I usually try to make these Christmas songs easy to play (but still sound full and interesting) so they can be learned by Christmas. I have also included an MP3 of me playing it that you may download.
The story of the creation of the Christmas song Silent Night has been passed down from generation to generation. Though scholars find no solid evidence for some details of the narrative, it is a fascinating account.

It was December of 1818, during a particularly cold winter in the Austrian Alps. Twenty-six-year-old village priest Joseph Mohr was making last-minute preparations for a special Christmas Eve mass at St. Nicholas Church. Everything from music to message was in place. But as he cleaned and readied the sanctuary, he encountered a serious problem: St. Nicholas' organ would not play. A frantic Mohr struggled with the old instrument, but in spite of his efforts, the organ remained silent.
Realizing nothing could be done, he prayed for inspiration. He was suddenly reminded of a Christmas poem he had written two years earlier. Digging Stille Nacht! heilige Nacht! from his desk, Mohr reread the words. The poem was perfect for the Christmas Eve midnight mass, now just hours away.
He hurried through the snow-covered streets to Franz Gruber's drafty apartment over the town schoolhouse. Gruber played the organ at St. Nicholas, and was also a talented composer. The distressed priest explained his dilemma. Showing him the poem, he asked Franz to write a melody with guitar accompaniment for his words—music simple enough that could be learned by the choir that night.

A few hours later, the two friends met at St. Nicholas. There, in the candlelit sanctuary, Gruber shared his new music with Mohr. The priest approved, and after learning the guitar chords, whisked the music off to the choir members, who were waiting for their rehearsal.
Just after midnight, Mohr and Gruber stood in front of the main altar and introduced their song. As they sang, they couldn't have guessed that Silent Night would be remembered not only the next Christmas in their small village, but almost two hundred years later, around the world.
Gruber's simple but beautiful music blended perfectly with the spirit of Mohr's words. And why Joseph Mohr selected a guitar accompaniment for his hymn is not known, but the choice was fortunate. The image of the starry sky, the little church, and the lone guitar is one of enduring humility and quiet beauty.

Sheet Music: Christmas Classics For Guitar Songbook Edition
The Christmas carol, Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella (Un Flambeau, Jeanette, Isabelle in French) tells the story of two milkmaids, Jeanette and Isabella, who went to a stable in Bethlehem to milk the cows only to find the baby Jesus sleeping in the hay. They were so filled with excitement that they took their torches and ran to the village to spread the news of the newborn Christ child. The townspeople came with their own torches to view the sight for themselves. However, they had to keep their voices down so little Jesus could enjoy his dreams. To this day in the Provence region, children dress up as shepherds and milkmaids, carrying torches and candles to church on Christmas Eve while singing the carol.
Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring is from Bach’s Cantata #147. Though not written expressly for performance at Christmas, “Jesu” is now heard at yuletide observances worldwide. Christmas can be a time of celebration, contemplation, and even revelation. As guitarist Rick Foster has written, “Where better can one look for revelations than in the exalted music of Bach?”
Poet and writer Christina Rossetti did not intend her fine poem, In the Bleak Midwinter, to be a hymn or carol. Classical composer Gustav Holst first composed music for the poem in 1906. A second version (also arranged by Douglas Niedt and included in his Play It Like a Pro series), is by English organist Harold Darke, written in 1911.
