Introduction: When one finds oneself in the situation of playing a jazz gig near Christmas, it is quite nice to have in one’s possession a fake book of Christmas songs with jazz changes. As there are so many Christmas songs in the public domain, it would be great if such a book could be free. That is the intent of this book - provide lead sheets for Christmas gigs with basic jazz changes. This version is the third revised edition after substantially changing the chord progressions to make these songs easily readable. Additional editing was done by Gannon Phillips. These are songs that are public domain and not under any copyright restrictions. This means you can record and perform these songs freely. These lead sheets can also be distributed to others legally. When possible, please link back to FreeMusicEd.org. I do ask that you do not sell these lead sheets and that you leave the “FreeMusicEd.org” mark at the bottom. If you would like to purchase a printed copy of this book and help support future publications visit www.gigbooks.freemusiced.org for more information. Enjoy and Merry Christmas,Stephen Cox
