During the Christmas season everyone seems a bit happier and more hopeful. There is a special “spirit of Christmas”, and one of the things that makes the spirit of Christmas so strong is the many Christmas songs that people listen to and sing with their family and friends.
Because Christmas is a Christian holiday, the earliest Christmas songs were all religious songs that talked about the birth of Jesus Christ. Some examples of these songs are Silent Night, Joy to the World, and Away in a Manger. These traditional songs are also called ‘Christmas carols’. The word carol is also a verb that means to go from house to house, usually with a group of people, singing Christmas songs to the people inside. Caroling became popular in the 1800s, and is still a very popular Christmas activity.
When thinking of Taiwanese sports stars, Chien-Ming Wang quickly comes to mind. Originally signed in 2000 to play for the Staten Island Yankees, a farm team for his present employer, the New York Yankees, Wang has followed in the footsteps other Taiwanese baseball players like Hong-Chih Kuo and Chin-hui Tsao (both are pitchers for the Los Angeles Dodgers).
