Every year in December, you can expect to hear the same classic Christmas songs that cue you into the beginning of the holiday season. Whether it's the 13 opening notes of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" or the melodic melodies of Christmas classics like "Silent Night" or "White Christmas", it seems that the same songs have been around... well forever. Today we dive into the LONG history of Christmas carols, starting with the early 14th century, up to the 90's Mariah Carey hit, and also discuss WHY Christmas music is well... old, and the chart toppers in December never seem to make it anywhere near the top 100 any other time of the year.
