If you know a little bit about Christmas music, you'd be surprised how often you get asked about "nice solo piano Christmas music".  The people who ask don't really want New Age, don't want Jazz or Classical, not Gospel or Rock, and certainly not church music.  Something with a fresh arrangement, perhaps.  Nothing flashy, no one famous.  They just want exactly what they asked for--"nice solo piano Christmas music."  Ladies and gentlemen, I give you "Rejoice" by Michael Johann Ames.  Technically, it's a "virtual piano", but I can't tell the difference and I doubt most of your friends will be able to, either.  Ames originally recorded these arrangements in 2002 as a holiday gift to family and friends.  Last year, he did them up fresh, having acquired a more "real" sounding "virtual piano".  Anyway, it's acceptable as New Age, but mostly, I'd describe it as "nice solo piano Christmas music"--the veritable sweet spot of "nice solo piano Christmas music."  It's truly terrific and you can "name your price"--yes, even $0--when you download at Bandcamp.
