Every December, familiar melodies fill sanctuaries, living rooms, and candlelit doorways — carols that generations have known by heart before they could read the words. From the hushed wonder of a silent, holy night to the ringing triumph of angels proclaiming glory in the highest, each song carries its own small world of starlight and manger straw.
