Christmas songs mainly concentrate on the birth of Jesus, the night on which he was born and Santa Claus and his reindeer. Christmas bell songs focus on the bells used for Christmas decorations. Many poets compose songs only for the Christmas bells. Longfellow is one of the poet who is most popular for composing songs on Christmas bells. Christmas bell songs state the importance of bells used during Christmas. Christmas bells are thought to drive away evil powers through their tinkling sounds.

Christmas bells are not only used to create songs on them but they also produce a lovely tinkling sound, which is used for creating music. In the earlier days, bells were used during caroling. Today, many new instruments have been invented, but this does not affect the importance of Christmas bell for music.

When you think about the songs based on Christmas bells, the first song that comes to our mind is Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "Christmas bells" poem. Longfellow was an American citizen. He was not only popular for his Christmas songs but also songs on various topics. This song was written when the American civil war was going on. His son was severely wounded and two years before the war he had lost his wife in a fire accident. The song depicts his sorrow and cry that there is no love in this world.

One of his versus says:

"I Heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men"

However, on his another verse he says:

"And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth" I said;
For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men"

This song was later set into many tunes. The poem was also set into the 1845 composition 'Mainzer'. In 1950, Johnny Marks again tuned this song. Many people then recorded this version.

Songs on Christmas bells give the message that during Christmas everyone should forget their worries and sing the wonderful song. It says that the sound of the bells fill the valleys and hills. The "Ding Dong Ding Dong" sound of the bells spreads all over without an end filling all the houses with joy. There are many songs based on Christmas bells.
