From your program today it seems that you are unaware that many of the traditional carols have different music here in the U.S. vs. in Great Britain. I found this out to my chagrin in 1971 while visiting English friends and going caroling with them. As I recall, there were but one or two carols whose music was the same! Ours seemed to be much cheerier to me at the time.
