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.

'Dr. John singing "Silent Night" on the Dr. John plays Mac Rebennac CD. Incredible music and sound.'

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.

You want good Christmas songs by Pop / Jazz artists? Try Nat King Cole and Johnny Mathis.

Some Christmas music celebrates the birth of Christ. Some Christmas songs are about Santa, snowmen, sleigh rides, chestnuts, mistletoe, mutant reindeer, elves, bells...

Blkadr has it right with respect to contemporary Christmas music though lately it seems like Christmas muzak offerings are heavily weighted towards Santa Fraud and his ilk. My personal Christmas music preference is certainly for that celebrating the birth of the Christ.
