The Perfect Christmas Album

What song(s) would you put on your perfect Christmas Album? I started thinking of my perfect album playlist while mudding General Mayhem’s new basement bedroom. Two weeks ago we had an emergency egress window installed in the basement. Since then I have been building a closet and hanging sheet rock. I’m not certain if it was the Christmas music on the radio (my portable radio is so old and so broken that I cannot get half of the stations on the dial-but the Boss gave it to me 15 years ago and I won’t part with it) or the white mud I was spreading on the wall or both, but my mind wandered to my favorite Christmas recordings.


My top four picks are:

“God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” by The Barenaked Ladies with Sarah McLachlan

“Good King Wenceslas” by Mel Torme

“(It Must’ve Been Ol’) Santa Clause” by Harry Connick Jr.

“Christmas Festival” by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra



What should I add to this list?
