Most Popular Christmas Carols

 

Just in time for the holidays, I offer the following list of popular holiday carols.  I pulled this together because I was trying to identify songs suitable for caroling, then decided to post it in case it may help others do the same. Note that there are actually two lists: one of what you might call "traditional" carols, the other of novelty holiday songs.
