I remember your post from last year on the good Christmas tunes and agreed with your liking for Mannheim Steamroller, and Loreena Mckennit's Christmas album. I also enjoy the Pogues', "Fairytale of New York," and am somewhat reluctant to admit that Jewel has some decent cuts on her Christmas effort released last year...
I'm glad you remember my post of last year. I have a much bigger one planned this year listing some more great Christmas music to check out.
