Just bought the Michael Buble Christmas CD and I LOVE it!

Any other suggestions for Christmas music??


Thanks!

Two great jazz Christmas albums:

Dave Brubeck's Christmas album
Duke Ellington's Nutcracker Suite

[larig]

here are a few I like.
I like a Christmas gift to you from Phil Spector (http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Gift-You-Phil-Spector/dp/B000003BD7)(if you can get over the phil spector part.)

Duke Ellington's nutcracker suite. (http://www.amazon.com/The-Nutcracker-Suite/dp/B004GY5E0W/ref=sr_1_4?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1355012220&sr=1-4&keywords=nutcracker+suite+jazz) (oops, just saw PP posted this too--it's really great + I'd second her Brubeck too).

Some songs from Now that's what I call Christmas! (http://www.amazon.com/Now-Thats-What-Call-Christmas/dp/B00005OLYC/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1355012285&sr=1-1&keywords=now+that%27s+what+I+call+christmas+lennon )

Ah you beat me to it....I was going to suggest the Buble album. I bought it on a whim last year and it is still my very favorite to date...I think it is almost impossible to be in a bad mood while listening to it!

Also love the Michael Buble album.

My all time favorite is John Denver and the Muppets.
:yeahthat:

[SnuggleBuggles]

Charlie Brown Christmas
Harry Connick Jr, Harry for the Holidays
The Perfect Christmas (a compilation)

I prefer a mix so I just create playlists and keep searching out new songs on iTunes.

i really like the pink martini christmas CD-- in fact, it was the thing i was looking forward to most post thanksgiving and then i spent two days looking for the CD. it was making me crazy! it's very ecletic and has the absolute BEST version of "do you hear what i hear" and "auld lange syne"

i'm a big fan on bing crosby-- he sounds like my grandpa -- so i have a good cd of his christmas songs.

i'm also a sucker for starbucks holiday....that's how i discovered my pink martini love :) (they have the buble cd featured right now, so i'm surprised i don't have that ;))

My all time favorite is John Denver and the Muppets.

Were we separated at birth? This is the most wonderful Christmas album ever made. Some songs are funny and some are so beautiful they make me cry.

[Neatfreak]

The two holiday albums by Straight No Chaser!

Punk Rock Christmas.

My husband worked retail for 6 years and 6+ years later still suffers from a hatred of holiday music. We don't listen to much holiday music with vocals. If it sounds like it would be played in a Macy's store it is off limits.

My all time favorite is John Denver and the Muppets.

With Charlie Brown Christmas a close second...

[mom2beofboy/girltwins]

I second the Harry Conick Jr cd. I also really like the SheDaisy Christmas album. It has some really nice arrangements of traditional Christmas songs and some originals that I like a lot too.

The original A Very Special Christmas (http://www.amazon.com/Very-Special-Christmas-Pretenders/dp/B000002GFJ/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1355036913&sr=1-1&keywords=very+special+christmas), although when I was a kid it had a less lame Bon Jovi song.

We've been listening to Mannheim Steamroller. Oh and sometimes you might catch us listening to El Vez, the Mexican Elvis.

Danny Wright Just Wright for Christmas and Jeanne Cotter Many Snows--both lovely lovely Piano arrangements.

Nick at Nite Classic Cartoon Christmas (all the oldies and goodies)
Steve Tyrell This time of the Year
NAt King Cole A Christmas Song--a classic!

They're probably NYC-area specific, and kind of dated, but I'm partial to the WCBS-FM 101.1 "Ultimate Christmas Album" CDs. They have 25 "hits" for the 25th of December - recordings range from the Temptations' rendition of 'Silent Night' to 'Silver Bells' as sung by Diana Ross, and a lot of "oldies" artists, including the Jackson 5.

OK, so a few songs are turkeys ('Dominic the Donkey' recorded by Lou Monte, for example) but the rest of them are pretty neat. The 2nd album also includes the spoken-word 'May You Always' by the "Morning Mayor," Harry Harrison:

We're also partial to the Vince Guraldi Trio music for the Charlie Brown Christmas TV special.

And, of course ... DH has some Christmas mega-mixes too and we love to play those in our house.
