Default favorite xmas album?

I love good Christmas music... not necessarily 90% of the crap they play on the radio though.

One of my current favorites is The Three Tenors Christmas

Other pretty good ones:
A Real Irish Christmas
Canadian Brass: Noel
BB King: A Christmas Celebration of Hope
Westminster Cathedral Christmas
Nat King Cole: Christmas Favorites
etc etc

Also neat is this collection of recordings from Wax Cylinders. Amazingly different despite only being 80-90 years old. Also free mp3s since they are so old:

anyone else have any favorites?

The new ATHF- Have Yourself A Meaty Little Christmas

Maybe NSFW!

This one is safe:

Frankly, I can't stand Christmas music anymore. Working in radio and hearing it 9-10 hours a day everyday for a month and a half, for over a dozen years, really turned me off to it

Also the two Fab Four (Beatles tribute band) Christmas albums are exceptional, if you can find them.

A Fab Four Christmas: The Ultimate Beatles Tribute, Vol. 1

and

Have Yourself a FAB-ulous Little Christmas.

I'm a fan of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra myself. For more traditional, it's hard to go wrong with Johnny Mathis's Christmas.
