What are your Christmas music must-haves?

I am sad that you did not include any Elvis Presley or Bing Crosby!
Bing Crosby IS Christmas. Well, him and Jesus.
If I had a copy of "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby, I would have put him on my list.
Next list: best Christmas movies of all time. Rest assured, that one is on there. =)
WOOT on the O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. I keep telling myself I'm going to write an a capella arrangement of that for choir one of these days. =D
But I gotta have me some Carol of the Bells. And other older madrigalesque stuff.
O Come, O Come Emmanuel is def hawt. :D Also, O Holy Night by Martina McBride is fantastic. And Celine Dion's Christmas stuff is good. Sarah McLachlan's Christmas stuff is odd.
WV: enimmene: what we get when the M&M factory is taken over by those with dyslexia.
I completely forgot about this song until hearing it on the radio the other day, but I absolutely love 98 degrees "This Gift." Maybe because it makes me feel like I'm 15 again, but it's also a pretty good song. :)

My mom has a lot of Christmas music on vinyl and one of my favorites is Bing Crosby doing Adeste Fideles (O Come All Ye Faithful). Something about the scratchy vinyl just makes it so much better! I also can't go without A Prairie Home Companion Christmas CD. No one else knows what that means but it totally makes my Christmas!
