Christmas is a very special time of year for Christians and especially for Christians living in Christian countries. A substantial part of the ambiance at Christmas is created by Christmas music. Christmas music needs traditionally consisted mainly of carols and hymns, but some pop songs have become definite favourites in the repertoire of music for Christmas.
