The entire Charlie Brown Christmas album. My family plays it when we put up the tree. It’s wonderful.
I put about ten different versions of Sleigh Ride on a disk and played it on a loop for a Christmas party. FOr several hours, no one noticed that it was the same song over and over.

One of our favourites is the Gaither’s Christmas A Time for Joy.
