But in the Renaissance the situation in society has changed, and the Christmas carols have become more fun. All the songs and hymns that adults and children sing on the birthday of Christ have a common name - "carols", which originated from the French word translated as "dance to the bells of the bells".
Songs for Christmas and now oftenaccompanied by music, in which the bells of the bells are audible, because long since this holiday the church was beaten with bells, and people decorated their carriages and the doors of the houses with small bells. As for the authors of Christmas hymns, they were well-known clergymen and priests, and ordinary people; for example, the author of one of the most famous anthems of "Jingle Bells" in the world is the American James Lord Pierpont - not a very successful businessman who was not very religious, but he played perfectly on the organ and wrote verses and songs in his free time.

Christmas is a time of hope and Love is a triumph,Pretty. They say it will be snowy January, Come to us for Christmas. The Christmas trees are frozen in the corner at the corner, Sleep like birds in a cage, They can not be disassembled. I called to tell you that I love, But what can I say for three thousand versts and seven minutes ... Our boy is still an eagle and a hero
In the first half of the triple one on one, And on singing -5, he also sings! Well, who is he? Christmas is a time of hope and love, a triumph, Intent. They say it will be snowy January, Come to us for Christmas. Blindfolded windows are blown away by my blizzard, The snow pile is spinning, and life has twisted us. Looks cold enemy on me bed Like a laugh, bitch, even though it does not go to bed. Without you, everything is wrong, everything is empty, all in vain, As if holding me on the ground of anchors Bring me the spring in the middle of Christmas, In the middle of December. Christmas is a time of hope and Love is a triumph, Nothing ... They say it will be snowy January, Come to us for Christmas.
