Your Favorite Holiday Album

Love Guaraldi and the Spector LPs too! Another couple that always work there way into my playlists are Sarah McLaughlan's Wintersong and the Beach Boys Christmas album. 
If all this leaves you feeling like a perky consumer automaton, offset with some Zappa and a local craft beer. Cheers,

Fourplay "Snowbound"  

Ok, so don’t shoot me, but I grew up in a household with lots of Muzak-y stuff, and a Christmas perennial was “Christmas with the Three Suns” ... several different RCA pressings over the years (all mono), and I have multiple copies. The bells and chimes shimmer if your cartridge can track it, and that accordion... oh boy!

OK, here's something a little different from the previous posters:  On Yoolis Night by the Anonymous 4.  For those of you who don't know the Anonymous 4, they are a four-woman acapella group focusing on medieval music.  This is an excellent recording by Harmonia Mundi.  The harmonies seem to float in the air, perfectly depicting for me the spirit of the season.

Still The Nutcracker.
