This is one of my favorite thread topics, so I won't be a Grinch and say, "Use the search feature!" Instead, I've done it for you. Lots of great suggestions in the annual threads from the recent past, including (if I don't mind saying so myself) the many albums that I've recommended and rated:

2006 http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f9/chr...thread-203863/

Reindeer Room -- chill/lounge

(...though I have to admit to not having heard 3 yet.)

...And the Reindeer You Rode In On -- experimental

I'm pretty much in the "bah humbug" category, so the only way I can take christmas carols is completely redone.

Oh, except George Winston, I like him.

been listening to Christmas in the Heart by Bob Dylan a few times this week, overall I find it a bit unbearable but is preferable to most christmas music I have heard prior.
