All Hail to the Days (Drive the Cold Winter Away)
"All Hail to the Days", also known as “Drive the Cold Winter Away”, "In Praise of Christmas”, and “The Praise of Christmas”, is an English Christmas carol of Elizabethan origins.
 The carol first appeared as a broadside in circa 1625, though its origins are unclear; Thomas Durfrey is sometimes erroneously identified as the lyricist.
 Though obscure, the carol has featured in numerous hymnals over the centuries.
 It is traditionally sung to the tune “When Phoebus did rest”, under which it is printed in the Pepys and Roxburgh collections and Playford’s "The English Dancing Master". Ding Dong Merrily on High
"Ding Dong Merrily on High" is a Christmas carol.
 The tune first appeared as a secular dance tune known under the title "Branle de l'Official" in "Orchésographie", a dance book written by Jehan Tabourot (1519–1593).
 The lyrics are from English composer George Ratcliffe Woodward (1848–1934), and the carol was first published in 1924 in his "The Cambridge Carol-Book: Being Fifty-two Songs for Christmas, Easter, And Other Seasons".
 Woodward took an interest in church bell ringing, which no doubt aided him in writing it.
 Woodward was the author of several carol books, including "Songs of Syon" and "The Cowley Carol Book".
 The macaronic style is characteristic of Woodward’s delight in archaic poetry.
 Charles Wood harmonised the tune when it was published with Woodward's text in "The Cambridge Carol Book".
 More recently, Sir David Willcocks made an arrangement for the second book of "Carols for Choirs". We Three Kings
"We Three Kings", also known as "We Three Kings of Orient Are" or "The Quest of the Magi", is a Christmas carol that was written by John Henry Hopkins, Jr. in 1857.
 At the time of composing the carol, Hopkins served as the rector of Christ Episcopal Church in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and he wrote the carol for a Christmas pageant in New York City.
 Many versions of this song have been composed and it remains a popular Christmas carol. God Is Born
"Bóg się rodzi" (English: "God Is Born" , ] ) is a Polish Christmas carol (Polish: "kolęda" ), with lyrics written by Franciszek Karpiński in 1792.
 Its stately melody (the composer has not been established) is traditionally known to be a coronation polonaise for Polish Kings dating back as far as during the reign of Stefan Batory in the 16th century.
 The carol is regarded by some as the National Christmas hymn of Poland, and, for a short time, it was also considered a national anthem, for instance by poet Jan Lechoń.
 It has also been called "One of the most beloved Polish Christmas carols". A Carol for Another Christmas
A Carol for Another Christmas (also known as Carol for Another Christmas) is a 1964 American television film, scripted by Rod Serling as a modernization of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" and a plea for global cooperation.
 It was the first in a planned series of television specials developed to promote the United Nations and educate viewers about its mission.
 Originally televised on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) network on December 28, 1964, it was not shown again for 48 years, until Turner Classic Movies (TCM) broadcast it on December 16, 2012. The Secret Theatre
The Secret Theatre is an Off-Off-Broadway theatre that was established in The Long Island City Art Center in July 2007 by Actor/Director Richard Mazda.
 It can seat slightly under fifty audience members.
 The theatre is making a well-earned reputation as a home for The Queens Players and also through its 'repertory' style policy of mounting an average of over 9 mainstage productions in a year.
 The inaugural production featured an original work by Joel Schatzky which starred Bill Krakauer father of noted Klezmer musician David Krakauer.
 Bill is an 80-year-old psychotherapist turned actor who took on the challenging lead role of a conductor who escaped persecution by the Nazis by emigrating to America to pursue a musical career.
 Subsequent productions in The Secret Theatre's first season included 'Theatre of Horror', a mainstage production featuring original plays from the Grand Guignol, A Christmas Carol, Lysistrata and Edward II by Christopher Marlowe. Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come
The Ghost of Christmas Yet-to-Come, also known as The Ghost of Christmas Future, sometimes The Spirit of Christmas Future or The Spirit of Christmas Yet-to-Come, is a fictional character in English novelist Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol".
 It is the third and final spirit to visit the miser Ebenezer Scrooge on Christmas Eve.
 The spirit closely resembles the Grim Reaper. William Thomas Lewis

–1811), known as "Gentleman" Lewis, due to his refined acting style, was an English actor.
