This year, I've discovered that playing guitar is great therapy, post carpal tunnel surgery, so I intend to spend some serious time with it.

Same here. I’ve had it for several years and pull it out every Christmas. It’s a wonderful book, as is the accompanying album.

+1, when I told myself a couple of weeks ago I should get a couple of Christmas songs going, Doug’s Christmas songbook was the first I reached for. Great material to work with.

I had his standard tuning one which is decent but relatively simple (which is the stated intent - I'm not complaining) . Just got the DADGAD one off the back of this recommendation and I'm delighted with the mix. Great song choices, lovely arrangements, and a good spread of difficulty for whatever the mood. Thanks!

I couldn't agree more.
I got it this time last year, and found it all beyond me. I pulled it out again in September, hoping to get something more going on and have been happily surprised to get through decent versions of Oh Holy Night and the more intricate take on Angels We have Heard on aHigh. Granted two of the more accessible tabs but I'm very happy to be able to wheel them out in a couple of gigs/sessions I have lined up this month.
