Drop everything and get Frank's Jolly Christmas.... then you're done!

http://www.amazon.com/Jolly-Christmas-Frank-Sinatra/dp/B000VTS8I6/

If you want to find some of these online to *sample* Seeqpod.com and Playlist.com will have some URLs.

Then you want to get some Bing in the rotation.

"Toby Keith's Classic Christmas" is my all time favorite. It has so many classics and he's got a fantastic voice. I couldn't wait to dig it out this year and start singing along.

Here's Toby performing "Go Tell It on the Mountain" with Jewel.

Sufjan Stevens--Songs for Christmas. This compilation is actually a set of 5 different "EPs" that Sufjan and friends made to give to their family and friends at Christmas time. You will want to buy a physical copy (don't download), because the CD's come with stickers, a comic, and lyrics (with guitar chords and all)! I am wearing mine out this year! The album includes some "old favorites," as well as some originals.

There are so many favorites but I have always liked Carpenter's Christmas Portrait. It covers most of the classic favorites, both secular and religious. Karen Carpenter's smooth alto is a joy to listen to.

I've always been a bit annoyed by all the Bright Eyes hype but I really enjoy the 2002, Christmas album. It's got some cool indie cameos and was co-arranged with Maria Taylor. It's got all the classics, check it out:

'A Charlie Brown Christmas' by Vince Guaraldi Trio is a go-to album that never grows old. It's *good* jazz music, that happens to have a feel-good Christmas vibe, and without been too Christmas-y.

It's only $4.99 for the expanded MP3 album on Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/5z6f2h
