Originally released in 1959 under the title Christmas In My Heart, this album proved its longevity by being making regular appearances on the holiday charts over the next five or six years. Indeed, so popular was the album it was subsequently reissued in 1966 as Connie's Christmas.  At the time of its original release, Connie was the leading female singer of the day and, some five decades later, still vies with Madonna for the title of the best selling female artist of all time.
