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.

My two favorites of the last few years are Diana Krall's and Jethro Tull's Christmas albums. Both very good and very listenable.

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.

Two compilation albums:" Blue Yule" by some of the masters of the blues and "Jingle Bell Jazz" .. as the name implies

Also enjoy the yearly spinning of the complete "Nutcracker" ballet and of course "Charlie Brown Christmas" LP

I like Dr John, He is one of my favorites from Nawlins. Check out his 'Dis, Dat or da udder.' I just never developed a taste for pop/rock Christmas Music. But variety is what makes it all so wondeful.
