“Go Tell It On The Mountain” is a great gospel song we listened to growing up.
And in our Methodist Church we sing “ChristmasTide,” which is so beautiful and peaceful.

The Sussex Carol ("On Christmas night all Christians sing")
Wie schoen leuchtet der Morgenstern ("How Bright Appears the Morning Star")

I'm sure I'll think of more! We've sung almost all of these at one time or another.

Anything EXCEPT the “rum-pum-pum-pum” song!
I saw three ships come sailing in..
God Christian Men rejoice..

“I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day” by H.W. Longfellow.
All the verses together tell a story, and I especially like this next-to-last verse:
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
“God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men.”
