Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Christmas Songs and Christmas Carols

Every year, sometime around the end of summer, it seems, you start hearing the very familiar songs of Christmas.

Learn more about Christmas carols and Christmas music and the origin of these songs on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Twice a year, the sun reaches an extreme point in the sky. It is the day with the least amount of sunlight or the most amount of sunlight, depending on where in the world you happen to be.
