More closely associated with Easter but has always worked for me around Christmas:

 

[Hoops66]

I was hooked on this the first time I heard it. It still is a winner for me.

 

[Centerstream]

I believe her name is Lisa Layne. I saw her at the Medora Musical in North Dakota and was absolutely astounded with her singing much of the Patsy Cline songbook. She has portrayed Patsy in a number of musicals and she looked just like her. I think she still performs. So here's an OT of the OT from Lisa:

@Centerstream, thanks for posting the Vince Vance and the Valiants "All I want For Christmas". I never heard it before, and I am so impressed with her voice and the whole song and sax and all. You have made a merrier Christmas here! Thanks again.

gotta have it.

This is my favorite Christmas song! It always puts a smile on my face.

Here's a cool combo of two happy songs.

So...Pentatonix has won this thread hands down.

 

[Bigboote]

And while we're on Peanuts.

Linus and Lucy - Vince Guaraldi Trio

I have actually listened to that album several times since (ahem) a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving. Since I grew up with A Charlie Brown Christmas, it just screams the season to me. Plus it’s really, really good music.

So...Pentatonix has won this thread hands down.

Guilty as charged.

 

[Woof 101]

I think this would fit in for many here.

 

[Bigboote]

Here's an old wassailing song from Steeleye Span:

Bing Crosby singing "White Christmas". Loved the movie also.
