I personally love Steve Porter's recording of "Christmas Morning At Clancy's
"

My favourite Christmas records from the 78 era are Cote's set "Carols of the
English Yuletide" and "Jingle Bells Fantasy" by, (I think), Rosario Bourdon.
 I don't say this based on any artistic merit, although I don't have any
problem with them from that perspective, it's just that these were the
records which were around when I was a child and many of the carols in the
set are rarely if ever performed today and the Jingle Bells Fantasy is also
unique.  Now that I'm thinking about Christmas records I had as a child, the
only version of "Cradle Song of the Virgin" I've ever heard is the one by
Dick Haymes, although it was written by Frank Luther so perhaps he also
recorded it.
 
A wonderful Christmas to all who celebrate it and the best of the holidays
to everyone else.
