Default favorite xmas album?
I love good Christmas music... not necessarily 90% of the crap they play on the radio though.

One of my current favorites is The Three Tenors Christmas

Other pretty good ones:
A Real Irish Christmas
Canadian Brass: Noel
BB King: A Christmas Celebration of Hope
Westminster Cathedral Christmas
Nat King Cole: Christmas Favorites
etc etc

Also neat is this collection of recordings from Wax Cylinders. Amazingly different despite only being 80-90 years old. Also free mp3s since they are so old:

anyone else have any favorites?

The new ATHF- Have Yourself A Meaty Little Christmas

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XqO2...8F07D9&index=4

Maybe NSFW!

This one is safe:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGvEF...8F07D9&index=6

Frankly, I can't stand Christmas music anymore. Working in radio and hearing it 9-10 hours a day everyday for a month and a half, for over a dozen years, really turned me off to it

Love listening to Burl Ives at Christmastime.

Also the two Fab Four (Beatles tribute band) Christmas albums are exceptional, if you can find them.

A Fab Four Christmas: The Ultimate Beatles Tribute, Vol. 1

and

Have Yourself a FAB-ulous Little Christmas.

I'm a fan of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra myself. For more traditional, it's hard to go wrong with Johnny Mathis's Christmas.
