"A Charlie Brown Christmas" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio. The only part I don't like is where the cast of the show starts singing "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing". I just skip to the next song.

You beat me to it!

Not an album, but I love the way The Temptations do "Silent Night". It was free on iTunes store a few years ago.

That's my all-time favorite Christmas song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfgNR_aiSTg

The whole album isn't great but I love Ringo Starr's "I Want To Be Santa Claus"

has excellent versions of "Little Drummer Boy" and a good, triply, original "Peace Be With You"

Do I have to like just one album?

I prefer Pandora's Swinging Christmas Radio.

Count me in. One of my all time favorites. I really like Vince's piano playing. Heck, I can even put up with the Hark song too. (tu)
