Titles: Blue Christmas * Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas * I'll Be Home for Christmas * Mele Kalikimaka * Santa Baby * Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town * Sleigh Ride * Up On the Housetop.
"These pieces have a good deal of pedagogical merit. They offer rhythmic challenges, extended legato patterns in both hands, a variety of articulations, and ample opportunity to teach expressive phrasing and legato pedaling."
