Favorite Christmas music CD?

[mrsklamc]

This weekend I am taking my mom to see The Manheim Steamrollers! I am very excited!!

You will LOVE the show and I am so glad you are excited, but just FYI- it's just "Manheim Steamroller"

ETA not Christmas music but DH wants to make sure everyone knows about their 'Manheim meets the Mouse" CD

Charlie Brown Christmas is quintessential. Nothing better for listening while driving around with a Satrbuck's White Mocha looking at Christmas lights.

MercyMe's "The Christmas Sessions" is amazing - familiar songs but done in new styles, including the most kick butt version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen you will ever hear - intense, rocking, powerful, Carol of the Bells mixed in, boy choir backup... just awesome.

Brian Setzer Orchestra has some fun Christmas tunes in that swing style.

A Charlie Brown Christmas - Vince Guaraldi Trio

Ditto!

However, if you want variety (both "old" and "new"), give the "Now That's What I Call Christmas" CDs a listen -- currently, there are 3 volumes available.

Time Life has a collection of the classics in a 3 CD set- you just cant beat it if you like the classics. I havent bought a christmas cd since i bought this set. Its perfect!

My absolute favorite is Perry Como Sings Merry Christmas Music. Also like Bing, have several of his CD's. And of course John Denver & the Muppets. Josh Groban Noel is great.

Just a reminder to everyone to check out their local libraries! While reading this thread I was able to jump onto the library website and place a request for several of the CDs mentioned.
