Aside from learning to play chords and learning to sing, it seems that doing them together for the first time gives most people fits. Strumming with each word is not necessary.  Start out by strumming a chord with each set of words until you get the feel of it. You can strum a chord for each word if you want. You need to feel the rhythm of the song, much the same as you would tap your foot when you sing a song.  This usually helps most people.  It really is hard to explain.  Some others will come on here and explain better, I am sure.  Anyway, I'm happy for you and your new guitar.  Don't give up.  It takes lots of practice.  Make it fun, not work.  Enjoy it.  It will come.  And welcome to the site.  Check some of the other threads in the forum for this issue.  It comes up often and you are not alone.  Good luck.

Good for you Butch.  Play it a lot.

It appears you like traditional christmas songs.  Nothing wrong with that.  That's what we grow up with.  I do like a lot of the non-traditional ones, such as your list.  I don't know if there are any I dislike.  While I am not a Bieber fan, I did see him on a couple of Christmas shows recently and he appeared to put on quite a show.  I actually enjoyed him.

Well plug in.  I don't seem to have it either.  The mysterious missing plug in.

Another good one, Bass Viking.  I think you are ready for American Idol.

Here is one but the chords are hard. Perhaps you can transpose them.

Good for you Buzzwagon.  Yuo are a man who knows what he wants.  Have fun.

You don't get paid to think anymore.  Soundfs like you needed to move on.  And I'll bet you are happier.

Lots of good stories here, Carmine and good people.  Yes, do share with us stuff about yourself.  What kind of a guitar you have. How long you have been playing.  What kind of music you like.

I like your style.  Way to go.
