5. Peter, Paul and Mary: A Holiday Celebration
: This classic is haunting, warm and, despite PP&M's ignorance, Christ-exalting. 4. Andrew Peterson: Behold the Lamb of God: The first true Christmas album, it is, in reality, a history of salvation. From Abraham to Jesus, Peterson brilliantly makes the grandest meta-narrative a musical sight to behold.
3. Mannheim Steamroller: Christmas
: The first Steamroller album (I think), and the only good one.

: Jesus seriously considered postponing his incarnation to coincide with Guaraldi's 1965 masterpiece.

: Hands down, the best Christmas album ever. There's just no way they could have produced this thing with any more creativity or beauty. All Christmas albums should aspire to be what this one is.

I totally agree with these suggestions. However.
Sufjan Stevens Songs for Christmas didn't make the list? Shame.
Also, what about *NSync Home for Christmas? Best version of O Holy Night, hands down.
1. These are not "suggestions." They are truth.
2. Per Sufjan, (1) Wait for my honorable mentions list, and (2) His album(s) don't make the true list because (a) His project was too expansive, (b) Some of it is too Sufjan (that is, he broke rule number 2 in making a good Christmas album: "Don't screw up the originals. Make them your own, but don't reinvent the wheel.").
3. Per N'Sync, wait for my list of great Christmas singles.
