Non-Standard Christmas/Holiday Music I like, ..and yours?

Yes, there is no denying Nat Cole, Bing Crosby and many other well know and well loved Christmas/Holiday songs/albums.  And with that said, are there any Christmas/Holiday albums/CD/SACD/etc.  that you feel are part of the season for you and yours?

Mine would be from Tuck Andress, Anne Murray (yes..Anne Murray), Nancy Wilson,  Jo Stafford, Johnny Mercer, Margaret Whiting, Les Paul, Vince Guarldi and several more.

Nancy Wilson's "What are You Doing for New Year's"...yes a "holiday" song can sound sensual, The Canadian Brass, The Four Seasons,   and for something further out...Gloria Estefan doing "Christmas Through Your Eyes".....which is all about what the holiday is all about, Children. 

Please share yours.

Thanks, exactly what I wanted, suggestions on music/artists I am not familiar with. It would seem suggestions from fellow audio-piles is a better source than my in-laws.

For the "Holiday Spirit" I cannot make a better suggestion than watching the B&W Holiday Inn with Astaire and Crosby.
