Thirty-seven years and almost as many albums into his career, Bob Dylan is recording his first-ever Christmas album, reports The Bully! Pulpit News

The legendary singer/songwriter has apparently already recorded “Must Be Santa,” “Here Comes Santa Claus,” “I’ll Be Home For Christmas," and “O Little Town of Bethlehem.”

The story reports that the inclusion of "O Little Town" may "fuel speculation about Dylan's religious beliefs that have swirled ever since he publicly converted to Christianity in 1979, recorded explicitly religious material on three subsequent albums and for a time refused to play his old songs. Religious references on subsequent recordings became less overt after 1981's Shot of Love."

Bob Dylan still perfprms many of the songs from his three overtly Christian albums in concert. In 1986 he often played the dong from SAVED called "In the Garden" and introduced it by calling Jesus his "hero."
