Deck the hall 
O come all ye faithful 
Coventry carol 
Hark, the Herald Angels sing 
Mary's boy child 
Good King Wenceslas 
Once in Royal David's city 
The holly and the ivy 
While shepherds watched 
Ding dong merrily on high 
O little town of Bethlehem 
The first Noel 
Rocking 
Angels from the realms of glory 
Away in a manger 
Silent night 
Good Christian men rejoice 
Trumpet voluntary
