I found it interesting that the version of this album available for streaming and digital stores (e.g., Spotify, Amazon, and Apple) is the original 1957 release titled Elvis' Christmas Album whereas the Billboard 200 lists the album by a later reissue, It's Christmas Time, which cannot be found on Spotify or Apple. Furthermore, although the album has one entry one Wikipedia, it has three entries on Discogs.

I recently elevated My Gift from a 5.4 to a 5.6 because I like it so much, and decided that would require lowering the rating of the two holiday albums rated a 5.6 to a 5.4 (These Are Special Times and Elvis' Christmas Album).
Overall Rating: 5.4/5
