Non-Standard Christmas/Holiday Music I like, ..and yours?

Yes, there is no denying Nat Cole, Bing Crosby and many other well know and well loved Christmas/Holiday songs/albums.  And with that said, are there any Christmas/Holiday albums/CD/SACD/etc.  that you feel are part of the season for you and yours?

Mine would be from Tuck Andress, Anne Murray (yes..Anne Murray), Nancy Wilson,  Jo Stafford, Johnny Mercer, Margaret Whiting, Les Paul, Vince Guarldi and several more.

Nancy Wilson's "What are You Doing for New Year's"...yes a "holiday" song can sound sensual, The Canadian Brass, The Four Seasons,   and for something further out...Gloria Estefan doing "Christmas Through Your Eyes".....which is all about what the holiday is all about, Children. 

Please share yours.

Can’t forget the Pogues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9jbdgZidu8

I think Bangarang by Skillex is the official sound track of way out there Christmas light displays:

Just listen to Holly FM for "traditional" Holiday music you might not be familiar with.
