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 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.--Haruo 13:49, 8 August 2007 (MDT)
