They're probably older than you think, old boy!
I made this little infographic to show just how old some of them are. Perennial favourite "White Christmas" – the original version by Bing Crosby – clocks in at a sprightly 77 years, and I'll bet you didn't know that "Jingle Bells" is now a 162 year old song.
But it's happy 300th birthday to "Joy To The World" (its lyrics, at least)! Surely that says something about their songwriting that ensures these songs and hymns have continued to be enjoyed for so long. Merry Christmas!
