The Spirit of Christmas (compilation album)

The Spirit of Christmas is a compilation album which is released every Christmas by The Salvation Army in Australia with all proceeds going to their Red Shield Appeal, which supports at-risk children and youth throughout Australia.

This initiative started when Myer, an Australian department store company wished to continue their philanthropic support in the community, "whilst at the same time providing something special for everyone to enjoy."^[1] Since the first Spirit of Christmas CD in 1993, over $5.5 million have been raised for the Salvation Army.^[1](1996 and 1998 money raised went to the Starlight foundation)

The CDs features Christmas carols from Australian artists and musicians.
