This Christmas is the 2008 Christmas album by Aretha Franklin. Initially a Borders Bookstore exclusive, it was reissued in 2009 on DMI Records.
It is her first ever Christmas album. Having failed to launch her own Detroit-based label, Aretha's Records, she chose to release this album on DMI Records. The album peaked at #102 on the Billboard album chart. As of January 2013, it has reportedly sold 142,864 copies in the United States (citation needed).
