Who sang on the best recording of your favorite Christmas song?

[bobweaver]

I've never been all that much of a fan of Celine Dion in the past, but today I heard her recording of "O Holy Night" while driving, and it turned into a "driveway moment" for me (where you arrive home but still sit in the car until something on the radio is finished). What a voice that woman has. Now I see why she got that huge contract in Vegas. So what is your favorite recording of a Christmas song?

Ray Charles and Betty Carter's version of "Baby It's Cold Outside" is the greatest for me. Just listen to that cool brass!!!!
