In years past I'd always have a stock set list for christmas gatherings.

These years I never attend those type of family/work events. I've forgotten most of the standards I used to play and always think to myself next year I'll learn a few, even if i'm only going to entertain myself.

In Dulci Jubilo, not so difficult, C major for the flute riff:

Yeah Jingle Bells is great. We often do that.

By the time Christmas actually rolls around I've already heard two months of unavoidable Christmas music and adding more to the world is the last thing I want to do

Back when I was a kid, before cable and internet and telephones and sliced bread...
My father wouldn't allow us to listen to Christmas music till thanksgiving day. And even then we were limited to three songs. Then he wouldn't allow it in the house till the 12 of December.

These days christmas music is easily avoidable as it was back then. Heck back then we didn't have fancy tv remotes with mute buttons on them.

When I was little I marched in a parade playing jingle bells along with about 30 other kids with our guitars from music school. I could not hear what I was playing at one point due to laughing. That was about it.

Do you perform Christmas music?
