History of Christmas Carols
According to Wikipedia: "a Christmas carol (also called a noël, from the French word meaning "Christmas") is a carol (song or hymn) whose lyrics are on the theme of Christmas, and which is traditionally sung on Christmas itself or during the surrounding holiday season."

The first Christmas hymns date back to the 4th century in Rome. In Australia, where of course it is the middle of summer at Christmas, there is a tradition of Carols by Candlelight concerts held outdoors at night in cities and towns across the country, during the weeks leading up to Christmas. First held in Melbourne, "Carols by Candlelight" is held every Christmas Eve in capital cities and many smaller cities and towns around Australia.

Performers at the concerts include opera singers, musical theatre performers and popular music singers. People in the audience hold lit candles and join in singing some of the carols in accompaniment with the celebrities. Such events are held all over Australia, usually arranged by churches, municipal councils, or other community groups.
