Just for Fun: Christmas Mandolin contains over 40 classic Christmas songs. Most of the songs in the book feature three arrangements: the melody in notation and TAB, an easy rhythm option with a simple strum pattern and chords, and an intermediate-level rhythm option written in full notation and TAB. The intermediate rhythm option often combines full melody and chords, making it perfect not only for accompanying a singer and but also for solo performances for friends, family, and recitals. There's even a mandolin chord dictionary in the back of the book. Plus, this book correlates to the matching guitar, ukulele, and banjo editions, so you can have family Christmas jams and sing-alongs.TITLE COMPOSERDance of the Sugar Plum Fairy [Op. 71a, #3] Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (composer)The Twelve Days of Christmas Traditional (source)We Three Kings of Orient Are Christmas Traditional (source)God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen Traditional (source)Away in a Manger John R.
