Christmas Heritage Resources
The most powerful expression of our heritage is the Christmas season, and it is for this reason it is continually attacked and undermined by our society’s elites, who desire a homogenous generic multi-culti “holiday” soup that profanes Christ’s name while securing additional rents for themselves by stimulating retail avarice.
To counter this, I believe it is of utmost importance to transmit the real heritage of Christmas, the most powerful cultural meme of our Christian and European heritage. I’ve always found it interesting that Christmas carols are all, almost to the song, written in minor keys. There’s a bleak beauty in the music, transporting one instantly to cold winter nights circa 1600 somewhere in Scotland.
Anyway, I found the two following resources to be very helpful. The first is a pdf of many Christmas carol lyrics, which can be easily printed at home for singing with the family:

The second is a site with a cornucopia of Christmas carol-related information, including pdf’s of sheet music now in the public domain:

Am I alone in starting to listen to Christmas music on November 1, and continuing all the way to Epiphany on January 6th?
