From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Christmas Songs by Sinatra is the third studio album by the American singer Frank Sinatra. It was released on October 4, 1948, as a 78 rpm album set of four 78 rpm records in an actual album and as a 10" LP record (CL 6019) featuring a collection of eight holiday songs. It included four songs previously released as singles, one recorded four years earlier in 1944, and four songs not released as singles, one recorded July 3, 1947 ("Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas") and three recorded on December 28, 1947, for the album.
Columbia reissued the album several times in later years with alternate track listings and different artwork. 1957 saw the first 12" release as Christmas Dreaming (CL 1032) with the addition of "Christmas Dreaming (A Little Early This Year)" (recorded July 3, 1947) and "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" (recorded November 5, 1950), though the latter was dropped from later releases when the album was reissued and retitled as Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (Harmony HS 11200) in October 1966. This version peaked at No. 42 on Billboard's Best Bets For Christmas album chart on December 21, 1968.
A compilation album was released in 1994 including the eight songs released on the 1948 album (three original takes; five previously unreleased alternate takes) along with the two other Christmas songs he recorded at Columbia. It also includes an introduction by a general and four recording from rehearsals or broadcasts of songs performed on radio shows and issued only as V-Discs to American military during WW II.
A stylized paper craft version of the LP album with its original 1948 Christmas tree cover art is prominently featured in the official music video for Sinatra's "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!". However, the 1948 version of the album did not contain the track.

Home to Myself Review by William Ruhlmann:
Now, I dont have the soul of Joni, and I cannot see myself like Miss Laura, sang Melissa Manchester on Funny That Way, thus marking out the competition. Like Mitchell and Nyro, Manchester was a piano-playing female singer, but she was right in noting that while there was a surface similarity in their musical approaches, she did not dig quite as deep emotionally as her predecessors. Manchester came from a lighter pop, supper club tradition, and on her debut album, singing songs most of which had lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager, she explored a territory that seemed almost barren at the time a sophisticated, non-rock pop/jazz style that emphasized delivery and chops over individualistic, confessional writing. (It bore some similarities to the style of Manchesters former employer, the more flamboyant Bette Midler.) Not surprisingly, she did not find an immediate audience for such an approach, though this promising album did reach the charts.
