25 Days of Carols: An intro

So Blogtober fizzled out and November was pretty much a ghost town when it came to writing here. But have no fear. The Christmas season is upon us, and I've got a great idea to get me blogging through the holidays: every day starting tomorrow and going through Christmas Day proper, I'll be posting a video of a beloved Christmas carol, along with the carol's history.

Let me be clear on one point. I will only be posting Christmas carols. As in, the kind of Christmas songs one would sing in a church setting. No "Jingle Bells." No Rudolph or Frosty. And definitely no "Santa Baby."

The Christmas season is when I celebrate the birth of my personal Savior, Jesus Christ. His life, death, and resurrection are the most important things to have ever happened in human history. And for me, posting something like "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" would be making those most important things cheap and laughable. And I will not do that.
