Title: Absolutely worth it!
Review: This is one of my favorite Christmas arrangement books. It's got a great variety of secular/sacred, and if you're a church pianist many of them are the perfect length for a prelude or postlude. It is more of an intermediate/advanced book, but there are some arrangements that are much easier than others, so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to an intermediate skill level player. Great for performances- can be simplified or even embellished. Also fun to play through at home just for enjoyment.

Title: Good advanced/professional arrangements
Review: Excellent choice to bulk-up the seasonal performances without making your own arrangements. Good for holiday shows, background gigs at parties and gatherings, interludes for school performances, &c.

Title: Excellent and Beautiful Arrangements
Review: I have purchased many Christmas books to find one that has arrangements that are beautifully sounding yet reasonablyeasy for the intermediate to early advanced player. This is my go-to book! I have finally found the best Christmas book with great song selections that most people want to hear. Some of the arrangements are fairly simple yet sound great, but others will take considerable time to master but well worth the effort. Only drawback is the absence of lyrics to refer to when playing the songs.I highly recommend this book!

Title: A solid go-to Christmas anthology
Review: This book is a great anthology to bring along to a party or play through at home during the Christmas season. I love that it is easy enough for an advanced player to sight-read because usually during the Christmas season (unless you're playing a recital) you're going to play a good handful of pieces and not just one or two. These aren't overly complicated showstopper arrangements, which is nice because although you might want to polish a few frilly arrangements during the season, you probably don't want to spend all your time piecing together very technical or difficult pieces. This book is great to pull out for playing through a whole lot of Christmas favorites! I was hesitant to buy this book because I had read a review that some of the arrangements were 'funky' but I did not run across this at all. From what I have played through, they are all straightforward and accurate. Many songs are written with only one verse, but it's obviously very easy to go back and play as many verses as you'd like. Pretty arrangement, not too simple and great for singing along if you already know the words!

Title: Not professional level
Review: Some of the arrangements are nice but most are pretty boring. Nice selection of songs but definitely not advanced or professional level.

Review: Estas canciones están en un nivel intermedio a intermedio avanzado. Un pianista avanzado como mi esposa puede leerlas a primera vista y aprenderlas rápidamente. Los arreglos no están a un nivel profesional, pero aun así son muy buenos.

Review: I play at a grade 9 RCM level and I find these arrangements to be at a good level of difficulty (as in I can start practicing at the beginning of december and have a few pieces ready by Christmas). There is a good mix of modern/traditional songs and some of the arrangments are quite beautiful.

Review: Veramente un bel libro!Gli arrangiamenti sono molto particolari, e spaziano dal jazz a quelli più classici adatti (anche) alla liturgia. Sicuramente un ottimo libro da tenere sempre a casa, ideale per feste con amici suonando qualche pezzo natalizio.Le partiture sono scritte molto bene, agevoli da leggere e chi è più professionista può benissimo arricchire gli arrangiamenti con qualche variazione.Libro comunque adatto anche a pianisti meno avanzati, direi per un quinto anno di conservatorio (intermedio).
