Jingle Bells Mary Did You Know? The First Noel O Holy Night Silver Bells White Christmas

The songs that you've sung since you were a child continue to bring Christmas to life each year. Now, you'll learn how your favorite Christmas songs came to be. Stories Behind the Best-Loved Songs of Christmas reveals the surprising and fascinating origins of over thirty of your favorite Christmas songs and carols, both secular and religious. Along the way you will uncover spiritual insights, heartwarming stories, and tales of the humble men and women of the past who wrote what remain the most beloved Christmas songs today. Discover how:

• Iconic artists such as Judy Garland and Nat King Cole were influenced and inspired to record instant classics like Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas • and The Christmas Song • . • God-inspired words given to an unlikely musician became Mary, Did You Know? • One of the oldest Christmas songs still sung today, O Come, O Come, Emmanuel • , changed from a hymn sung in Latin only in Catholic masses to a carol embraced by every Christian denomination in the world.

From the rollicking appeal of Jingle Bells to the tranquil beauty of Silent Night, the great songs of Christmas contain messages of peace, hope, and truth. Each song in its own way expresses a facet of God’s heart and celebrates the birth of his greatest gift to the world—Jesus. These stories will warm your heart and bring extra significance to the carols you sing each December.
