Christmas carols for piano
Carols and winter favourites, from Silent Night, Away in a Manger and Joy to the World to O Holy Night and the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Almost all of them have an easy version, and carols are short, so a few weeks of practice is enough to play one for the family. Start in early December, not on Christmas Eve.
