Christmas Music and Audiophiles?

I personally really enjoy listening to Christmas music. I find that when it's done well it can be better than just about any other types of music. I even listen to it from time to time throughout the year.

Are there any audiophile Christmas Albums that are worthly of your dedicated stereo listening systems or do you only play Christmas music on your whole house systems as background music?

What are you favorites?

One of my personal current favorites is the Canadian Tenors Christmas album. I have five more Christmas CDs on the way to enhance this upcoming season.

Tpreaves - I can't argue with "Bah Humbug" as I get really tired of all the useless stuff that has been confused with the holidays. I would prefer it to be simple. Why does everyone insist on making 4x the amount of food any normal person should be disgusted by?

I recommend the Christmas Can Can by Straight No Chaser to you. You'll enjoy it, try You Tube.

Picked up Yo-Yo Ma - Songs of Joy and Peace based on the recommendation but have not had a chance to listen to it yet. That recommendation also led me to get Yo-Yo Ma's new Goat Rodeo album. I put it on in the car and can't wait to hear it on my system.

I'll admit to liking the Christmas shoe song. We also have a local Christmas song called Christmas in the Northwest that's pretty decent.

Today another three new Christmas CDs arrived: Il Divo, Faith Hill, and Celtic Woman. So far Il Divo is a great CD, but I prefer the sound/style of the Canadian Tenors. Faith Hill sounds great other than the first song sounded a bit hollow. Celtic Woman is starting...now...I expect it to be another classic Christmas CD, but I really enjoy their voices.
