'Tis the season means "It's the holiday season." (Sorry, as a PC American, I can't say "It's Christmastime!") But we often say things like "'Tis the season for family/friends/warmth/giving/amazing deals." The phrase is something we break out around Thanksgiving and put away on December 28 - it's part of how we celebrate the holidays. For instance, you could be at a bar on a cold, rainy night in early December and ask your friend if he wanted another round. He could then reply "Well, 'tis the season!" "Merry Christmas!" says one. "Happy Holidays!" says another. "'Tis the Season" is proclaimed and posted everywhere this time of year. But what do we really mean when we refer to this "season"? In general, a season can be a particular time of year, such as winter, spring, summer, and fall. It can also refer to a time characterized by a particular circumstance, like in a "season of awakening." Some may use this word to describe a suitable or natural time, like when their "season" comes. Or it could mean an indefinite period of time; for example, a person on assignment for a "season."

'Tis the Season is a 2000 Christmas album by Vince Gill and Olivia Newton-John with the Bradford Singers and the London Symphony Orchestra commissioned by and recorded for Hallmark Entertainment. It is Olivia Newton-John's first Christmas album, and her selections from it were included on the compilation The Christmas Collection. Gill and Newton-John perform new versions of traditional Christmas carols including two duets. Because the album was released through Hallmark Cards 4,000 franchise stores these sales were not counted according to Billboard 200 rules at time, and the album did not feature on any chart despite high sales. Exact sales for this album were not made available by Hallmark but other albums in the series in the early 2000s typically went platinum.
