Mary Christmas is a holiday studio album by American pop singer Eddie Fisher, released in 1965 by Dot Records. It was his second holiday album. Though his popularity had waned by the mid-1960s, the album has gained cult interest among collectors of vintage Christmas music.^{[ citation needed ]} It did not chart on the Billboard Top LPs chart.

Overview

This was the third album Eddie Fisher recorded in 1965. It was recorded and released after the release of his single "Mary Christmas", which didn't chart.

This album was recorded during Fisher's dead era, in which very few songs did well, and most albums were failures, although 1965 was different, because his first album of the year charted quite well, so Dot Records rushed another one, and later this one. This Christmas album didn't help Fisher return to the charts. The album includes Fisher's renditions of several Christmas standards as well as the title track "Mary Christmas", an original holiday ballad.
