I have the little "Paperback Songs" series "Christmas Carols" book from Hal Leonard that I pull out each Christmas to play some song from. I like it for playing around, but since it's a small paperback (the size of a novel), it doesn't really work well for placing it on a music stand. It does have a fairly good selection though as long as you're not hoping to find any of the newer songs. I think all the songs in it are public domain songs or something because they seem to be pretty old.
Which book do you have? Do you like it? Does it have a good selection?

If my memory serves me right, I don't recall ever having a book of Christmas songs then and now. But what I remember is we had a book or pamphlet on Eucharistic songs which my aunt purchased at a local religious gathering then. Included in it were a few Christmas songs, among others.
I used to love borrowing it because I liked singing and memorizing the church songs. However, it seems to have been misplaced or lost due to our transfer a couple of years ago from our old rented house then to our current residence now. Although I still know some of the songs contained there and I could sing some of them without any copy of their lyrics, I prefer to have it not only for myself, but more for our daughter even if she is still too young to know how to read by herself.
Anyway, I do hope that we'll both have peace and happiness this coming Christmas season and prosperity for the coming year ahead, which I believe is the year of the Ox in the Chinese calendar.
