If you could have only one Christmas album/CD, which one?

Me, the Nat King Cole Christmas one with the Mel Torme classic, "The Christmas Song" , there are several others that are my families tradition to listen to, but the one I mention I would not to be without.

Yes, I like the "no vibrato" movement! On LP I have Klemperer and Richter, which I haven't listened to in years. Herbert von Karajan's version has it's admirers.

Soxx & The Blue Jeans) doing classic Christmas songs plus a newly written (by the legendary team Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry) one, "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)", sung magnificently by Darlene.
