Christmas Song Tab Book, anyone?

I was looking for a guitar tab book for Christmas songs just to sing along with my daughter - anyone know of a good one?  Just looking for simple songs, Jingle Bells and the like.  Nothing too religious.

I don't know about songbooks but there are lots of websites with tabs and chords for Christmas songs.

I like this one because, though it doesn't have a lot of Christmas songs, the ones that it has are very complete, with tabs for both melody and chords, standard music notation, separate videos for melody and chords, and MP3 backing tracks. And the arrangements are both easy and enjoyable.

There's no separate Christmas page but you can type "Christmas" into the search box at the top left of the page.

Here are a few of the better ones:

White Christmas

Jingle Bells

Silver Bells

These links are for the melodies. Near the top right of each page, you'll find a link to the chords. It looks like this:

There are lots of Christmas books on Amazon Nick. Also sites like Dr Uke are really good and free. I just use ultimate-guitar.com

Thanks everyone for some good links.

It was looking through the books on Amazon which prompted the question, really - hardly any have song lists and most have the usual mix of good and bad reviews.

Thanks again

Nick, don't know if you're open to a uke song book rather than guitar tabs, but Jumpin' Jim's books are usually lots of fun:
