If you could have only one Christmas album/CD, which one?

I have to cast a vote for what is,  IMHO,  one of the best holiday tunes to come out in recent years - Paul Simon's "Waiting For Christmas Day".  It's the failure of what's remaining of current FM radio that this hasn't become a modern "standard."  When I first heard it a couple of years ago (I think) my mind raced back to "Cecilia".  For those of you who have not heard it,  give it a listen.  No mawkish sentimentality,  no hitting you over the head with yuletide sappiness,  a really sweet song with a KILLER ending lyric...

"...if I could tell my mom and dad that the things we never had didn't matter we were always okay..."

Easy, Mel Torme Christmas Songs on Telarc, jazzy , classy and varied , a true treasure by perhaps the most underated singer ever.!

See who Kurt Eliing went to school on .

One Christmas CD?  Its gotta be "Christmas with Dino"  by Dean Martin. Just the kind of music to have a martini.

Another vote for Vince Guaraldi Trio " A Charlie Brown Christmas"

Try  "Christmas Island" by Leon Redbone for fun.

***All Christmas music is awful***- infection

Explains the moniker.
