I love this one, which of course has the wonderful Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses.
Then there is this lovely record by Diana Panton.
I see that the ACT Records Christmas With My Friends has had a mention: we have eight of them.
Much to love on Ze. I am a big fan.
Ultra-Lounge Christmas Cocktails has been a family fave for nearly 30 years. Different, funny, eclectic tracks. One or two need the skip button, but most are good fun.
Wintersmith I don’t play much Steeleye Span these days, but we generally listen to this in the run up to Christmas.

As a huge Clapton fan I would have to say that this is not his finest hour. However, there is still a lot of good material on the album but the overall quality is best described as variable.
I suspect his target audience when he recorded the album was his young family rather than his die hard fans
I have always struggled to identify his finest five minutes let alone hour 
. Mind you, given some of the other suggestions on this thread…
No point arguing the point with you Mike, suffice to say that my late wife was not a great fan of his or any electric guitar based music, until we saw him live for the first time.
On leaving the concert she simply said ‘I get it now’ and from then always had a couple of compilation discs in her car.
I have both the CD and book.
Perhaps I’ll get the book this year.
I’m a fan of lots of the sixties stuff. After that though I thought he was representative of some of the worst of the 70s. Worse than that though I thought he simply started playing within himself to the point he could no longer do any of what he used to be amply able.
My uncle and wife are huge fans. Saw much of the Albert Hall runs as well as the MEN Arena.
His searingly honest autobiography suggests he didn’t consider the 70’s his best period & he acknowledged that many were disappointed when he moved away from the 10/15 minute blistering solos.
He said they didn’t much interest him anymore & that he was always interested in exploring different music styles, return to blues from time to time.
His early success set him up for life &, I think, made him selfish, able to produce music to please him rather than fans. If they liked it, great. If they didn’t, hard luck.
His autobiography, along with a Tom Petty documentary a few years ago, made me think that being a world famous rock star wasn’t all it is cracked up to be. I would have taken a chance with the money though……
Sound good on the LP12?
When I saw an Ayler Christmas I immediately thought “Albert Ayler”? That would be unique indeed. 
Wow, all this Xmas music so far and not one mention of a song that makes someone millions every Holiday season. Guaranteed to be #1 at least in North America. I’m impressed.
