Christmastime.

One of the most cheery and beloved holidays for both Christians and non-Christians worldwide.

It’s only September, but as I’m sure we can all agree, it’s never too early to start longing for Christmastime and the holiday seasons.

Whether you are baking cookies, gift shopping, spending time with family or enjoying hot cocoa, these Christmas carols for the piano will add to your festivities any day of the week.

Music is a necessity for any special occasion after all!

An all time favourite.

Let good ol’ Rudolph light the way for your music endeavours this season.

A good tune for winding down or before bed-time.

4. Jingle Bells – James Pierpont

5. It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas – Meredith Willson

6. Hark the Herald Angels Sing – Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn

7. Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree – Johnny Marks

A jazzy twist on classic holiday jingles.

This is basically what we are all chanting by the time winter rolls around!

Hi Grace, most of these are probably too hard for me to learn in just a couple months. Lots of notes! Tho’ I’m not referring to Silent Night, of course. Appreciate Artiden, keep up the good work!
