Since I live so far away (Texas), can you share "Star of Bethlehem" and "A
Contra Carol"? Thank you.

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)

It depends on what you consider to be a holiday theme. Here are
some dances I included in my program at our local contra dance last
Friday.
What we are all trying to do at this time of year -
Losing Weight by Michael Barraclough
For New Years Eve -
Champaign Cocktail by Jonathan Sivier
For the Gay Gordon's figure -
Glen Echo Promenade by Bob Dalsemer
For Christmas shopping -
Scrod Pudding's Trip to the Mall by Bill Olson
Snow Dance by Gene Hubert
Christmas is on Monday -
Monday by Jim Hemphill
And what we are looking forward to after winter -
American Spring by Glen Nickerson
Summer Sunshine by Paul Balliet
I also had some Star themed dances such as Star of Joy by Kate
Chaitin in reserve.
