"What Child Is This" / "Greensleeves" works fine for a waltz and can
be
substituted for, eg, "Spanish Waltz".
"Jingle Bells" is fine for a contra or a polka (and Gayle Ticknor wrote an
"English" dance to it).
"Winter Solstice" is Wendy Crouch's five-couple square English dance, not
really ONS-appropriate.
John Garden has a large book of Christmas-carol themed dances, not all really
recognizable as country dances.

Hi folks,
I have 4 gigs coming up this month, 1 of which is a
ONS. I'll look in archives as well, but I'm curious if folks can recommend any
good dances or tunes in an Xmas, Hannukah, Solstice, or Kwanza theme I can use. I
already have a few gimmicks, but always looking
for more.
Thanx, Ric Goldman
