The below list of the 15 Best Christmas Albums of All-Time is of course the fantastically subjective opinion of this one skinny, Christmas loving, dude from Canada. Christmas music and the lyrical accompaniment within is speaking in a language that everybody can understand and sing along with. This is communication in its’ most straightforward and pleasing form. Nobody here is going to try to fool you, they’re just trying to keep you warm. Moreover, the finest Christmas music usually presents itself in the most sonically digestible form. Christmas music rejoices in our sudden embrace of what is best about us and refines that raw cold and darkness into precious glimmering threads to weave in with tidings of comfort and joy, peace on Earth, goodwill to men. The music crafted over the years to accompany this Yuletide endeavour is brilliant in encompassing all that is best about the season. Here, when the world dips to its’ coldest and darkest we elevate our humanity to celebrate the noblest aspects of being human- love, generosity, kindness, music. One of the exceptions though is Christmas.
