    Default Best source for Christmas music for the beginning mandolin player

    I grew up playing piano. At one time I played a bit of guitar. Most recently, I took up the ukulele, so I am no stranger to reading and playing music. However, I now have a mandolin and would like to know the best source for Christmas music for the beginner. I have read up on several books, but reviews can be mixed and misleading. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Roland White's book looked pretty good.
    Emando.com: More than you wanted to know about electric mandolins.

    You can check out a few sample pages here:

    http://www.rolandwhite.com/mandolin_christmas.htm#

    If you buy the book from his website you get a free set of strings!

    There is a free tune book by a Cafe member in this thread:

    I just found Mandolin Christmas by Eric Cutshall at my local library.
    I think, therefore, I pick.

    I agree with Richard J, A Mamdolin Christmas has been very useful to me.
