What is your go-to holiday album?
To expand upon the "do you listen to Christmas music" question:
The Mariah Carey holiday Pandora station is driving me nuts, with 841,976 versions of All I Want For Christmas Is You. After asking some people at work (whom I don't want for Christmas), I've gotten a few good recommendations, but I still feel I need more.
My favorites I've found so far:
Brian Setzer Orchestra - Boogie Woogie Christmas
Trans-Siberian Orchestra - pretty much anything
Barenaked Ladies - Barenaked for the Holidays
Relient K - Let it Snow Baby... Let it Reindeer
Obviously from the above list I'm looking for more upbeat stuff, but I'd be interested to be privy to all of the deals.woot community's preferences.
Happy Holidays!

A Colbert Christmas, maybe Have Yourself A Meaty Christmas (Aqua Teen Hunger Force)
Gene Autry's Christmas album. It's the only Christmas music I'll ever listen to willingly.
My computer tells me I have 26 hours of christmas music, so it's hard to pick out one. Generally though, my favorites are:
-Older Mannheim Steamroller before they became lame
-Vince Guaraldi
-Bing Crosby: you can never go wrong with classics
-TSO
-Cambridge Singers
-Anything in a renaissance/baroque style
The Beach Boys Christmas Album
Dr. Demento Presents: The Greatest Christmas Novelty CD of All Time
Lennon Sisters or Brenda Lee
The Lost Christmas Eve by Trans-Siberian Orchestra or A Charlie Brown Christmas by Vince Guaraldi Trio. I am also a sucker for good orchestral/choral music. EDIT: @clarinerd has good taste.
The Charlie Brown Christmas album....classic
"Hymns, Carols, and Songs about Snow" by Tuck Andress (of Tuck & Patti)--wonderful guitar that I look forward to all year. So much so that I break it out at least once during the summer to visit for a spell.
I usually hate christmas music, but a very scary solstice is my one exception.
here's a sample if you're interested:

I don't celebrate anymore, but Disco Noel is great listening anytime.
