Does any government have the right to make the singing of Christmas Carols illegal? The UK administrations seem prepared to do so. Why should Christians acquiesce? As law-abiding citizens, we should. But as witnesses for Jesus in this dreadful time of Coronavirus mid-winter we should joyfully proclaim the beautiful words of the Carols. ‘And you, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low, who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow, look now for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing. O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing’ (It came upon the midnight clear). Politicians should not mandate the cessation of Christmas Carols. They are getting far above themselves. There is much needed healing for the inner person and for society in the worship and sacraments of the Christian Church. ‘Joy to the world, the Lord is come! let earth receive her King; let every heart prepare Him room and Heaven and nature sing’.
