6 Fun Facts About Your Favorite Christmas Carols

4. “Do You Hear What I Hear”

This carol has the most unusual of inspirations. This was actually inspired by the Cuban Missile Crisis. Maybe all the uncertainties and the wrong information on both sides make the author write up this song.

5. “O Holy Night”

After the radio was invented and songs were broadcast, this was the second piece of music to ever be broadcast on radio. It happened in the year 1906 and millions tuned in to hear this Christmas carol.

6. “Up on the Housetop”

A really un-christmassy carol, this has some very strange gifts that Santa gives to the kids. Santa gives one of the kids a hammer and tacks. And to top up the surprise, another kid gets a whip.
The more you know about the origins or the details of your Christmas carol, the more fun you will have singing it. You will also be tempted to sing new ones each year.
