Secret weapon to holiday party success!By Rutherford BeresfordMy annual company Christmas party was coming up and I knew Id be the designated piano player so I hopped onto ; found this Fake Book and had it shipped to me ASAP.

This book has TONS of great Christmas tunes; both old and new; and theyre all in easy-to-see; easy-to-play format so that anyone can be the life of the party and lead everyone in a great holiday sing-along. Id highly recommend picking up a copy of this book to help make this holiday season the best ever!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Oh; yeah; YOU WANT THIS BOOK !!By Barbara S. CappsThis book may start with the iconic favorites; but then gives you so much more. I play for the residents in the private retirement village in which I work. When I brought out the first set of lyric sheets Id made they were amazed. Imagine the fun they had learning; "Gramma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" . Oh; yeah; you want not only THIS book. In fact; if you havent played for awhile or if you play chords better than two staff music; this is an awesome way to get back to EASILY tickling the ivories you may have long ago given up on. I own five of Hal Leonards collection and I not only use them at work; but; hey; I gotta practice at home at first; right? Give yourself a gift. GET EM ALL. But start with Christmas. I would say to the Hal Leonard Co; though; that I wish they would publish them with spiral bindings so they stay open. I always go to FedEx and have the spines cut off and the spiral bindings added for another $5. But its worth it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very Easy to LearnBy Beverly L.
