I find that for Christmas music, I like artists that I don't listen to any other time of year, such as Anne Murray, Karen Carpenter, Johnny Mathis, Nat "King" Cole, Andy Williams and Bing Crosby. Not ashamed about that, but I might be embarrassed to be caught listening to the Carpenters in July!
One of my favorite Christmas albums is by a guy I'd not be the slightest bit embarrassed about... Ray Charles.
