Officially, that should be "Come, O Come Emmanuel", which is an Advent
Song, not a Christmas Song. Also, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring isn't
really a Christmas song either.
More to the point, I disagree with the result of #25. I've never heard
of"Caroling, Caroling" - but "Coventry Carol" is probably much more famous.
I was also disappointed that one of my very favorite Carols wasn't
included, especially since it isn't an easy one:
33. BATJI
Some other good ones:
34. AIAM (Nothing to do with AOL.)
35. OIRDC
36. CIC
37. HTHAS
38. AWHHOH (Ho, Ho Ho!!!!!)
39. AFTRG
40. TFN
41. E (Very popular among Catholics thanks in large part to the iconic
"Glory and Praise Hymnal)
42. GRYMG
43. COTB
44. WCIT
45. ISTS
46. CTIH
47. DYHWIH (Probably the easiest one as many of you have probably even seen
this abbreviation before. :)
48. DNP
49. MKTHCS
50. THC (No, not a drug, and not by Handel either.)
And finally, as a bonus, one of my very, very, favorite Carols:
51. AMN (Hint: Non-English Carol)
A double bonus, another song that isn't quite a Carol, but is certainly one
of the oldest Christmas songs:
52. OMM
Lastly, a triple bonus, a Christmas Carol that is most popular in a culture
other than the culture of most Brin-L list members:
53. SGBTJ (Nothing to do with Meyers-Briggs. :)
