Home for Christmas is the 13th album by Christian music and pop music singer Amy Grant, released in 1992. It is Grant's second holiday album, the first being 1983's A Christmas Album.

Commercial success

Coming off the heels of Grant's massively successful 1991 album Heart in Motion, Home for Christmas performed even better than Heart in Motion on the Billboard charts, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the Christian album chart. It was later reissued in 2003 as 20th Century Masters - The Christmas Collection: The Best of Amy Grant.

On November 17, 1997, Home for Christmas was certified Triple Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipment of three million copies in the United States.^[2]

As of November 2014, Home for Christmas is the eighteenth best-selling Christmas/holiday album in the U.S. during the Nielsen SoundScan era of music sales tracking (March 1991 – present), having sold 2,540,000 copies according to SoundScan.^[3]
