NO, but it forms the central idea in at least three Christmas carols. it is alluded to in Mary"s Boy Child, and is dominant in ( The First Noel) and ( We three Kings) as the guiding star of both the Shepherds and the Wise Men.

It is not known who originated The First Noel; it was first written down in the William Sandy and Davies Gilbert book: "Gilbert and Sandys Christmas Carols" published in 1933; but was not written by either Sandy or Gilbert. It is believed to be a folk carol of much earlier origin.
Carols were first sung in Europe, thousands of years ago, but they weren't Christmas carols, they were pagan songs sung at the winter solstice celebrations whilst people danced round stone circles.
The New Oxford Book of Carols was first published in 1992. It is a compilation of traditional Christmas carols, featuring historical notes and musical arrangements.

Carols by Candlelight started in Australia. It has been a popular Christmas tradition since 1938, when the first Carols by Candlelight was hosted in Melbourne on Christmas Eve. Radio veteran Norman Banks was walking home one night after a late evening shift when he was inspired by the sight of a woman in a window, her face lit by a candle as she sang along with Away in a Manger on the radio.
Carols by Candlelight has long been a favourite Christmas tradition in Australia. The idea came from radio DJ Norman Banks, who was inspired, as he walked home after a late night shift, by the sight of a woman in a window, her face lit by a candle as she sang along with Away in a Manger on the radio. The city of Melbourne hosted the first Carols by Candlelight on Christmas Eve in 1938.
Caroling has its origins in medieval Europe, where groups of singers would go door-to-door singing songs to spread holiday cheer. The practice evolved over time and became a popular tradition during the Christmas season.
