Holiday Themed Dances that I used at the Ashford Contra last Sunday were Star
of Bethlehem (Bob Isaacs),
A Contra Carol (Joseph Pimentel) and Heavenly Bodies (Al Green) but there
are many others with appropriate titles but not necessary an interesting
content. You might consider Dancing the Winter Away Jim Kitch, Deck the
Hall (Don Flaherty) or Joy to the World (Don Flaherty)
