Anyone get any recently made Christmas albums they can recommend?

 

I picked up Joel Paterson's "Hi Fi Christmas Guitar" and am enjoying it.

Edit: I don't know why I originally put this in the non-music forum. Could an admin out there do me kindly, and put this in the music forum?

We put up our crap yesterday yesterday - my 8 year old had a blast on Spotify - we must have heard 50 versions of Jingle Bells,  from every musical genre -- it appears that he ready for a rave - he enjoyed the house/techno versions the best  - followed by the heavy metal versions. 

 

We always start our decoration day with Dylan's record. We listened to a Beach Boy one, too. I tried getting through some the Beatles Christmas stuff - via YouTube - but my kid wanted me to turn it off.

Don't really have a great album, though I DO think traditional albums like Steve and Eydie's Christmas or Elvis' Christmas records just sound right, as corny as they may be in parts.

 

I want to give a thumbs up to the Flaming Lips "A Change At Christmas (Say It Isn't So)". Really great.

I genuinely love Bob Dylan's Christmas in the Heart. I think I started off listening to it ironically, mainly to annoy the wife but after awhile we both started getting really into it. You can tell he's having a lot of fun on it, there's a wide range of style, the arrangements are top tier, and his crackly vocals suit the holidays. I know a lot of hardcore Dylan fans think it's one of his worst, but I love every moment of it.
