Christmas Songs Cover A Variety Of Musical Genres. They Are Normally Performed Or Heard During The Christmas Season. Traditionally This Started On Christmas Eve And Lasted Until January 6 The Feast Of The Three Kings The Original Twelve Days Of Christmas Now However Especially In The U.S. It Tends To Begin Around Thanksgiving And Ends Just After Christmas Day. Music Was An Early Feature Of The Christmas Season And Its Celebrations. The Earliest Chants Litanies And Hymns Were Latin Works Intended For Use During The Church Liturgy Rather Than Popular Songs. The 13th Century Saw The Rise Of The Carol Written In The Vernacular Under The Influence Of Francis Of Assisi. In The Middle Ages The English Combined Circle Dances With Singing And Called Them Carols. Later The Word Carol Came To Mean A Song In Which A Religious Topic Is Treated In A Style That Is Familiar Or Festive. From Italy It Passed To France And Germany And Later To England. Christmas Carols In English First Appear In A 1426 Work Of John Audelay A Shropshire Priest And Poet Who Lists 25 "caroles Of Cristemas" Probably Sung By Groups Of Wassailers Who Went From House To House. Music In Itself Soon Became One Of The Greatest Tributes To Christmas And Christmas Music Includes Some Of The Noblest Compositions Of The Great Musicians. During The Commonwealth Of England Government Under Cromwell The Rump Parliament Prohibited The Practice Of Singing Christmas Carols As Pagan And Sinful. Like Other Customs Associated With Popular Catholic Christianity It Earned The Disapproval Of Protestant Puritans. Famously Cromwell's Interregnum Prohibited All Celebrations Of The Christmas Holiday. This Attempt To Ban The Public Celebration Of Christmas Can Also Be Seen In The Early History Of Father Christmas. The Westminster Assembly Of Divines Established Sunday As The Only Holy Day In The Calendar In 1644. The New Liturgy Produced For The English Church Recognised This In 1645 And So Legally Abolished Christmas. Its Celebration Was Declared An Offence By Parliament In 1647. There Is Some Debate As To The Effectiveness Of This Ban And Whether Or Not It Was Enforced In The Country. Puritans Generally Disapproved Of The Celebration Of Christmas—a Trend Which Continually Resurfaced In Europe And The USA Through The Eighteenth Nineteenth And Twentieth Centuries. When In May 1660 Charles II Restored The Stuarts To The Throne The People Of England Once Again Practiced The Public Singing Of Christmas Carols As Part Of The Revival Of Christmas Customs Sanctioned By The King's Own Celebrations. William Sandys's Christmas Carols Ancient And Modern 1833 Contained The First Appearance In Print Of Many Now-Classic English Carols And Contributed To The Mid-Victorian Revival Of The Holiday. Singing Carols In Church Was Instituted On Christmas Eve 1880 Nine Lessons And Carols In Truro Cathedral Cornwall England Which Is Now Seen In Churches All Over The World. The Tradition Of Singing Christmas Carols In Return For Alms Or Charity Began In England In The Seventeenth Century After The Restoration. Town Musicians Or 'waits' Were Licensed To Collect Money In The Streets In The Weeks Preceding Christmas The Custom Spread Throughout The Population By The Eighteenth And Nineteenth Centuries Up To The Present Day. Also From The Seventeenth Century There Was The English Custom Predominantly Involving Women Of Taking A 'wassail Bowl' Round Their Neighbours To Solicit Gifts Accompanied By Carols. Despite This Long History Almost All Surviving Christmas Carols Date Only From The Nineteenth Century Onwards With The Exception Of Some Traditional Folk Songs Such As "God Rest You Merry Gentlemen" "As I Sat On A Sunny Bank" And "The Holly And The Ivy." Popular Secular Christmas Songs From Mid-19th Century America Include "Jingle Bells" "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" And "Up On The House Top". More Recent Copyrighted Carols About The Nativity Include "I Wonder As I Wander" 1933 "Mary's Boy Child" 1956 "Carol Of The Drum" "Little Drummer Boy" 1941 "Do You Hear What I Hear?" 1962 And "Mary Did You Know?" 1984 "Little Donkey" By Eric Boswell 1959 And The Calypso Carol By Michael Perry 1964 . More Recently Popular Christmas Songs Often Christmas Songs Introduced In Theater Television Film Or Other Entertainment Media Tend To Be Specifically About Christmas Or Have A Wintertime Theme. They Are Typically Not Overtly