1	Christmas Portrait (1978) more music like this by The Carpenters An essential album for your fireside Christmas, it sold a million in 1978 and contains the classics "Merry Christmas, Darling" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." David A. Milberg, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
2	Christmas Songs (2005) more music like this by Diana Krall/Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra On her first full-length Christmas album, pianist/vocalist Diana Krall delivers a smoky, sophisticated, and slightly melancholy album perfectly suited to accompany egg nog cocktails and romantic afterglow holiday affairs. Although there isn't anything unexpected on Christmas Songs -- Irving Berlin's "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep" is as ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.58!
3	Holiday Sing-Along with Mitch Miller (1961) more music like this by Mitch Miller and the Gang Holiday Sing-Along with Mitch Miller, his second Christmas/holiday record, is as enjoyable as Christmas Sing-Along with Mitch, thanks to his commercial production and appealing song selection. There are no surprises here -- Miller's records are all essentially the same; the only things that change are the songs -- but anyone who enjoys his sound ... see all copies from $3.50! new only from $7.19!
4	Now That's What I Call Christmas! [Universal] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The Now series is known for crossing the boundaries of record labels in its attempt to provide definitive collections of hits -- usually from contemporary hits, but also of different eras and styles from the past (at least in its U.K. incarnation). Thankfully, the double-disc, 36-track collection Now That's What I Call Christmas! lives up to the ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $17.98!
5	Merry Christmas [Universal] (1992) more music like this by Bing Crosby "Der Bingle" in two distinctly different moods: from the solemnity of "Silent Night" and "Adeste Fidelis" (sung in Latin and English) to the playfulness ("gonna have a lotta fun") on "Jingle Bells," with The Andrews Sisters providing some smiles with their "Ji-ji-jingle" vocals. They duet on two more, including "Mele Kalikimaka." It also includes ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.95!
6	Merry Christmas (1994) more music like this by Mariah Carey A couple of missteps aside, Mariah Carey's co-penned "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is a well-crafted Phil Spector tribute, with Beach Boys-style harmonies, jangling bells, and sleigh-ride pace, injecting one of the few bits of exuberant fun in this Christmas album. Roch Parisien, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.69!
7	Trio '64 (1963) more music like this by Bill Evans Joining Bill Evans (piano) on Trio '64 (1964) -- his initial first three-piece recording for Verve -- is the compact rhythm section of Gary Peacock (bass) and Paul Motian (drums). The effort spotlights their communal and intuitive musical discourse, hinging on an uncanny ability of the musicians to simultaneously hear and respond. All the more ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
8	A Very Special Christmas (1989) more music like this by Various Artists Recorded to benefit the Special Olympics, this has some of the biggest names in contemporary music, most covering seasonal favorites with mixed success. Outstanding tracks include The Pretenders "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," with Chrissie Hynde giving a touching performance. Run-D.M.C.'s topical "Christmas in Hollis" relies heavily on ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.30!
9	Merry Christmas Strait to You (1986) more music like this by George Strait Merry Christmas Strait to You features George Strait performing a variety of holiday favorites. Featured songs include "White Christmas," "There's a New Kid in Town," "Winter Wonderland," and "Merry Christmas Straight to You," along with six others. Strait's performances are rather straightforward and consistent with traditional performances of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.99!
10	Have a Holly Jolly Christmas (1965) more music like this by Burl Ives Have a Holly Jolly Christmas is a compilation of holiday songs performed by Burl Ives. The award-winning actor performed the definitive version of the title track, thus forever cementing his place in the genre. The other songs here (many of which have also gotten quite a lot of radio play) are all standards for the most part, and are all sung in ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.95!
11 view cover	The Christmas Album (1992) more music like this by Neil Diamond While Neil Diamond's The Christmas Album is designed almost exclusively for his adult contemporary constituency, the vocalist still manages to light up most of the obviousness of these standards with his trademark gritty soul and flair for inflection. Opening with the grandeur of "O Come, O Come Emmanuel/We Three Kings of Orient Are" and "Silent ... see all copies from $2.10! new only from $3.84!
12 view cover	The Spirit of Christmas (1985) more music like this by Ray Charles A fine holiday album for those who enjoy that type of thing. Ray Charles puts his inimitable spin on hymns, carols, and seasonal material, and does it well. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.00! new only from $10.00!
13 view cover	Pretty Paper (1979) more music like this by Willie Nelson Artists almost always release Christmas albums when they have a comfortable level of sales, and when Willie Nelson was at a popular peak during the late '70s, he chose to exploit his popularity by releasing Pretty Paper. Fortunately, the album was hardly a toss-off -- it was one of the finest country holiday records ever released. It's not just ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.50!
