Five awesome Christmas albums, in no particular order of awesomeness.
-Ami Grant's
Home for Christmas album. I grew up listening to this. Every December, when we got out the Christmas CDs, I would sneak this one away and fall asleep to it every night. Some nights I put the whole CD on repeat; other nights I just listened to "Breath of Heaven" over and over again.
-Josh Groban's
Noel album. For some reason this CD lacks (sidenote: I literally spent 30 seconds trying to find the word "manque" in English, for this context) "Oh Holy Night," but it's otherwise really beautiful.
-Straight No Chaser's
Christmas Cheers album. If you're unfamiliar with this group, they're a well-known all-male a cappella group, one of the best, I think. I'm more familiar with just individual songs, but I looked up their albums online, and this is probably the best Christmas one. "The 12 Days of Christmas" is one of my favorite songs.
-Disney Channel's
Christmas Hits 2007 album. Don't look at me like that! I really like a lot of these covers and new arrangements.
-Michael Bublé's
Let It Snow EP. His voice makes me melt. Nuff said.
