I love Christmas music. I buy a least one new Christmas album a year.

White Christmas by Bing Crosby is my all-time favorite, but really I love most of them.

James Taylor and Bob Dylan's Christmas albums are recent favorites. C-Lo's Christmas album that came out last year is excellent. He's got an amazing voice. Mary K Blige's Christmas album out this year is very good too. Kelly Clarkson's new one is only OK, but it might grow on me.

a at King Cole's version of "The Christmas Song" is so smooth. Jonny Mathis' "Sleighride" is fantastic.

I've come to really appreciate "Mary Did Yo Know"

There is so much joy in Bruce Springsteen's version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."

Bob Segar's version of Little Drummer Boy is so passionate.

All the Burl Ives songs from Rudolph Christmas special just take me back to childhood.

Tony Bennet's Snowfall is an excellent Christmas album as is Aaron Neville's

U2's Baby Please a Come Home is cool.

Love the Eagles version of "please Come Home for Christmas"

Not a big country music fan, but I do enjoy many country artist's versions of Christmas songs.

I know this is silly, but I always remember to include this song during Christmas time. Does anyone remember seeing the holiday special "Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas"?

It is part of my Family's christmas tradition every year a great version of the Gift of the Magi story

I listen to the Chipmunk song every year.

Not the original Alvin show clip but at least it's the original audio and not a cover, dub or remix.
