There are so many great Christmas records that we love in our house. While some tracks from each are on my "Filthy Animal Christmas" playlist ( https://spoti.fi/36vj5DO ), I wanted to start a thread about my fav. full albums. Maybe you'll discover something new! Happy Holidays!
Starting with the album of all albums...
