Spanish Christmas Songs
Spanish language Christmas songs, or Villancicos de Navidad, have an old and interesting history. The word Villancicos is best translated as "carols" or even "village carols". The word alludes to the fact that Spanish language carols originated in villages, and were used to sing about village life in general. These carols were popular in villages for hundreds of years, and it wasn't until the 1800's that the word Villancicos was primarily associated with Christmas.
