If you need a break from the traditional Christmas style, then James Brown's Funky Christmas is for you. But this award goes to one track that stands out from all the rest:"Santa Clause, Go Straight To The Ghetto"
Find it, buy it, download it. It puts smiles on faces. Just look at this album cover! ------>
Following in a close second is Louis Armstrong's:
'Zat You Santa Clause?
From the album "Verve Presents: Very Best of Christmas Jazz".
This is another great album. Not just a good Christmas album... but really a good jazz album. But be warned: Some may find a few songs on here a little too jazzy and not 'Christmasy' enough.
Don't miss part one below... and feel free to add your own award winners in the comments section!

I didn't get a chance to listen to any funky Christmas--but I'm sure it is--well--funky.
Love to your precious wife--
Al right, I'll add mine. Maybe not funky, maybe tacky, but I like them:
Burl Ives-Have a Holly Jolly Christmas, Any "Music Box Christmas",
and my new favorite that I bought after Christmas and keep playing is "A Charlie Brown Christmas" by Vince Guaraldi!
