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.

pop songs in which the word 'Christmas" is uttered a few times, is not Christmas music. Christmas music celebrates the birth of Christ.

Dr. John singing "Silent Night" on the Dr. John plays Mac Rebennac CD. Incredible music and sound. I was able to find two sealed copies on vinyl, but Silent Night is only on the CD. Christmas or no, pick up this CD.

Listened to a clip on amazon. Guess I just don't get this one. He said the words to Silent Night, but other than that, it has nothing in common with the song. He could have been singing about his woman leaving him, and it would have sounded similar. Wasn't very good Dr John either.
