Playing a Dave Brubeck Christmas right now, and it is rather pleasant.
What else can I play and not go crazy? I do like the Manheim steamroller stuff as well.
Peanuts is always nice as well

Christmas albums that don't make you want to jump off a bridge.
Also of course Vince Guaraldi
Beach Boys Christmas not bad.
Sinatra
If you’re a Dylan fan Christmas in the Heart is essential if not borderline comical. Tradition around these parts.

Phil Spector Xmas with the girl groups is my favorite, followed by Jackson 5 and anything Elvis.

^^^ Ha ha; Fear rules.
Though unfortunately brief (I'm not sure the whole CD even lasts a half-hour), the Ventures Christmas Album is a lot of fun (and with each song intro calling back to some old rock classic).
Then there's this... A fine Greensleeves is the best thing on the album:

Sufjan Steven's "Songs for Christmas." Great 5 cd box set, but you can stream it here with this playlist too. Merry Christmas, friends!

Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

Cool Christmas Blues
I listen to it year round. And I don't like Christmas music.
Well, unless it's Andy Williams totally over singing with the frothy horns.
But that's just common sense.

The whole album is great. On Spotify.
My regular rotation every Christmas. No sappy. Just clean fun.
My wife was playing traditional Christmas and my son said Santa baby sucks ass. I agree. And Mariah Carey needs to go away.Kill all the telemarkers
But they’ll put us in jail if we kill all the telemarkers
Telemarketers! Kill the telemarketers!
Oh we can do that. We don’t even need a reason

When you're having a real shitty one there is nothing better:
For albums I like Beach Boys, Funky Christmas, Ella Fitzgerald (the older one is better), and "A Christmas Gift For You."
