"What Child Is This" / "Greensleeves" works fine for a waltz and can be substituted for, eg, "Spanish Waltz".
"Jingle Bells" is fine for a contra or a polka (and Gayle Ticknor wrote an "English" dance to it). "Winter Solstice" is Wendy Crouch's five-couple square English dance, not really ONS-appropriate. John Garden has a large book of Christmas-carol themed dances, not all really recognizable as country dances. -- Alan > Hi folks, > I have 4 gigs coming up this month, 1 of which is a ONS.
