Recommend some Christmas music?

Here’s what I’m looking for:
– a book of traditional carols
– arranged in simple 3-part or 4-part harmony, like for congregational singing, not fancy arrangements (because that’s what I can handle on the piano)
– guitar tablatures, or at least chord notations
– wire binding so it lies flat on the music stand
– available somewhere accessible, meaning online or someplace like B&N
Recommendations?
Thank you.

Well, you’re right, TM, it is very specific. That’s because I have nearly all those qualifications met in one book or another book but not all in any one book. For instance, for one carol I have guitar tabs in D and piano in F. For another, I have matching arrangements and piano and guitar notation, but it is only two parts—single note left and right hand—and hence too thin. For all of them, the bindings won’t lie flat and the books fall off the piano. (It has a worthless music rack.)
Your link is great for the piano part. Thank you very much. That’d get me by for the arrangements and for the manageable pages, even if not for the wire binding. But I’d have to work out all the chords and write them in by hand because it doesn’t include guitar. The guitar pages include only lyrics and chords but not music.
So for now I’m open to further suggestions, but I can fall back on this if I don’t find everything in one resource.
Silent Night by Sinead O’Connor is angelic, you will never want to hear other version of Silent Night than by her,...you can download it of from iTunes.
The only holiday music I can handle is The Nutcracker.
