It's not an album, but Sharon Van Etten and Rufus Wainwright do a great version of "Baby it's cold outside" on the new Holidays Rule album. Here's a link if you want to hear it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cTj_nLEim4

 

[The Count of Merkur Cristo]

My all-time favorite that I fondly remembered as a kid and grown-up is;

The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole, "The Christmas Song" Album, 1963

"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping on your nose..." Nat King Cole

[ReAndyMator]

Songs For Christmas, Sufjan Steven

+1. And it even has a chord book, so when I played 'O Come O Come Emmanuel' at the carol service a couple of weeks back, we did it Sufjan style...

Christmas in the heart, Bob Dylan

+1. Always worth a laugh.

Not a Christmas fan really, though since my daughter was born i have been getting more into it, and as I'm not a massive fan of Christmas music but when Mark Lanegan does a Christmas album, all should listen.
