25. New Christmas Music
If you are looking for some new Christmas music, here are some of my favorites, that may be new to you. Click on the photos for more info or to purchase on Amazon.
Click here to download and print Christmas songs (words and music). Click the title, then choose your instrument, or just choose “piano” for the regular version.
I love this Christmas songbook, and the kids hymnal has several Christmas Carols in it and also teaches the meanings and origins of the songs and their not-so-common words. Gloria is a fabulous study of Christmas Hymns appropriate for multi-age levels to do, and do together. Click the photos for more info or to purchase on Amazon.
