Christmas! Help?

viperon3 · 11-19-2009, 09:37 PM

Hello. I am new here, and would love to first say "Hi". So...Hi. Anyway, I have a concert I am playing for a church fundraiser and am in need of Christian Christmas song titles. I have found two which I love. "Mary, did you know?" and "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem". If you could give suggestions as to songs that I could sing (and play on acoustic guitar, or very simply piano) that are more contemporary than older hymns, I would be much obliged. And, I picked the "Indie and Alternative" forum because I would love to play ANYTHING different than the traditional hymns. XP So please; suggest away. =)

I'd go with "Good King Wenceslas", tis well known carol, but I don't hear it much these days.

Go browse through Sufjan Steven's Christmas album. I'm sure you'll find some gems and some new interpretations of Christmas songs.

Play hallelujah, works for any occasion (my favorite is the jeff buckley version, don't hate rufus fans!)
