Christmas or Older Songs To Learn for upcoming show?

My girlfriend, her little sister, and her mom all go to nursing homes and similar places to perform for the older folks. They usually do Andrew's sisters type of music and dance like "Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree" and "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" and the like. Well now thats its Christmas time they've asked me to go along with them and play a few Christmas or older style songs in between their songs! They want me to come up with 3-5 songs here pretty soon that I can perform in a couple weeks. The only thing I've been able to pick out is Paul Gilbert's arrangement of "Fly Me To The Moon", (by the way does anyone have a regular tab for that? all I can find is the guitar pro version and I don't have guitar pro!).

So does anyone have any suggestions for some Christmas songs that I can do solo, and aren't too difficult???

Thank you!!!

See if you can learn the song "First Noel".... Eric Johnson did a rendition that shouldn't be too difficult. It was recorded for the album 'Merry Axemas A Guitar Christmas' in 1997, on the Epic label. Just do the acoustic track.

Satch does a cool version of "Silent Night" on that cd as well.

Check out the powertabs archive. There's versions of just about any Christmas song you can think of.
