[edit] Album information

Chants et contes de Noël includes three songs ("Promenade en traîneau", "Joyeux Noël" and "Glory Alleluia") from Dion's first Christmas release Céline Dion chante Noël (1981). The album was promoted by "Un enfant," originally by Jacques Brel.[1]

Chants et contes de Noël includes also "À quatre pas d'ici" - an adaptation of Bucks Fizz's UK number 1 hit "The Land of Make Believe." Authors of that song wrote for Dion hits like "Think Twice" and "Call the Man" many years later.
