Get ready for it.................

John Denver and The Muppets.  Yes!  I said it

I love all the other choices others have made, but the John Denver/Muppets Christmas album is a must in our house.  I bought it for my daughter when she was little, she loved the muppets and I loved John Denver.  It's considered a classic now.

I love the traditional Christmas carols sung by the singers from the 40s-60s.  I'll add to them Andrea Bocelli, (we are seeing him Sunday) Alfie Boe, Josh Groban and Katherine Jenkins.

I cannot stand the modern takes of what were once beautiful, melodious songs. (I know, bah humbug)

I agree with Lulu. I only like the voices I grew up with. I don't care for  the modern spin on them

I do like carol when sung by a traditional choir, particularly from the UK

I prefer orchestras or instrumental groups or chorale type Christmas music (with a "few" exceptions).  .  I'm not much for solo artists period and some of their Christmas songs I've heard do nothing to change that.

My very favorites are the Carpenters!!!  She had such a lovely, clear voice!!  Next would be Johnny Mathis and Bing Crosby!

WOW !  Thanks for all the other names added to the list !  How could I have forgotten Dean Martin ( he and my dad could have been brothers--striking resemblance ).

Totally forgot about groups.  Found Christmas albums by the Three Tenors and the Vienna Choir hidden in the stack to be organized someday soon!

Have a melodious holiday, one and all !

Love Xmas music by Karen Carpenter. Celine Dion and Andy Williams.

i also just heard Jennifer Nettles' Xmas album and it was great.

I agree with a lot of the ones already mentioned, especially the older ones.  I am not a fan of remakes as the originals are often the best.

To that list I would add Randy Owen.

There's a new (to me) singer who has recently appeared on country music award shows.

Brett Something?  He's good, he sounds a lot like Sinatra.  Not that there will ever be another Sinatra...
