My Kind of Christmas
''My Kind of Christmas'' is the third studio album and first Christmas album by American singer Christina Aguilera. It was released on October 24, 2000, by RCA Records. The album was recorded from late-1999 to late-2000, while Aguilera was touring to promote her first two studio albums: ''Christina Aguilera'' (1999) and ''Mi Reflejo'' (2000). ''My Kind of Christmas'' contains cover versions of Christmas standards, such as "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "Angels We Have Heard on High", as well as several original recordings, which incorporate dance-pop elements. The album was produced by Ron Fair, The Matrix, Robbie Buchanan, Barry Harris and Chris Cox.
''My Kind of Christmas'' received generally mixed to negative reviews from music critics, who criticized its musical style, as well as Aguilera's vocal delivery. The album peaked at number 28 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), having sold 1,015,000 copies there. Aguilera appeared on several television shows, such as ''The Early Show'' and ''The David Letterman Show'', to promote the album, and also performed a special concert for ABC, which was released on DVD in June 2001, as ''My Reflection''.
==Background and composition==
Aguilera achieved her early success following the release of the two first studio albums, ''Christina Aguilera'' in 1999 and ''Mi Reflejo'' in mid-2000, both of which were certified multi-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).〔 ''My Kind of Christmas'' was recorded from late-1999 to mid-2000, when Aguilera was touring to support her two debut recordings. Originally, Aguilera's idol Etta James was planned to be included as a featured performer on the track "Merry Christmas, Baby". However the idea was later canceled, and Dr. John was chosen as her replacement afterwards.〔 It is a Christmas and dance-pop album, which contains mainly cover versions of Christmas standards and several new tracks, including "Christmas Time", "This Year" and "Xtina's Xmas".〔 "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "Merry Christmas, Baby" are the two "soulful" ballads from the album, backed by a 70-piece orchestra. "Christmas Time" and the "Diane Warren-written" track "These Are the Special Times", meanwhile, are the two "painful" tracks. "Christmas Time" and "This Year" are the two "hip hop influenced" pop tracks. "The Christmas Song (Holiday Remix)" was remade as a dance-styled number, which is set to "a kicking dance beat".〔 "The Christmas Song (Chestnut Roasting on an Open Fire)" released as a single in late-1999 was included in the album.〔
