Hm....very difficult. You could be in for a hard time there...if you want jazz versions of Christmas tunes - you may want to check out Grover Washington's Christmas CD...

There are vocals but not much - more an instrumental album.

 

For classical/tradition: try these:

 

Corelli: Christmas Concerto

Hely-Hutchinson: A Carol Symphony

 

A very difficult question there -

 

But I do think there are more instrumental christmas albums on the jazz side of things...

 

Me thinks: Charlie Brown...

Good luck man!

+1 on Charlie Brown (Vince Guaraldi). That is a beautiful record that I listen to throughout the year.

Check out "December" by George Winston. It's solo piano. It's not strictly Christmas music, although there are a few Christmas songs on it. If you have people over it's a great background album. Definitely has a holiday feel.
