Simply Christmas

The book is different than most Christmas books in that it is all in DAd with or without a capo. There's neat Family Christmas Memories Worsheet in the back to help families collect and organize their Christmas's Past.

Simply Christmas has over 30 traditional holiday songs. Some of the songs are well known. Some are more obscure. All are printed in large bold type to make reading easier. The book is spiral bound so that it lies flat when being used.

Maureen has other books of dulcimer tablature that make great Christmas gifts as well: "Simply Remembered", "Simply Gospel One", "Simply Gospel Two", Simply Gospel Three", "Songs of the Civil War", "The Fretboard Companion Book", "My Teaching Book for Appalachian Dulcimer Volume One", and "My Teaching Book for Appalachian Dulcimer Volume Two" as well as four different chord charts. Please see her website for information on them.
