''Christmas Album'' is a late- 1968 album by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass . It was the group's eleventh release. Although the Brass' albums eventually fell out of print for a good many years, the ''Christmas Album'' was and is still typically available in stores during the holiday season. The album is a typical holiday mixture of religious and secular music, mostly American holiday standards, with the exception of the traditional Hispanic number, "Las Mañanitas". It literally means "The Little Mornings", and is sung on the morning of one's birthday celebration, or the day of a religious figure such as a saint. The cover features the image of Alpert, who is Jewish, dressed as Santa Claus while playing his trumpet. Collaborating with Alpert in the production was his usual cadre of musicians: Nick Ceroli, Bob Edmondson, Tonni Kalash, Lou Pagani, John Pisano and Pat Senatore. Alpert lends his voice to several of the songs, and there are also appearances by a studio choir and string instruments, arranged by Shorty Rogers . TRACK LISTING # Winter Wonderland (R. Smith - F.
