Season's Greetings is the cover album by Tatsurō Yamashita, released in November 1993. It is a sort of the holiday album, though some of the songs have nothing to do with christmas or winter season.
Season's Greetings features an English version of his signature song "Christmas Eve". The remake version that lyrics was written by Alan O'Day was included on several reissues on CD single of a song in later years.[1]
