Christmas music

I don’t know about the rest of you but I like Christmas music and the time of year in general-though I may be the only one who thinks like that here. I was just curious if any of you have any preferences for Christmas music that you like? I like Jim Brickman’s The Gift but there are some new ones out this year-surprise, surprise-Dave Koz has a new Christmas CD as does Tony Bennett-Charlotte Church-there are two others as well in that CD(whom slip my mind at this time), are either of these any good? I mean nothing is worse then getting a bad Christmas CD!!

For something a little different try the album simply titled Christmas by the band Low.
It features a combination of original Christmas related songs and a few classics (Silent Night,Blue Christmas,Little Drummer Boy etc.).
Low are from Duluth and the music could be described as like a more left-field Cowboy Junkies,it's low-fi but melodic.
Worth a gamble.
It's on Tugboat records.
