What's your go-to Christmas album?

Dec 24, 2012 9:59 PM

OK, I'm not a huge fan of Christmas music in general and after about a week of radio play I'm ready to pull my hair out. However, this year I've discovered 'A Very She & Him Christmas' which I had previously bought for my wife while she was deployed last year. I've got to say, this thing is actually quite listenable and I can feel my Christmas cheer increasing exponentially. Good job, me! What's your favorite?

I am actually in the process of bringing up the speakers from the basement to hook up to our record player. We have a solid, unbroken tradition: we play the Nutcracker Suite every xmas eve, which is two records, front and back. We then put on some La Boheme. (Because nothing says xmas like a lovelorn courtesan dying of consumption!) Then we switch to the oldies radio station for the rest of the evening. And I have a 300 song xmas music mix on my Zune for tomorrow, xmas day.

The Little Drummer Boy album by the Harry Simeone Chorale, from 1958 (before my time!) A true classic!

Andrew Peterson's "Behold the Lamb of God" is one of my favorites. Great concept album that traces Christ throughout the Bible and actually makes the genealogy in the gospel of Matthew kinda fun.

Family Tradition dictates that it's not Christmas unless you've been listening to the Elvis Christmas CD for so many weeks on non-stop repeat that you want to go kill the King with a pb & banana fruitcake.

This year it's been the early Christmas present I bought for the other half of the household: Straight No Chaser's Christmas Cheers. I've been wandering around happily singing "Donde Esta Santa Claus" and "Hey Santa" for a week.

Charlie Brown Christmas by Vince Guaraldi

Who doesn't like laid-back Christmas jazz?

@thumperchick: We have something similar, only it's Johnny Mathis instead of Elvis.

I really love Vanessa Williams' "Star Bright" album; I can listen to it over and over without going insane.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
