Atlanta Cracker Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 We usually break out the Christmas tunes sometime during the weekend after Thanksgiving so I thought I would get some suggestions of other albums to consider adding to the collection. A couple of my new favorites added last year: Christmas Songs for Jazz Lovers Diana Krall - Christmas Songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 top of my head... vince guaraldi's "a charlie brown christmas" Love the Charlie Brown Christmas CD nat king cole and friends My all-time favorite Christmas song is "A Christmas Song" aka "Chestnuts roasting by an open fire...." I've got a really good BB King Christmas CD as well as a Gershwin one. I also go for anything Bing Crosby, especially White Christmas. I may think of some more later...

Deacon Bill Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I've always enjoyed (since I was a kid) Herb Alpert's Christmas. Recently I've begun enjoying Trans Siberian Orchestra , and their rock versions of Christmas tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicCEO Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 (edited) I grew up on two Christmas albums that I always listen to at the holidays (on vinyl). John Denver Christmas with the Muppets and A Sesame Street Christmas. I don't think I'd recommend them to any adult, but they are very nostalgic for me.

Chargerz Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 The Carpenter's "Christmas Portrait" album that came out in 1978 is a classic and should be in every Christmas music collection. Karen Carpenter's voice on "The Christmas Song", "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas", "I'll Be Home For Christmas", "Merry Christmas, Darling", "Silent Night", and "White Christmas" is incredible. I listen to that album every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Walter Brennen - T'was the night before Christmas...Back Home Elvis's Christmas Album Leon Redbone - Christmas Island Merry Christmas - Johnny Mathis Harry Simone Choral - Drummer Boy Dr. Demento presents - The Greatest Christmas Novelty CD of All Time Are some of my favorites. Mostly I take all the albums, tapes, and cd's, I have and make compilation cd's. I might also suggest The Four Seasons Christmas Album.
