[amazon-product text="The Christmas Collection" type="text"]B001EC6JPI[/amazon-product] is a Christmas compilation album released by American Christian singer Amy Grant in 2008. It is her second Christmas compilation album, after 2005′s My Best Christmas.
The compilation includes fourteen previously released Christmas songs from Grant’s three Christmas albums, A Christmas Album, Home for Christmas, and A Christmas to Remember, as well as four new songs.
Of these four songs, two are cover versions while two are original compositions. The two cover versions are “Jingle Bells” and “Count Your Blessings”. The latter is taken from the 1954 jukebox musical film White Christmas, and even though Grant has stated she has not watched it yet, she recorded the song for its message. The version of “Jingle Bells” is a cover of the arrangement written by Marty Paich, sung by Barbra Streisand. The two new songs are “I Need a Silent Night”, co-written with constant collaborator Chris Eaton (“Breath of Heaven (Mary’s Song)”); and “Baby, It’s Christmas”, co-written with husband and fellow singer Vince Gill.
