“Almost Christmas” is the very first Christmas album from ’80s Metal Queen LEE AARON, only available through her website on physical format.

Lee and her band (Sean Kelly-guitar, Dave Reimer-bass, and John Cody-drums) had tossed around the notion of a Christmas album over the years, but there was always something – tours/recording/life etc. – that kept the project on the back burner.

01. Everything’s Gonna Be Cool This Christmas
02. Baby Please Come Home
03. Run, Run, Rudolph
04. It Doesn’t Often Snow At Christmas
05. Zat You Santa Claus?
06. I Don’t Believe In Christmas
07. Merry Christmas Everybody
08. All I Ever Get For Christmas Is Blue
09. Peace On Earth
10. The Fiddle And The Dru
