All Hail to the Days (Drive the Cold Winter Away): "All Hail to the Days", also known as “Drive the Cold Winter Away”, "In Praise of Christmas”, and “The Praise of Christmas”, is an English Christmas carol of Elizabethan origins.  The carol first appeared as a broadside in circa 1625, though its origins are unclear; Thomas Durfrey is sometimes erroneously identified as the lyricist.  Though obscure, the carol has featured in numerous hymnals over the centuries.  It is traditionally sung to the tune “When Phoebus did rest”, under which it is printed in the Pepys and Roxburgh collections and Playford’s "The English Dancing Master".

Ding Dong Merrily on High: "Ding Dong Merrily on High" is a Christmas carol.  The tune first appeared as a secular dance tune known under the title "Branle de l'Official" in "Orchésographie", a dance book written by Jehan Tabourot (1519–1593).  The lyrics are from English composer George Ratcliffe Woodward (1848–1934), and the carol was first published in 1924 in his "The Cambridge Carol-Book: Being Fifty-two Songs for Christmas, Easter, And Other Seasons".  Woodward took an interest in church bell ringing, which no doubt aided him in writing it.  Woodward was the author of several carol books, including "Songs of Syon" and "The Cowley Carol Book".  The macaronic style is characteristic of Woodward’s delight in archaic poetry.  Charles Wood harmonised the tune when it was published with Woodward's text in "The Cambridge Carol Book".  More recently, Sir David Willcocks made an arrangement for the second book of "Carols for Choirs".

We Three Kings: "We Three Kings", also known as "We Three Kings of Orient Are" or "The Quest of the Magi", is a Christmas carol that was written by John Henry Hopkins, Jr. in 1857.

Many versions of this song have been composed and it remains a popular Christmas carol.

God Is Born: "Bóg się rodzi" (English: "God Is Born" , ] ) is a Polish Christmas carol (Polish: "kolęda" ), with lyrics written by Franciszek Karpiński in 1792.  Its stately melody (the composer has not been established) is traditionally known to be a coronation polonaise for Polish Kings dating back as far as during the reign of Stefan Batory in the 16th century.  The carol is regarded by some as the National Christmas hymn of Poland, and, for a short time, it was also considered a national anthem, for instance by poet Jan Lechoń.  It has also been called "One of the most beloved Polish Christmas carols".
