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

My thanks to you both for that excellent and useful info--will check out these recordings.

Except the Bach passions are for Easter not Christmas .

Two sides of the same coin, Schubert ;-)!

For Pop, it's "A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector", an album of Spector's Phillies Records singers (Darlene Love, The Ronettes, The Crystals, Bob B. Soxx & The Blue Jeans) doing classic Christmas songs plus a newly written (by the legendary team Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry) one, "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)", sung magnificently by Darlene. 

bdp24, nails it. Perfect holiday party music to get everyone smiling.
As a followup, watch Darlene Love sing this:
