Christmas Swing

If I recall correctly, I picked this out of the bargain bin at Circuit City when I was buying a home stereo in 1999. It is the only Christmas album I own. It's short, with a running time of about 40 minutes, but it's got a nice mix of songs. It's really more loungy jazz than swing, but it's good music. The musicianship is solid, but nothing stellar. There's only one vocal number, so you can listen to it year round and enjoy the tunes, especially since several, like the Nutcracker Overture, don't even have lyrics. I listen to this a few times every December. I don't know that it gets me in the Christmas mood, but I like it anyway. Amazingly, Barnes and Nobles has it.
