Weird History of Christmas Carols

The video explores the origins of three popular Christmas songs. 'Good King Wenceslas' is based on the life of Vaclav, Duke of Bohemia, and was later adapted into a carol by John Mason Neale. 'Jingle Bells' was originally a Thanksgiving song by James Pierpont, which gained popularity as a Christmas tune. 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' was created by Robert May for Montgomery Ward and later turned into a song by Johnny Marks, famously sung by Gene Autry.
