Anyone enjoying some good Christmas tunes with their Altecs?

I watched a Christmas Story on them last night and Christmas Vacation the night before. Also heard some TSO the other day on the radio...they sound real nice.

Charlie Brown Christmas on the M19's sounds quiteawesome as well as nostalgic. It's about the only thing that says Christmas to me anymore.

I listen to the Chritmas tunes on Pandora this time of year. Lot's of good stuff. Once heard George Shearing playing God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen and Take Five at the same time. That's a trip!

I use Pandora on my iPhone,it's a nice service.But at home I'm using Rhapsody now that my Napster account merged with them Dec.1.I just download the songs I would like to hear to my library and then sync with my MP3 player then I can listen to them through the Altecs.

Altecs ought to reveal how crappy MP3 really sounds.

Oh it does ! It's just for Christmas

I got some mp3's that sound wonderful...hating to admit saying that, but it's true.
I like "Skating" off the Charlie Brown Xmas- Vince Guaraldi album.
It just reminds me of getting ready for Christmas...
I've got an old vinyl album of Peggy Lee singing xmas songs back in the 50s. I like that one too!

...oh I got a subscription to Spotify that has replaced my fascination with Pandora.
There's even a web app that'll simulate Pandora
