I really like Gregorian's Christmas albums. Chillingly good with help from Amelia Brightman.

One of the most 'Christmassy' for me, and always gets left out of Christmas compilation albums, is " Wombling Merry Christmas" by The Wombles.
I also love " Turkey Lurkey Time" by Debbie Gravitte. But it has to be her version. The original stage version ( it's from the stage musical "Promises Promises" ) is a bit strange and very dated. Hard candy Christmas from the best little whore house in texas |
