8 excellent holiday albums for under $8

It was November 2007, and I made a major mistake: busting out the holiday tunes prior to the passing of the Thanksgiving holiday and the true start of the Christmas season.  No big deal, right?  Oh, yes it was.  You do not want to get sick of your favorite season songs prior to the boom following the fourth Thursday in November.  Believe me.

So, this post is altogether appropriate as we’re all full from our Turkey Day deliciousness and in need of some great music to get in the Christmas spirit.  We thought we’d put together a list of 8 excellent holiday albums which you can download for under 8 bucks each.  We have a holiday tradition of selecting a new album each year to add to our collection.  So, here they are!
