Christmas Means Love is a 2005 Christmas album by American singer-songwriter Joan Osborne.

Reception

The editorial staff of AllMusic Guide scored this album three out of five stars, with reviewer Thom Jurek noting that the release is not essential, but Christmas albums largely are not and "Osborne's voice being what it is, she could sing the back of a cereal box and make it interesting".
