  • A This track originated on the 1974 album Christmas Present. The back cover and label of the original vinyl release of that album list the title of this track as "Christmas Bells", and the label gives songwriting credit to Harry Filler and Leonard Schroeder, who did write a different song called "Christmas Bells" that was recorded by Patti Page for her 1951 album Christmas with Patti Page.
