So, I’ve been a little under the weather the past few days and my mom came to help out around the house yesteray, so no posts. But as I promised before, here are my picks for best Christmas Albums. These are the ones you can buy and put them on and just let them play straight through.

1. Bing Crosby- White Christmas
   
   I don’t know if it gets any better than this album for a classic Christmas. In my eyes, Bing is the King of Christmas. Plus, the Andrews Sisters are on it, and it has one of my favorite Christmas songs ever- “Mele Kalikimaka”.
2. Vince Guaraldi Trio- A Charlie Brown Christmas
   
   The only reason this comes in at number 2 is because it doesn’t have the singalong quality that Bing does. However, it does give you the opportunity to dance like a Peanuts character.
3. Various Artists-A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector
   
   There are so many gems on this record. It is definitely of a time and tons of fun. It’s so darn upbeat and poppy.  I can’t get enough of Ronnie Spector or Darlene Love on this album.
4. Various Artists-A Very Special Christmas
   
   Many of the modern rockin’ Christmas classics you know and love come from this album. It really is a great album. It seems like this one became a classic pretty fast with Bruce Springsteen, U2, and Run DMC.
5. The Three Suns- A Ding Dong Dandy Christmas (click here for a download link to a ZIP file of MP3s)
   
   This one is a realtively new addition to my repertoire. I didn’t know about this album until I met Rob and now I don’t know if Christmas would be the same without it. It’s great for wrapping presents and feeling like you’re in a Technicolor movie.

BONUS: Watch the Peanuts kids dance and pick your favorite dance to do!
