	:It would be interesting to see this research, because the most popular Christmas album of all time was not released until 1994, "{{w\|Merry Christmas (Mariah Carey album)\|Merry Christmas}}" by {{w\|Mariah Carey}}. This album featured what is considered to be the most ubiquitous song around this time of the year which is "All I Want For Christmas Is You" which is also featured prominently in the very popular (and frequently replayed) movie {{w\|Love Actually}} from 2003. The song is the only holiday song and ringtone to reach multi-platinum status in the U.S. So, usually the information that Randall presents to us doesn't immediately present itself as egregiously incorrect, but this one just seems to not factor in the popular success of a mid-90s release.		:It would be interesting to see this research, because the most popular Christmas album of all time was not released until 1994, "{{w\|Merry Christmas (Mariah Carey album)\|Merry Christmas}}" by {{w\|Mariah Carey}}.

		+	:"Pun"? Not sure I'd use that word, like that. Possibly the borrowed term "visual pun", insofar as it (maybe) references the traditional christmas colour combination of green and red for holly and berries, the robes of the Three Wise Men, a tree with wrapped gifts beneath, The Grinch in a Santa costume, whatever your own cultural reference is... And perhaps meant to look like stacked festive boxes.
