CHRISTMAS PEOPLE! CHRISTMAS! Geez...dirty minds!!

What are your favorite Christmas albums of all time? Contemporary or classic, it doesn't matter to me, just make it good!!! I only have the soundtrack to The Polar Express..
 
Straight No Chaser!!!! They've got 2 Christmas albums out now -- LOVE them. Go buy it. Right now. Do it.

And you can't go wrong with Harry Connick, Jr.

I could go on and on. I literally have HUNDREDS of Christmas songs on itunes.
 
Ok, I know this makes me an uber dork but I can't help it. I really love Jessica simpson's Christmas album! The music is so bubbly and cheerful and...well Christmas-y LOL! It's my guilty pleasure of the season :D! I also love all the more traditional stuff! I love Bing Crosby's Silver Bells, Judy Garland's Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Jimmy Durante's Frosty The Snow Man, Eartha Kitt's Santa Baby. I've got a mix of everything on my christmas playlist and everyone loves it! I heart Christmas music!!
 
james taylor had an AWESOME christmas album out a few years ago. i think it was a hallmark cd. i have it on my computer, though. if you want me to zip the mp3 files for you and upload them somewhere, i can.
and i agree with the point of grace suggestion. dad has their christmas album from a few years back. amazing.
 
ummm... ALL of it and really I love every genre of it too. I end up turning on my local college radio station starting the day after Thanksgiving because they play only Christmas music thru the end of December and they play it all.... love love love it!
 
I agree about Martina McBride's Christmas Album...SA-WEET!
Bing Crosby: White Christmas
Andy Williams: The Andy Williams Christmas Album (it's Red)
The Brian Setzer Orchestra: Boogie Woogie Christmas (totally fun swing/big band sound)
Carpenters: Christmas Collection
Faith Hill: Joy to the World
Toby Keith: A Classic Christmas
Harry Connick, Jr: Any of his, but probably Harry for the Holidays is my fav!

I also have various song pick-ups by Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Mannheim Steamroller

And...some of my favorite one-off songs:
Whitney Houston: Do You Hear What I Hear
Linus & Lucy (the Charlie Brown Theme Song)
Pretenders: Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Mariah Carey: All I want for Christmas is You
Frank Sinatra: Mistletoe and Holly
Eurythmics: Winter Wonderland
Bruce Springsteen: Santa Claus is Coming to Town
 
My dad has 2 Elvis Christmas cds which he loves to play over and over. I hated it as a kid, but now it makes me happy, reminds me of my childhood :) lol.
 
I have a few Christmas CDs, mostly kids ones, and I wub them. The Muppets Red and Green, A Disney Channel Christmas (think Miley and Jonas Brothers LOL), Alvin and the Chipmunks, and Now That's What I Call Christmas Vol 3 (which is a great mix of traditional and pop).
 
I just saw that Target has a Taylor Swift Christmas CD on sale for $6.99...I'm not afraid to admit it - i wuv her! I'm heading out to get it this week!

I've never heard of them, but I have spent the past 30 minutes watching videos. They are awesome!!
 
TOTALLY agree with the others who said Martina McBride, James Taylor, and Harry Connick, Jr.

I also love:
He Is Christmas by Take 6
Star Bright by Vanessa Williams
The Christmas Album by The Manhattan Transfer

And, if you have a really good ear, you can hear little ol' me singing on A Mormon Tabernacle Christmas by The Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
 
I've got the 2disc set from Time Life, such a great collab of chsristmas songs! We have a few other, but that's my fav!
 
I was putting together my christmas playlist at spotify yesterday, I'll need to look when I get home to see what I put on it. It's all single songs though, no albums.
 
Country Chrismtas Music is usually what I listen too.

I love Brad Paisley's Christmas CD. Its great. I just downloaded a few songs from Sister Hazel (not country). They're really great. I have a non country Christmas playlist, but I don't listen to it nearly as much as the Country Christmas one.

Here's the full playlist. And yes, if you see N'Sync on there its because I love that Christmas CD.

I love anything by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, but my favorite XMas album of all time is The Gift by Kenny Rogers...LOVE it.
 
hehehe glad you guys like them! They had a really popular youtube video that made the rounds a couple of years ago, so when I found their album last year, I was completely psyched!
 
I grew up on Andy Williams Christmas album....I still listen to it as it brings fond memories...

...but I like Barbra Streisand ... but the family favorite is "Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer"... ahhhh the life of boys...
 
Love Straight with No Chaser. I downloaded two of their songs with a fre Amazon code today. (Check out Amazon for $3 credit for MP3!) They are fabulous, I am recommending them to my mom she will love them!
 
I agree with Melissa! I love the Carpenters Christmas CD! My mom used to play it all the time when I was a little girl and when I grew up and moved out I bought my own copy! I love to play it while we decorate the christmas tree!
 
My kids and I love Harry Connick, Jr. When My Heart Finds Christmas and I also love Avalon Joy. It is really upbeat and fun. I also like to listen to Johnny Mathis Christmas, but that is a nostalgia thing because that is what my parents played when I was young =) Good luck!
