I need about 3-4 hours worth of music for a Holiday event. I just realized that I do not own any Christmas music!! Can anyone recommend must-have holiday albums?


"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Brian D'Arcy James- From Christmas Eve to Christmas Morn
Linda Eder- Christmas Stays the Same

I also love all of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra CD's, but I know they're not for everyone.

Also, I don't know what demographic you are playing to but for some of us this synonymous with Christmas. Especially O Little Town of Bethlehem.

These two have a good variety and a lot of the songs I grew up with.

I love the movie soundtrack to Elf. It is very calm and relaxing.

I lived in Georgia my whole life, and last December I moved to Maine. As much as I love my family and friends, I'm only ever homesick for the food. Waffle House conjures up many happy memories. Sorry for the unintentionally nostalgic threadjack...

I second the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Their Christmas Trilogy is the only holiday album (are the only holiday albums?) I allow in my house for the fantastic combination of traditional, rock, and NO CRAPPY POP. o/

I am afraid Amy Grant's Christmas album wouldnake me break down this year. It's my first Christmas away from Tennessee.


Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

My personal favorite Christmas song of all time is Kay Starr singing Everybody's Waiting For The Man With The Bag.

I second uncageg on Nat King Cole. As far as I'm concerned, it is THE Christmas album.
