The article celebrates intangible gifts as the true blessings of Christmas, counting smiles, aiding the less fortunate, friendship, faith, health, happiness, and love as the season's brightest treasures. It recalls the traditional palm tree lore with twelve parts symbolizing the apostles.
The Nativity scene inspires serious and popular music during Christmas. Handel’s Messiah and Bach’s Christmas Oratorio anchor the season, with Berlioz L Enfance du Christ and Britten Ceremony of Carols among others. Recent additions include Honegger’s Christmas Cantata and Menotti’s Amahl and the Night Visitors.
This piece traces how Christmas carols evolved from Latin hymns to macaronic songs blending languages. It notes ancient illuminations from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the shift to more complex rhythms and counterpoint in the 15th century, and the idea that carols, though old, remain modern in spirit.
