Christmas music that doesn't suck

I'm not a big holiday person. Except for Halloween. And my birthday. I'm also not really anti-holidays.I love parties, cooking, and eating and drinking with my friends. What I really don't like is most Christmas music. It's sappy and maudlin and this time of the year it's unavoidable EVERYWHERE! Even here in the ROK. It makes me want to maim, kill, and find small children just to tell them there is no Santa. Christmas carolers are the absolute worst. I refuse to carol no matter how good the cause. I'll just give some money, thank you, and stay home and watch really violent spy movies.

The worse part about all the bad Christmas music is that there IS good Christmas music- lots of it. Here is just a small sample.
