Christmas Time is another Christmas compilation by Boney M., released 2008, containing most of the songs from their original 1981 Christmas Album plus a selection of songs recorded in 1984 for the album Christmas with Boney M. (1984). For the first time released on CD since the mid-1980s are both the full original 1981 versions of "White Christmas" and "Feliz Navidad". "Jingle Bells" is however presented here in a 30 seconds shorter version and "Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord" is an edited remix dating back to 1992. "Darkness Is Falling", "Oh Christmas Tree (O Tannenbaum)", the instrumental "Winter Fairy-Tale" and the eight-minute "Christmas Medley" are completely omitted on this release.
