Welcome to the 21st century, Christmas carols

Every year, the same old Christmas carols infiltrate the airwaves and instead of letting us enjoy the holidays, they make us wish Christmas was over sooner. It’s time to crush the carol-bashing attitudes by introducing some Christmas albums that actually appeal to those who hate the soft-rock radio stations. If you feel like you’re missing some Christmas spirit, but can’t stand the thought of Burl Ives telling you what kind of Christmas to have, then this list is for you.
