Properly speaking, Christmas CAROLS have a religious bent, such as Silent Night, O Holy Night, Little town of Bethlehem.. there are wholly secular Christmas songs such as White Christmas, the various Santa Claus songs, and well, some that are not even about Christmas but have a wintry themes and are lumped in ( for example Sleigh Ride and Winter Wonderland- neither mentions Christmas in the lyrics! Home for the Holidays may be about Thanksgiving. All of the geographical locations are US, and also Christmas is not implied in the lyrics... still more songs done on the Christmas holiday season than any other Holiday- Impact registered!
All of the many Religious Carols- after all the center of the Chruch- Roma.
There are songs written especially for Christmas. There are also songs that are traditionally associated with Christmas but that are not explicitly for or about Christmas. There are many pieces of religious music that can be used at any season, including Christmas. And there are holiday-related verses that aren't really songs but that may have been set to music. There are songs in all four categories in many languages. And there are new songs being written all the time, sometimes for movies, sometimes for particular local events such as a church pageant, sometimes for commercial production. So there is no way to count how many Christmas songs there are.
Many people's favorite part about the holiday season is the songs. The top 4 Christmas songs of all time are Last Christmas, White Christmas. Happy Xmas (War Is Over), and Fairytale of New York.
Carols are traditional songs associated with Christmas that typically focus on religious themes or the joy and celebration of the holiday season. They are often sung during the Christmas season to spread Christmas cheer and convey messages of peace and goodwill. Carols have become an integral part of the cultural and musical traditions of Christmas around the world.
Let"s look at the facts. Christmas is, for God"s sakes- A religious holiday- the various religious Christmas songs- Silent Night- Adestes Fidelis, O Holy Night, etc are designed for ecclesiastical use and were originally written in Latin based languages ( O Holy Night was originally written in French- it translates too easily into that tongue!) OKay Silent Night was German or Austrian but is religious. the basic religious carols are in effect cosmopolitan and have found their way into the Hymnals. Oddly some artificial Spanish Christmas songs ( Mamacita- Santa Claus)- (Feliz Navidad) are artificial commercial jobs not native Spanish songs.
Singing religious songs is commonly referred to as hymn singing. This practice is often seen in churches, where hymns are sung as part of worship services or religious ceremonies.
Songs of Christmas was created in 1999.
You will usually hear Christmas Carols during Christmas. There are Christian Christmas Carols, such as "Joy to the World", "Silent Night", "Oh Come, All Ye Faithful" and "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing". Then there are traditional or contemporary secular Christmas songs, such as "Jingle Bells", "Frosty the Snowman", "Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer" and "I'm dreaming of a White Christmas". Depending on which country you are in, you might hear Christmas songs unique to that culture. For example, in Australia you might hear Australian renditions such as "Aussie Jingle Bells".
