Has there ever been an album you wanted to hear more — knowing quite well that you may want to hear it only once? A Bob Dylan Christmas album may sound like a Saturday Night Live premise, but it's being billed as a traditional affair, with versions of "Here Comes Santa Claus," "Winter Wonderland," "Little Drummer Boy" and "Must Be Santa." All of Dylan's proceeds will go to charities that feed the hungry during the holidays, but even if the proceeds were going to finance another Dylan movie, it'd be worth shelling out for what, good or bad, promises to be the most memorable Christmas album in many seasons.
