Jethro Tull - The Jethro Tull Christmas Album (2003) (Reissue with CD Bonus) (2009) (UK)

The Jethro Tull Christmas Album é o (22.º) vigésimo segundo álbum de estúdio gravado pela banda Jethro Tull. Esse também foi o último trabalho lançado pelo grupo. (Após esse lançamento, o líder da banda Ian Anderson resolveu não mais gravar utilizando o nome Jethro Tull). 

O disco saiu no dia 30 de setembro de 2003 nos Estados Unidos, e no dia 13 de outubro de 2003 no Reino Unido, pelo selo ''Fuel 2000 Records'' (Cat. 302 061 340 2). Saiu também na Alemanha pelos selos ''Randm Records'' ‎e ''Roadrunner Records'' ‎(Cat. RR 8370-2).

O conteúdo desse álbum resume-se na gravação de algumas novas músicas, a regravação de outros temas já presentes na discografia anterior do grupo, além de músicas tradicionais de natal que tiveram as partes instrumentais re-arranjadas por Ian Anderson.

Em 2009 saiu a re-edição do álbum na Europa pelo selo EMI Records (Cat. 50999 6 06102 2 5), com a inclusão de um concerto realizado no natal de 2008 na St. Bride's Church (uma das igrejas mais antigas da cidade de Londres). O CD bonus chama-se ''Christmas at St. Bride's 2008 - Recorded Live at St. Bride's Church''.

As faixas 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14 e 15 são todas regravações de canções lançadas anteriormente. "Bourée", no entanto, teve alterações significativas no arranjo instrumental.
