Well some good albums are:
Ella Fitzgerald - Ella Wishes You A Swinging X-mas - very much Christmas spirit, all good old classics in cheerful interpretions by one of the worlds most famous voices.
Barbra Streisand - A Christmas Album - an 'old' and forgotten album, but I am surprised of the high quality of the tracks and the very fine arrengements and original interpretations. Never were a fan of Streisands music but A Christmas Album is really something. This album is according to me far better than her newer Christmas Memories which by the way are sold together I believe in a special pack.
Diana Krall - Christmas Songs - A first class performer has joined up with very fine musicians and the result is nothing but interesting. The release has gotten a lot of attention and is a very rare thing when it comes to quality. It is already a classic. Haven't got the album yet, but will.
Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. - Christmas With The Rat Pack - Christmas spirit as it is. Brings you back to a very fine and classy Christmas feeling, with wonderful performances.
