I love the score to Elf. It sounds adorable and cheery.

You can laugh, but it's really one of my all-time favorites! I could go a whole Christmas season only listening to this CD, Vince Guaraldi, and Sufjan Stevens' five (really) Christmas albums.

Mister Matt, The first song I play for Christmas is Nat's "The Christmas Song" on Thanksgiving night after dinner. For me, it ushers in the holiday.
Just give the world Love.

You absolutely must get Cyndi Lauper's "Merry Christmas...Have A Nice Life!" She has such a variety of songs.

She's great on the old songs: "In the Bleak Midwinter" "Three Ships". And she gives us some great upbeat songs: "Minnie and Santa" "Feels Like Christmas" "Rockin" Around The Christmas Tree".

But a warning: If you listen to "Minnie and Santa" you will never be able to get it out of your head. You'll be sitting on a beach in the middle of July and all of a sudden you'll start singing "Minnie and Santa".
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I just ordered the Peninsula Women's Chorus CD that givesmevoice recommended. (OK, and while I was at it, I got their very first CD, too.) I can't wait for them to arrive. Thanks for the recommendation...I'd have never discovered them on my own.

This is not really good, but it sorta developed into a guilty pleasure last year. Also pretty endearing. It helps to be under the influence while listening.

It definitely had a Forbidden Broadway element to it, that's for sure, and that song is Exhibit A.

Any one with:

Eder
Nat King
Sinatra
Neil Diamond

I want some of the odder known titles to come out on CD. There is a song (and I believe a CD of the same name of) "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer"

I think Alessandri should do one with his take on Christmas

A CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR YOU from Phil Spector.

Darlene Love, The Ronettes, The Crystals. It's truly the greatest.

As for individual songs for your collection...there are too many to name. But you've got to include FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK by The Pogues and Kirsty Maccoll and CHRISTMAS WRAPPING by The Waitresses!

uncageg - That very same song is our family tradition as the official start of Christmas morning. When we were little, my brother and I were not allowed in the living room Christmas morning until we heard that song playing on the giant stereo console (I think I was about 7 years old when I figured out why). You know, the huge wooden piece of furniture that contained a turntable and radio in one side and a place to store your LPs on the other hidden under sliding wooden panels. I wish I still had that thing.

Of course, if this event has a specified ending time you'll want to have a copy of Christmas Shoes to clear the room!

You're welcome! Any time I participate in a Christmas music sharing meme or recommendation thread, I have to mention them. I really hope you like the CDs.
