James Taylor: A Christmas Album is singer-songwriter James Taylor's first Christmas album. It was released on a limited-edition basis in 2004, with distribution through Hallmark Cards. Like most of the annual Hallmark Christmas albums, the album was retailed outside the normal Billboard chart system and so did not register on album charts. The albums were also not carried by all Hallmark Cards stockists.[1]
Track listing

The album originally came with an online code that could be used to download an outtake from the sessions, a cover of Joni Mitchell's "River". In 2006, Taylor's regular label, Columbia Records, reissued the album under a new title (James Taylor at Christmas) and cover. This new version also altered the track listing, with "Deck the Halls" removed and two other songs ("Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and the aforementioned cover of "River") added.
