There's a lot of Christmas music out there, and most of it's terrible. Most of it's so bad it could turn the cheeriest elf into the most curmudgeonly of scrooges. Heck, most of it's so bad it could send Santa on a killing spree.
There are, however, some gems amid the coal dust, and we have bravely trudged down the deep, dark mineshaft of holiday music to bring you back a little something of value.
We present you with a handful of Christmas cheer, a bushel of tunes that not only won't make you gag but might even make your tiny Grinch-sized heart grow a size or two.
