Elton John's Christmas Party

Brace yourself. This really is a lot better than this album looks like it would be. There's a fair number of originals and the few traditional tunes were treated creatively enough to be interesting. I know it's hard to get past the cover, but if you want to/have to listen to Christmas music, this is one worth trying.
