If you could have only one Christmas album/CD, which one?


Me, the Nat King Cole Christmas one with the Mel Torme classic, "The Christmas Song" , there are several others that are my families tradition to listen to, but the one I mention I would not to be without.

I have to cast a vote for what is,  IMHO,  one of the best holiday tunes to come out in recent years - Paul Simon's "Waiting For Christmas Day".  It's the failure of what's remaining of current FM radio that this hasn't become a modern "standard."  When I first heard it a couple of years ago (I think) my mind raced back to "Cecilia".  For those of you who have not heard it,  give it a listen.  No mawkish sentimentality,  no hitting you over the head with yuletide sappiness,  a really sweet song with a KILLER ending lyric...
