"Last Christmas" - Wham!
"Winter Wonderland" - Eurythmics
"Wonderful Christmastime" - Paul McCartney
"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" - The Pretenders
"Santa Baby" - Madonna
"Christmas Wrapping" - The Waitresses
"Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" - Bruce Springsteen
"Merry Christmas Darling" - The Carpenters

I like your selection (although I loathe Merry Christmas Darling!)

O Holy Night - Josh Groban (though I can't stand him). Celine's version is great too.
Carol of the Bells - John Williams
Ave Maria - Jewel
