1. Sufjan Stevens: Songs for Christmas: Broad, joyous, Sufjany.
2. Michael McDonald: This Christmas: Most of this won't be your cup o' tea, but several of the tracks are flat out amazing, especially "Wexford Carol" and " Peace." The way McDonald sings, you'd think he was a Christian (actually, I think he is).
3. Sojourn: Advent Songs: Christ-centered, musically varied, big. "Glory Be" and "What Child Is This" are must-downloads.

4. Salvation Is Created: A Christmas Record From Bifrost Arts: Already wrote about this here. Really excellent stuff.
5. Fernando Ortega: Christmas Songs: Pretty standard for Ortega, but standard Ortega makes for great Christmas music.
I would love to keep going, and there are some more out there that are bearable, but let's not press our luck.
Soon to come Best Christmas Singles.

I appreciate this list, but I think you're going to have to create one more.
You must include Harry Connick JR's Harry for the Holidays. If you don't know it, go pick it up!
Yes, I know it. No, I just can't bring myself to recommend it. Perhaps it's just me, all those horrendous years playing big band music...
