Not all songs that we sing at Christmas time are
carols. Most songs sung in church or by church
choirs are actually hymns. Centuries ago, a carol
was a group dance accompanied by
a joyful song. Gradually it came to
mean the song itself. A carol became a
happy melody that anyone could sing. Caroling
still means singing songs of joy but more
than that it means singing the beautiful songs
about the most joyous news that men have ever
heard.
