Title change (Move)

Haruo: Talk:Christmas Hymns moved to Talk:List of Christmas Songs: If this becomes an article in addition to the list involved, it will be thoroughly unwieldy. By specifically naming it a "List" I hope to stave this off.

New page

Some churches make a strong distinction between [[Advent]] Hymns (To be sung during the four weeks or so immediately preceding Christmas), Christmas Hymns (generally limited to the period of [[Christmas Eve|December 24]] - January 5), and [[Epiphany]] Hymns (to be sung on January 6 - the Feast of the Magi - and/or on the first Sunday in January). Some traditions also distinguish carols from hymns, and discourage the singing of the former in church. Many of the "hymns" listed here would be regarded as "carols" in these traditions. Perhaps it would be useful to have abbreviations after each item, such as:
* [A] = "Advent"
* [CC] = "Christmas Carol"
* [E] = "Epiphany"
I'll try this system on your list, and add a few items.--[[User:Haruo|Haruo]] 13:49, 8 August 2007 (MDT)

	Because some of these songs stretch the meaning of "Hymn" beyond its limit, while others are too hymnic to call them carols, I renamed the list "Christmas Songs" to allow it to have the broadest range, from the silliest secular ditty to the most majestic high-church chorale.

Normally, we'd just have categories to make the lists for us (however lists can be useful for compilations, composers, lyrics for tunes, and such), but if people want to make them here in this fashion, I suppose that's fine with me (unconventional though I might think it is). You're free to do whatever you want with it, though, as long as it doesn't violate a policy. [[User:Veramet\|Veramet]] 20:50, 10 August 2007 (MDT)
