I know, I'm a bit crazy now, but let's go for it.
I'm open for suggestions. I would like to be very much ahead of the game this year to simplify for everyone. In reality we only have a bit over 5 months if we want to have it ready in the beginning of December. 😁
This is what we had in the past:
2011 What Child is This and Carol of the Bells
2012 God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
2013 Silent Night
2014 We Wish You a Merry Christmas
2015 Happy Christmas - War Is Over
2016 Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
2017 O Holy Night
2018 I'll Be Home For Christmas
2019 Little Drummer Boy
2020 Let it Snow
2021 White Christmas
2022 Wexford Carol

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year! Love that song and so many memories of it when we had all those Christmas Specials on TV when they actually had a holiday theme throughout the show. Andy Williams, Perry Como.

@Fiddlerman -
Appreciate you are doing this early, but it would make me very happy if YOU would choose what YOU would enjoy arranging the most! 😎
...would be exciting to do a traditional carol in an untraditional style.

@Fiddlerman I saw this heading and 1st thought, "Wait, Christmas in July?" 
I vote for a musical montage! Of like 3 or 4 tunes! Stuff from tunes of different types brought together.
. . . tempting, right? 
I'm good for anything. . . well, maybe not Last Christmas. . . not crazy about Wham. . .but if you put it in a Montage with some other things, I'll play it wholeheartedly

So glad I popped in here today and found this! Thank you, Fiddlerman!
(Clarification, cause I’m old… All I Want for Christmas… if that’s Alvin and the Chipmunks wanting their Two Front Teeth, noooo. 🤣 If that’s Mariah Carey wanting You, then I like it.)
My selections from the list are:
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
All I Want for Christmas (Is You)
Do You Hear What I Hear
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Agreed, that sounds like fun.

I know, but I'm always doing the same thing to myself. When I am at the busiest time of the year, I'm getting into this. Would be a relief to actually start early.

Sure, it's both tempting and fun, but I'm kind of lazy. Yes, I can do it quickly enough, but I still have to sit down in front of the computer on Finale and piece something together.

Wait, that's a very cool piece. LOL

I'm glad yo popped in. And I'm old too.
Good point about Alvin and the ...."Two Front Teeth". That was what was in my mind as well but I too prefer Mariah Carey's version.

While looking forward to the 2023 Christmas project, I’m revisiting and practicing the last several projects: Let It Snow, White Christmas, and Wexford Carol. @Fiddlerman created such lovely arrangements of these pieces. Can’t wait for the 2023 selection!
Just thought I’d share and give this thread a bump so that others who have yet to notice it may take note.

Great to see this thread up now. Typically takes me a few months to learn a new tune. 😬

I love both of those choices.
I might just shoot for one of those.
Opinions please???

I still prefer, "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year", but if it is between these two, either one, no preference. I think that "Joy to the World" parts would be more in my reach, though, but pushing it isn't a bad thing to do.

If it’s down to just those two selections, I’d prefer
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
Thank you! 😊🎄🎶
