I like to put on Frank Sinatra at Christmas. Do you have an artist that you like to play at Christmas??

Christmas Time with The Judds is a favorite. Recorded surprisingly well and great sounding voices and harmonies.

Got to blow out the cob webs first with a few spins of RUN-DMC's Christmas in Hollis....

I highly recommend this... Great sonics, too! Vince Guaraldi Trio from California...

Actually, they're the only seasonal records I listen to.

The Carpenters. Karen's vocal is just amazing on my Omegas.

James Brown's "Funky Christmas" and "A John Waters Christmas" are always in heavy rotation this time of year at our house.

My mom and dad played this album every year when I was a kid.
I still play it every Christmas Eve:

Had this CD since my kids were babies, they are in their late 20's now, and is always played at Christmas time

Marcel Marceau

"waiting for ze sleigh" ... man, that rock-a-d.

Anyway, if the toss up is between Perry Cuomo's and Bob Dylan's Xmas record, I'll choose Bob's. I've said it before, his "I'll be home for Christmas" is not to be missed and is more like a threat than anything else, like he just got out of the joint and he has some unfinished business to take care of.

A couple very nice ones not usually mentioned are Bruce Cockburn's holiday album called, wait for it, Christmas....and the Roches (harmonizing sisters) We Three Kings album.

15 years and counting. This is the album we play every Christmas morning as the children open their presents

I really hate the overproduced strings and the fa-la-la-la crap....so it's great to see some good suggestions here.
