I would like to buy some new Christmas music but don't want anything cheesy please. I bought a CD from the post office last year (I know, I was setting myself up for failure but it was so convenient) that turned out to be elevator music.

So far I own Tori Amos and Kings College Choir. I was thinking about Kate Ceberano maybe? I want something I can listen to in 5 years time and not cringe.

Sufjan Stevens has a Christmas album. I can't remember what it is called, but it's just gorgeous.

The Kate Kate Ceberano christmas album is nice. I also like Diana Krall, The Pogues Dairlytale of New York and this:

Spotify has lots of alternative playlists.

Might be cringe worthy to you but I listen to the Mariah Carey Christmas CD every year. I really like it. I have had it for quite some time and still love it.

For something a bit more classical - Benjamin Britten's "A Ceremony of Carols".
And of course there is always "Messiah" (and arguments rage re whether it's really for Christmas, but that's the tradition).

Haven't listened to it yet, so it might be crap, but I am going to try the Michael Buble Christmas CD... no idea what it's like, but it has my all time favourite Christmas carol on it (Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas) so I don't really care what the rest of it is like.

Weezer did a Christmas album. Some of the songs are available on YouTube.

I particularly like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIOfgAeS1vQ
