Christmas Misic CD's

Morning,

I wondered if anybody could recommend a Christmas Music CD?

What CD's do you listen to whilst wrapping your presents?

I was thinking of getting "Now thats what I call christmas" there seems to be a good mixture on there.

Thank you in advance

    Hi :)

    It's really worth looking at the Amazon Marketplace for CD's as you can get some real bargains and just add £1.26 i think it is postage. Some are just a penny too so you'd pay all of £1.27 each :) (This one looks good for £1.27 but there's only 2 at a penny - a quick search will find similar ones :))

    An even cheaper way is Christmas Radio - I always listen to this one: Click - a good mix and few adverts. Just click on the links on the side (I use the mp3 windows media player one) and it'll stream through your music player. A quick google finds lots more though :)

    ETA: It does stream though so watch your bandwidth usage if you're on a limited package.

    Hope it helps :)

    This is the best Christmas music CD EVER!:j lol.

    I grew up listening to this every Christmas on a copied tape (shows my age). Last year I bought the CD for myself and my Mum. We both love it.
