It was only later that carols begun to be sung in church, and to be specifically associated with Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>Taken from <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Christmas_carol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Christmas_carol<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/ox_mhvwIV2I&nbsp; Festive songs and images courtesy of Youtube.
