Christmas is the seventh album released by the Sons of the San Joaquin. It marks the first independently produced and released Sons recording since 1991's Bound for the Rio Grande. The songs are all Christmas standards. There would not be an original Sons-related Christmas recording until member Lon Hannah's solo album featured a lone Christmas song called "Cowboy Christmas," which was a reworking by Sons associate Bill Thornbury of Percy Faith and Spencer Maxwell's "Christmas Is."
