    A couple of the better city centre Carol Services have passed by already (Trinity College Chapel, Christ Church Cathedral). St Patrick's Cathedral has a Carol Service tonight, and also two Festivals of Nine Lessons and Carols on the 23rd and 24th. St Mary's Pro-Cathedral has its Carol Service on the 23rd too.

    Christmas carols in English first appear in a 1426 work of John Audelay, a Shropshire priest and poet, who lists twenty five “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.
    The Christmas holiday season wouldn’t be complete without the music. Songs reminding us of love, hope, and peace fill the air and warm the hearts of listeners world-wide. According to ASCAP, The Christmas Song (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping on your nose, yuletide carols being sung by a choir, and folks dressed up like Eskimos...) by Mel Torme and Robert Wells is the most recorded song of all time.
    Other songs like Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, White Christmas, Winter Wonderland, and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas round out the top five of most recorded Holiday songs. Whether it is in the shopping malls, radio stations, in movies, the songs of the season add the finishing touch to most events. Country, Classical, Pop, and Christian artists have tried to reinvent the season once more with new Christmas music.
