Christmas is filled with songs, stories as well as rhymes. Christmas without carols, stories, and rhymes can be concluded as a dry Christmas. Christmas needs to be filled with humor, fun and love-filled rhymes. We all are addicted to the songs of, “Jingle Bells” and “We Wish You A Merry Christmas”, rhymes depicting Santa on its sleigh and his reindeer, “Rudolf” pulling the sleigh.
The rhymes, stories, and songs can be termed as the soul that makes Christmas real. Let’s move on to our list and find the best of everything for Christmas. It’s better to put on our Christmas attire and enjoy the festival.
Some of the best-known carols are as follows-
1. Silent Night
By Granz Xaver Gruber (German); 1818
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
2. O Come All Ye Faithful
By John Francis Wade, 1744
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant!
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold him
Born the King of Angels:
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
3. What Child is This?
By William Chatterton Dix (England); 1865
What child is this, who laid to rest,
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The babe, the son of Mary.
