A Merry Little Christmas (Linda Ronstadt album)

A Merry Little Christmas is a Christmas album by American singer/songwriter/producer Linda Ronstadt, released in 2000. It was the final release under Ronstadt's recording contract with the Elektra/Asylum Records label for whom Linda had recorded since 1973 (twenty-seven years to that point). John Boylan returned as Linda's producer for this disc. Cover art and design Kosh

Among the highlights of this disc is Ronstadt's duet with the late Rosemary Clooney on the track "White Christmas".

Ronstadt and Elektra differed on the final playing order: "They wanted me to start with 'Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire'. I was tired of bargaining with them. I had this scheme where it started with ancient and went to modern. I always like to organize chronologically."
