ca. 1966 Kenny Burrell "Have Yourself a Soulful Little Christmas"
Before I am inundated with candy cane religiosity and Mariah Carey Santa-Boobs, I will listen to what I consider to be fine seasonal albums.

ca. 1983 Steve Hackett "Bay of Kings"
Acoustic album of old and new.
Beautiful, if not essential. At times sounds as if recorded in the showers of a YMCA, but still lovely.
I can't listen to "Horizons" without hearing "walking across the sitting room" in my head after it ends.
