Christmas Compilation CD

MrsDrink

Inspired by a post on the Chat thread (but didn't want it to get swamped by the rest of the Christmas chat) what is your favourite Christmas compilation CD?
(I'm holding a Christmas gathering this year for the two sides of our immediate families and would love a CD to run in the background).
Thanks!

There's a new Now Xmas cd out, full of the classic Xmas songs!

Well after I started this thread I wrote a list of all my must have songs, and then searched to see if it'd be cheaper to buy them separately or on an album. To get all of them I'd have had to buy more than one album, so it worked out cheaper to buy them individually.
Here's my list of must haves:

All I want for Christmas Is you
Driving home for Christmas
Fairytale of New York
Have yourself a merry little christmas
I wish it could be Christmas everyday
It’s beginning to look a lot like christmas
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
Jingle Bell Rock
Last Christmas
Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!
Merry Christmas everyone
Rockin Around The Christmas Tree
Santa Baby
White Christmas
Winter Wonderland
Wonderful Christmastime


What are yours?

My favourite Christmas album is this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Best-Christmas-Album-World-Edition/dp/B00004YTXA

I grew up with this and so I bought my own copy as soon as I left home!

Now That's What I Call Christmas is another favourite. It has all the classics on it.

I have a guilty pleasure at christmas on my compilation cd - mud - lonely this christmas!

It reminds me of my dad, who every year when the music video comes on, insists on telling me the lead singer is dead *rolls eyes*
