Merry Christmas is an album of grammophone records by Bing Crosby, released in 1945 on Decca Records, catalogue A-403. It has remained in print through the vinyl and compact disc eras, currently as the disc White Christmas on MCA Records, a part of the Universal Music Group, reissued in June of 1995.

The original album consisted of ten songs on five 78 records, all of which had been previously released. Each one had a holiday theme with the exception of “Danny Boy,” paired with “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” on its original record. Prior to the long-playing album era, such assemblies were not common for well loved music, Merry Christmas instigated by the enormous popularity of the “White Christmas” record. Decca issued a second edition in this format in 1947, catalogue Decca A-550, consisting of four 78s, omitting recordings of “Danny Boy” and “Let’s Start the New Year Right” from the previous release, and including new recordings of “White Christmas” and “Silent Night” from March 19, 1947.

Have A Jingly Merry Cristmas Everyone… I Am From Malaysia…Yeahhh…
have been listening to this song for years now, everytime we decorate our christmas tree:-D
Thank you for your fantastic comment on this post. I appreciate it.
this is the only excellent Christmas song to me- It mixes the ancient school jazz so it’s fascinating. I also like the pauses at the end, these vocalists had some excellent phrasing, really making the song more original. And with Christmas music being so hokey, at least this style fits. By golly!
I know, I have been searching for some law that makes that illegal, but I can’t find anything.
LOL…sounds like cruel and unusual punishment to me.
Our stupid school is playing this repeatedly over the intercom during passing period and they won’t stop until they earn $1,500 from all of us.
Thank you. I’m pleased this brought you excellent memories.
