There's a fair bit of decent Christmas stuff. My preferences would be:
Let it Snow - Dean Martin
I Believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake
Happy Christmas/War Is Over - John Lennon and Yoko Ono
Hark the Herald Angels - The Fall
Jingle Bell Rock - The Fall
Anything by Perry Como (he did a whole LP of Christmas stuff)
Brass bands and the like always have a good Christmas feel to them, and I especially like The
Salvation Army International Staff Band (again, I have a Christmas LP by them)
Henry Purcell's Behold, I bring you glad tidings. Purcell is the number one religious composer in my book.
And if I can throw up a slightly silly nomination, I'd add that there's an Aphex Twin track called Goon Gumpos which has an very crisp, wintery feel to it. It always makes me think of Christmas, for some reason.
