Great Christmas albums

Recommended Posts

I was just looking through my collection the other day.

Some of my favorites are:

Making Spirits Bright (Dean Martin)

You Sleigh Me (because everyone, and I mean everyone, must have a version of "Merry Christmas from the Family" in their collection; this one has Jill Sobule's cover of it).

Ultra Lounge Christmas Cocktails (I have parts 1 & 2 and I just noticed there's a third one out that I must acquire).

A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra

I bought Sarah Maclachlan's "Wintersong" for my wife and have to admit that I think it is pretty good.

Just to mix it up from the Burl Ives/Frank Sinatra stuff, I like A Very Special Christmas, vol. I (I think it's # 1??).

It has Bruce Springstein's Santa Claus is Comin' To Town,ect. - it's a fun way to break up the traditional stuff. My favorite song on there is Whitney Houston's Do You Hear What I Hear. Her voice is so beautiful and powerful on that...just amazing, it gives me goosebumps.

This recording is one of my all time favorite Christmas songs. You have good taste.

And Jerry, I also have the Charlie Brown Christmas CD. I can even do the dances that go along with that music.B|

Well, thanks!

She just has the greatest voice...I'm hoping she really can get it all together again this year.

I'm sure your Snoopy dance would make Michael Flatley, Lord of The Dance, green with envy:D

Don't have a favourite album but as far as my favourite Christmas song goes, it's definitely Little Drummer Boy by David Bowie and Bing Crosby.

LOVE their version of it.

I remember seeing the video they made for that song. It's been a favorite song of mine since I was a kid, although I didn't know the words.

I think Perry Como has done a nice job singing it too.

Now, I can't fucking stand "Jingle Bells". It drives me nuts... :S :D

Well, apparently you're a LITTLE younger than I am if you only saw the video. I saw it on TV. :P

It is amazing seeing them performing it!
