| What will you be definitely listening to this Christmas ? What's your fav Christmas album ? What's your oldest Christmas album that you still play every year ?
My new fav is the Happy Christmas compilation vol 5 from 2010.
Finally something clever - The heat miser and cold miser songs from that Santa cartoon (love this one):

| I'm not a big fan of Christmas music, but wife plays our local Christian radio station (which starts playing Christmas music on Thanksgiving day).
She also listens to a Faith Hill and Nat King Cole Christmas album. She used to have a Kenny G Christmas album but that one got accidentally broken on purpose maliciously.

| I'm no Christmas music fan. However, our music class is doing a concert for Christmas.
The TFK song you posted is pretty darn cool. It sounds more like the industrial/grunge era of Skillet. |

| His Merry Christmas album was the main one I heard growing up. Timeless material there. I could (and sometimes do) listen to it over and over.

| I am unashamedly a big fan of GOOD Christmas music. I have been waiting until Thanksgiving to break it out, but I don't think it will work.
Some of my favorites (right now) are:
Halford Winter Songs
Twister Sister Christmas
Russ Taff Christmas
The Excelsis series (gothic)
Ted Kirkpatrick Ancient Christmas
Amy Grant's Christmas albums
and I like Kenny G's original Christmas album
I got a bunch of TSO stuff at the end of the Christmas season last year that I didn't get a chance to listen to, so I'm looking forward to it this year.
Christmas music I can't stand:
Wham--Last Christmas
That depressing John Lennon/Yoko Ono song
All the "starving children" songs from the 80s
Anything involving dead parents (Christmas Shoes is the one that comes to mind, but I know there are others) |

| Silly idea… Stryper should make a Christmas album with Reason For The Season and others… and release it as "To The North Pole With Santa"… and make their logo white and pink…  |

I tried listening to a couple of tracks and nothing really grabbed me.

| Yep, Ted's album didn't do anything for me either. Nothing wrong with it, just not my thing.
