We have this, that seems to have most of the 'standards' (but can't seem to find a Christmas album with the very underrated 'Wombling Merry Christmas').
I think we will skip the track by a Mr G Glitter....

My parents used to have the Swingalongs Christmas LP in their K-Tel Record Selector in the early 70s:-
I found a copy of this superb LP in my local British Heart Foundation last year for 50p...
...of course I had to buy it. Kindly I made a 24-48 vinyl rip for my parents (who had binned their original LP years ago).
As a five year old in 1972 - I couldn't stomach the fact that the lad on the sleeve got the official Palitoy Action Man tank...
...whereas my father bought a cheap knock off tank from Leicester market for me.
Nice to see that in those unwoke days the girl gets a dolly...
...while the boy gets a cowboy outfit and the very robot boxing game I craved (but never got).
Of course these days the girl is more likely to receive a replica AK47 assault rifle...
...while the modern gender fluid boy is delighted to get a pink tea set.
The gollywog is a most delightful period touch also!
Back in 1972 there is no way my father would have commited to the huge financial undertaking involved in me receiving two "big" presents:-
"You can have anything you want from the Argos catalogue toy section...
...provided the total value does not exceed £10"
Sadly this of course ruled out such luxury items as the Chuck Norris Tin Can Alley rifle target practice game, Atari console and TCR slot racing set.

I feel much better now, I really do...
My favourite Christmas album is unobtainium...its a gospel cassette but one of the members was a certain Kerry Minnear of Gentle Giant and the songs are definitely Giant-ish as a result....
