The Secret of Giving: A Christmas Collection is Reba McEntire's second Christmas album. It is the follow up to her 1987 release, Merry Christmas to You. The album features mostly new, original holiday tunes with only a couple of traditional favorites. The children featured on "The Angels Sang" are actually the class of her son Shelby who was in the third grade at the time. The album peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard country chart and is currently certified Gold by the RIAA.

The album was followed by a CBS made-for-television movie also called The Secret of Giving. The film starred McEntire and aired on Thanksgiving night in 1999. It featured songs from the album as its soundtrack.
