Default What Christmas tunes (instrumentals) are you working on?

I'm looking for ideas.

I'm doing this so far:

O Holy Night (Doug Young) (dadgad)

O Come, O Come. Emmanuel (Mark Hanson, Yuletide Guitar - standard)

In The Bleak Midwinter (Mark Hanson, Yuletide Guitar - dropped D)

I have Hanson's other Christmas book as well, but I haven't looked at it yet for ideas.

Probably my number two favorite acoustic piece of all is this one I am working on (very laboriously and slowly - it's difficult)





And this one from AGF-er Chris Crouch

"O Come Emmanuel", coupled with "What Child is This?". On Emmanuel, I use lots of harmonics. Em lends itself well to this, as does the contemplative nature of the song.

I may learn "Breaking Up Christmas" for a coming gig with a fiddler. There aren't a lot of instrumental fiddle tunes that have to do with Christmas (or any other holiday).
