Christmas Carols and Preparing for Christmas
Many parishes hold an annual Festival of Lessons and Carols. This is a very nice presentation of carols and Bible readings. With proper selections, Christmas caroling can help us think about the coming of the Christ child.
So sing some Christmas carols during the Advent and Christmas seasons. You can go out caroling with an organized group or just sing a few at a family gathering. Include plenty of songs which focus on Christ.
A few traditional suggestions are listed below. Add your own to the comments at the bottom of this post.