Religious. The Most Popular Set Of These Titles—heard Over Airwaves On The Internet In Shopping Centres And Lifts Even On The Street During The Christmas Season—have Been Composed And Performed From The 1930s Onward. "Jingle Bells" "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" And "Up On The House Top" However Date From The Mid-19th Century. The Largest Portion Of These Songs In Some Way Describes Or Is Reminiscent Of Christmas Traditions How Western Christian Countries Tend To Celebrate The Holiday I.E. With Caroling Mistletoe Exchanging Of Presents A Christmas Tree Feasting Jingle Bells Etc. Celebratory Or Sentimental And Nostalgic In Tone They Hearken Back To Simpler Times With Memorable Holiday Practices—expressing The Desire Either To Be With Someone Or At Home For Christmas. Many Titles Help Define The Mythical Aspects Of Modern Christmas Celebration Santa Claus Bringing Presents Coming Down The Chimney Being Pulled By Reindeer Etc. New Mythical Characters Are Created Defined And Popularised By These Songs Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer And Frosty The Snowman Were Both Introduced By Gene Autry A Year Apart 1949 And 1950 Respectively . N 1 Though Overtly Religious And Authored At Least Partly By A Writer Of Many Church Hymns No Drumming Child Appears In Any Biblical Account Of The Christian Nativity Scene—this Character Was Introduced To The Tradition By Katherine K. Davis In Her "The Little Drummer Boy" Written In 1941 With A Popular Version Being Released In 1958 . The Winter-Related Songs Celebrate The Climatic Season With All Its Snow Dressing Up For The Cold Sleighing Etc The 24/7 All-Christmas Format Has Been Generally Successful Due In Large Part To Christmas Creep. Many Radio Stations Began Airing An All-Christmas Format By Thanksgiving Starting As Early As The Friday One Week Prior. Several Stations Have Started The Format As Early As November 1. As Of November 21 2011 Three Days Before Thanksgiving There Were Over 150 Commercial U.S. Radio Stations Airing 24/7 Christmas Music. When A Radio Station In The U.S. Makes The Temporary Switch To All-Christmas Music Its Listener Share Regularly Doubles. A Sampling Of Radio Stations That Made The Switch In 2010 With The Change In Market Share. Adult Contemporary Oldies And Country Listeners Tend To Adjust Better To An All-Christmas Switch Than Do Listeners Of Other Formats Such As Hip-Hop Or Hard Rock. However "Nine Times Out Of 10 Many New Listeners Pour In Outweighing The Listeners That Do Opt Out " Says Greg Strassell Senior Vice President Of Programming At CBS Radio. However This May Not Always Transition Well Into Financial Success Since Advertisers Do Not Universally Recognise Arbitron's Holiday Ratings Book. Some Radio Stations Even Those That Do Not Play Full-Time Christmas Music Prior To Christmas Eve Play Christmas Music Commercial-Free The Entire Day On Christmas Day And Often A Portion Of Christmas Eve As Well E.G. KOIT With Only Interruptions For Christmas Messages From Station Personnel And Personnel From The Station's Parent Company. Although The Christmas Season By Definition Runs Until January 6 Epiphany And Is Observed Until At Least New Year's Eve By The Public Almost All Broadcasters Skip The Last Twelve Days Of Christmas Abruptly Ending All Holiday Music At Or Even Before Midnight On December 25 And Not Playing A Single Christmas Song Again Until The Next November. Several Radio Stations Actually Promote This With Ads That Proudly Proclaim To Listeners Weary Of The Christmas Music That The Station's Regular Format Will Indeed Return On December 26 As Soon As Christmas Day Is Over. It Is Not Uncommon For Broadcasters To Market The Twelve-Day Period Preceding Christmas December 14 To 25 As The "Twelve Days Of Christmas" Contrary To The Traditional Definition. One Reason For This Is That Much Popular Christmas Music Is So Closely Associated With Christmas Day Itself That It Would Be Difficult Or Impossible To Play After December 25 Without Bringing Up References That The Broadcaster May Wish To Ignore Such As Those That Involve Santa Claus Who Has Already Come And Gone By Christmas Morning . On Occasion Some Christmas Music Stations Will Continue To Play At Least Some Christmas Music Through The Weekend Following Christmas Or Even Through New Year's Day Particularly When Stunting In Anticipation Of A Format Change See Below But Never Any Later.
