I don't have a list. I like them all (well, almost all.) What I hate are all those countless albums with the same set of Christmas songs by every greedy pop singer whose manager salivates seeing big dollar signs from another "evergreen" classic album (i.e. selling a few thousand copies every year in December.) I don't want to hear Trisha Yearwood interpret "The Christmas Song" that Faith Hill interpreted last year, and Brooks and Dunn the year before that.

But when Alan Jackson (or somebody) records an original Christmas song, why, that's cool!

I know exactly what you mean. I avoid the "cookie cutter" Christmas albums like the plague. Note to music industry: "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting)," "White Christmas" and "Jingle Bell Rock" have been covered enough times already.

I collect the Christmas albums that have at least some original music on them.

I have an old Alan Jackson cassette around here somewhere with "Please Daddy, Don't Get Drunk This Christmas" on it. Now thats a classic!
