The ABCs of Christmas: C is for Carols

C is for Carols.

At Christmas time, we always sing songs called “carols.” Many of these carols are about Santa, Rudolph, and snowmen.  Others are about the birth of Christ, and they are good reminders of the true meaning of Christmas. Some carols are just for fun, and others can be for worshipping God. Songs like "O Holy Night" and "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" tell about the miracle of Jesus' birth and remind us of the reconciliation He established between God and repentant sinners.

Matthew 21:16 says that children of all ages can praise God, "And Jesus said to them, “Yes; have you never read, “‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise’?”

We can sing the fun carols, and we can sing the worshipful carols, always remembering that without the birth of Jesus, we'd have no reason to sing or celebrate at all!
