agree! i pointed out to my mom at target on saturday that it appeared to be the most expensive christmas movie- showing that it has stood up to the test of time.

im a fan of all the originals (or near original version) brenda lee rocking around the christmas tree, nat king cole the christmas song, and johnny mathis marshmallow world is a must have.

If you're looking for modern, less known songs, I like:

Faith Hill's "A Baby Changes Everything" and Point of Grace's "The Giver and the Gift".

Just in Time for Christmas--Nancy Lamott

I make a CD every year, and a friend recommended this a few years back. It's now one of my faves--with many already mentioned on this thread. You can hear her sing it on youtube, but the recording is better:
