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.