14 view cover	December (2002) more music like this by Chris Botti The story about there being more suicides around the holidays turns out to be a myth, but like all urban legends, it caught on among the populace (or at least among lazy journalists) because it sounds like it should be true; as trumpeter Chris Botti writes in a sleeve note to his seasonal collection, December, "At no other time of the year is ... see all copies from $12.47! new only from $17.28!
15 view cover	The Premonition Years: 1994-2002 (2007) more music like this by Patricia Barber The Premonition Years: 1994-2002 collects tracks the jazz pianist/singer/songwriter Patricia Barber recorded for the independent Premonition label. These are the cuts that helped solidify Barber's reputation as an enigmatic, cerebral, and creatively inspired artist with a knack for intimate and reflective cabaret-influenced performances that ... see all copies from $32.00! new only from $32.17!
16 view cover	Give Me Your Love for Christmas (1969) more music like this by Johnny Mathis A million-seller, it features the Mathis sound after he returned to Columbia Records from the Mercury label. David A. Milberg, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.95! new only from $9.22!
17 view cover	A Christmas Story (1999) more music like this by Point of Grace Producer Brown Bannister and A&R director Brent Bourgeois seem to have been going for diversity in putting together a Point Of Grace Christmas album. Among the 17 songs in 14 tracks are traditional carols, popular evergreens, and five new compositions. The older songs are given lush, shimmering arrangements sometimes so different from the familiar ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $5.84!
18 view cover	Now That's What I Call Christmas!, Vol. 2: The Signature Collection (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Marking something of a break from the Now That's What I Call Music! series' focus on the new, Now That's What I Call Christmas! Vol.2: The Signature Collection devotes one disc to contemporary pop versions of Christmas songs and another disc to vocal pop, jazz, and country versions of holiday favorites. Destiny's Child gets the album off to a ... see all copies from $20.84! new only from $21.15!
19 view cover	Let There Be Peace on Earth (1993) more music like this by Vince Gill Christmas music releases have become a country music tradition, but the result is often generic mushy background instrumentation on the same moldy standards. Guilty of this is Vince Gill, whose Let There Be Peace on Earth is as cliche-ridden as they come. Roch Parisien, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
20 view cover	An Old Time Christmas (1989) more music like this by Randy Travis Of these ten Christmas songs, some are old, some are new, and one is by Travis ("How Do I Wrap My Heart for Christmas," written with Paul Overstreet). "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" is outstanding. Brian Mansfield, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99!
21 view cover	A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector (1963) more music like this by Phil Spector Featuring Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" in its prime and his early stable of artists, the Ronettes, Crystals, Darlene Love, and Bob B. Soxx & the Blue Jeans, A Christmas Gift for You From Phil Spector stands as inarguably the greatest Christmas record of all time. Spector believed he could produce a record for the holidays that would capture not ... see all copies from $5.98! new only from $17.64!
22 view cover	Christmas with the Chipmunks [Delta] (2000) more music like this by The Chipmunks Parties interested in an inexpensive way of obtaining a handful of seasonal cheer from the eternally youthful antics of the Chipmunks need look no further. Although it clocks in at well under half an hour, this meagerly priced title draws upon the two original Christmas With the Chipmunks volumes that were first issued in the early '60s. The vari ... see all copies from $2.63! new only from $2.63!
23 view cover	Swingin' Christmas (2007) more music like this by Michael Bolton Michael Bolton was still sporting a full mane of hair and recording for Columbia/Sony when he released his last holiday album -- This Is the Time: The Christmas Album -- in 1996. Now, a sheared Bolton has moved to Concord, a jazz label, and has taken another stab at the holiday album on A Swingin' Christmas. The album's strongest selling point is ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.20!
24 view cover	Secret of Giving: A Christmas Collection (1999) more music like this by Reba McEntire Reba McEntire's second Christmas album is a departure from 1988's Merry Christmas to You. Secret of Giving features more down-to-earth, pop-country tracks that reflect her decidedly contemporary country style of the '90s. Cheerful and sincere, McEntire shows her usual eloquence on songs like "This Christmas," "Up on the Housetop," "This Is My ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $5.00!
25 view cover	Chris Isaak Christmas (2004) more music like this by Chris Isaak If you're going to invite a hipster recording artist into your home for Christmas, it may as well be Chris Isaak -- he's cool but he's also well-mannered, and can act sly enough for your thinks-she's-bohemian sister without scaring your Grandmother in the process. Like no small number of veteran recording artists, Isaak has cut an album of holiday ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!
