I guess I'm the only relatively young traditionalist.

 

 

This is about as modern as I get.

Chad Fuck referred to the album but I just gave Vince Guaraldi Trio's "Charlie Brown Christmas" album a few spins again and it is the best one.

Had a hard time finding this one.  Not sure if the link will work, but this is Jimi Hendrix and Band of Gypsies practicing before their New Year's Eve gig at the Fillmore East in December 1969.  It's a medely of Little Drummer Boy, Silent Night and Auld Ang Syne, with a little Taps thrown in for good measure.  It's a little rough, as it is just a practice session that was not intended for release as a recording, but eventually was released a few years after Jimi's death.  Still, his mastery of feedback is incredible.  I'm usually a traditionalist when it comes to my Christmas music, but this is Jimi.

An old one I discovered in the last couple of years. I tend to like the ones that are a bit sad, bittersweet and thoughtful.
