Holiday music

[Ⓐaron]

Dear /tls/, what is your favourite holiday album and why is it A Charlie Brown Christmas?

Spoiler

George Winston's December is also an acceptable answer, but I'd probably be perfectly happy if I never heard another holiday album apart from those two ever again.

Is this a trick question? ^__^'

I don't have a holiday album favorite but I'm particularly fond of the "Santa Baby" song I've heard in the last few years. Finally a sexy Christmas song!

John Zorn's A Dreamers Christmas, perhaps. I think Kate Bush' 50 Words For Snow has the sense of a holidays album too. Haven't heard the Jethro Tull One.

Best Christmas single ofcourse is King Diamond's No Presents For Christmas.

Finally? That song was made 60 years ago.

You're talking about this one (or more likely a new cover of the song), right?:

I have to agree with the 50 words for snow. That's such a wonderful album, even though it's more wintery than Christmasy.

Also I really like the old Christmas songs sung by Bing Crosby and so on.

I like this thread, because Christmas.

There's a few decent Xmas songs, mostly commercial shite or X Factor offerings though.

Oh, I should clarify that I know the song is old (didn't know how old though) but that they haven't been playing it on the radio stations I've had. Or I haven't heard it anyways.

I also love Greensleaves. It's so beautiful and also historic (I'm a huge history buff)!

I don't really like any Christmas/holiday music, but I could probably bring myself to listen to this:

 

[AvecAloes]

It's A Charlie Brown Christmas because Vince Guaraldi is love. Mmhmm.

 

[Interslicery]

One of the few christmas songs I dont get sick of.

 

[Kermitu Kleric Katie]

I like Mr. Hanky's Christmas Classics. It's hilarious.

Why do we have to spend 1/4 of our lives listening to these songs?
