This was a thrift store find - not surprising, Indiana has more religious Christmas vinyl (i.e. Word, Sword, custom-pressed evangelists, etc) than any other state in the Union.
Bryant's first Christmas LP came in 1967 - "Do You Hear What I Hear?" (Columbia CL 2720 - mono, Columbia CS 9520 stereo). At some point, that album was rereleased and retitled "Christmas With" but kept the same label numbers (our friend Inkydog has this album at his blog Cheerful Earful).
This album was released on Word Records in 1972 and doesn't repeat any of the songs on her previous Christmas album. Most of the songs are of the religious nature of Christmas (not many contemporary songs).
Anita Bryant - The Miracle Of Christmas
I suppose I could type a thousand words about Bryant's politics and show you a YouTube video of her famous press conference where she got a pie in the face from a protester. However, I won't and I ask that any comment left here will be about the music - nothing less.
Happy listening...
