's standard country style. She and producer Billy Sherrill were playing it safe, which is not a bad thing in a Christmas album."
