One of the sweetest Christmas carols, loved by people of all generations, is "Away in a Manger". The lyrics are simple, yet profound, and the melody is both sweet and stirring. Here's a heartwarming performance by Abrielle.

Like many other Christmas songs, originally “Let it snow!” was not related to Christmas. It was the winter theme and its lyrics about waiting for the snow that made it become associated with the holidays, being one of the most played Christmas songs.
Here's Valencia and her teacher in this beautiful piano duet rendition.

"Deck the Halls" celebrates the joys of decorating a space for the Christmas season. Here's Toni with a compelling performance.
