This is actually the first year in over ten years that I've been able to enjoy Christmas music. Working retail just sucks the holiday spirit out of you, and the appearance of Christmas music the day after Halloween is a horrible thing. Especially when such horrors as "Santa Baby" being sung by an obviously male vocalist comes over the PA system once an hour.
Anyways!
Would be too much to link, but everything from The Nutcracker has been my favorite Christmas music since I was probably about three. My mum used to joke that until I was seven or eight, she could get all the presents wrapped out in the open without me noticing/caring as long as she had a recording of the ballet playing elsewhere in the house.
I know it's been posted in other forms already, but the traditional Ukrainian Bell Carol is also a favorite:

And... this one:

It's the only thing I ever heard my grandfather sing, and he only did it a few times. I think it's actually the memory I like and not the song.
