The only choice for me is "Christmas with Nat and Dean" :-O

Big-band style music is quite atmospheric for Christmas :) Regards Barry

It depends on the song. For things like traditional xmas songs (Silent night, little drummer boy, etc), I prefer ochestral or acapella choir arrangements. For modern songs like white xmas, etc, I prefer the people that did them originally.. I don't like to hear whacked out rockers thrashing a song to within a bar of it's key with their special stylizations (like they do on the national anthem too), and I don't like the even more modern xmas songs like "jingle bell rock" or any of that crap. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

There's a group called "The Crossing" my sister found a while back, they do a great rendition of "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" on flute and didgeridoo. Their other tracks tend to have annoying singers or even more annoying spoken pieces (what, you can't sing with feeling so you think talking about it is gonna help?!?), so i can't really recommend them.

Indeed - the cartoon AND the newer movie are both good. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

For the off-the-beaten-track: The group Rockapella[^] has a couple Christmas albums. They are something of a novelty group, in that all of their music is a capella (although they sound like they've got a drummer and a bassist). You've probably seen the Folger's commercials they've done, and they were the 'house band' for Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? on PBS. Handel's Messiah: A Soulful Celebration[^], produced by Quincy Jones, is a really cool restyling of the Messiah. It features artists like Take 6, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and so on.

Definitely a second vote for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Lately I've been enjoying their second album (The Christmas Attic) even more than the first. They also have a DVD available of their TV special from last year. Contrary to popular belief (and KaZaA), TSO has never collaberated with Metallica. People just have a bad habit of mis-naming songs on Kazaa. Jeff Sand jsand at interaccess dot com
