Or… Christmas Music without a Christ 😉

Is there a list compiled somewhere of secular music for that time of year when a lot of holidays are celebrated?

I’d be even more interested in piano scores that I can legally download.

There are, but finding exactly what you want takes digging. I have 50 or so discs.

Will Ackerman and Windham Hill have winter collection.  
Charlie Brown is Christmas Jazz

Welcome @tanukrishna . 🙂

Those look like good suggestions.

@lausten Thanks to you too. 😉

Unfortunately I don’t know exactly what I want yet. But I guess that just means there’s lots of new music I get to try out. 😉
