I would for sure, and even though it would only be played 1 month of the year, my copy still wouldn't be gathering as much dust as TLFR.
Abso-freakin-lutely!!!!!I would love to add them to my Christmas collection. That's the only thing missing.

I wouldn't want a FULL Christmas album, but I wouldn't mind an EP of the stuff they've already released.

How about "Lost X-Mas" with a Wham-Cover of "Last Christmas" ?
Would sure sound better than anything on LH minus AAD.

To me christmas albums smack of desperation and seem like a cheap grab for money. I think contributing the odd track to compilations is a better idea.

That said, I'd still buy it.

Maybe they could follow this example...
Twisted Sister - Twisted Christmas - Amazon.com... Twisted Sister - Twisted Christmas - Amazon.com...

I agree.

And Twisted Christmas is pretty great. It's the only Christmas album I've ever bought.

Just the same way like albums with country influenced music in it after one country-song from the previous album was a hit

Even not everyone in the band is Christian. And for me, releasing a Christmas album is just money making and nothing else. So, no I wouldn't want it.

Born-to-run, sorry to disappoint you but releasing a country influenced album is a big risk. Outside the USA no one cares for country and the band couldn't expect that to be a success. Absolutely not. BJ are a band that wants to sell worldwide, not only in the USA. I absolutely don't think that they thought the album would be a success outside the USA.

And you can see this with the singles. They don't get played on the radio or on MTV worldwide and the singles don't sell well.

So if just moneymaking was the intention for this album and singles, the band failed at least worldwide.
