as salam 3aleikom,
as you are clearly a music lover of some eclectic taste please accept this offering
from a passing nomad and enjoy it.
Your Christmas list: here are Christmas songs (mostly in Arabic) from the famous Fairouz

Rula Kishek provides a different take on traditional Christmas songs, again singing
in Arabic:
http://www.mp3hat.com/mp3hat/search.php?do=search&col=ar.name&val=christmas
(If you have months to spare you can browse that link, using the search function,
to listen to and download thousands of Arab mp3 files, free.
And if your interest in things Arabically musical has been awakened, you might care
to call into this site where over 500 Arab music videos can be viewed, downloaded
and saved: http://www.videoarab.com/Arabic%20Videos%20Library/
I will make no recommendations, if you are curious you are sure to find something
to please you. As it is a time of year that is important to you, all I would ask is
that you think to pray for the Arab people, especially the children of Iraq and of
Palestine. I will leave you with a link to a song from over twenty years ago, sung
by a little Lebanese girl of 4 years-of-age, she sings in Arabic, French and English
so you will understand the cry of her little heart
