    This isn't going to be a popular choice, but I always liked the album Christmas with (Ray) Conniff (1959). I know I know...who the fuck?

    But they are arrangements with an incredibly talented choir accompanied by simple drumming (think Johnny Cash) and minimal instruments. I especially love how they used an electric bass instead of an accoustic/standup, giving it a real Burt Kaempfert style sound. You guys probably have no idea who Burt Kaempfert is, so really I'm just digging myself into a deeper hole.

    I'll shut the fuck up now and just post the album.

    Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
    Big like Leann Rimes
    Because I'm all about value
    Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
    You try to match wits
    You try to hold me but I bust through
