14. “The Twelve Days of Christmas” is an English Christmas carol. The Twelve Days of Christmas are the twelve festive days starting Christmas Day (25 December). This period is also known as Christmastide. The Twelfth Day of Christmas is 5 January, with the celebrations of Christmas traditionally ending on Twelfth Night, the close of the Christmas festivities. In the song 12 Christmas presents are given. On each of the twelve days of Christmas a new gift is added to those already given on all the previous days. The song was first published in England in 1780.
“The Twelve Days of Christmas” is a cumulative song, meaning that each verse is built on top of the previous verses. There are twelve verses, each describing a gift given by “my true love” on one of the twelve days of Christmas. In each verse the singer names the new present and repeats in reverse order the list of all the presents. The singer always begins with the last present and ends with the first one.
The song was not English in origin, but French, though it is considered an English carol.

15. “Amazing Grace” (в переводе с английского «Изумительная благодать Господня»; в русской интерпретации «О, благодать») is a Christian hymn written by English poet and clergyman John Newton (1725–1807), published in 1779. “Amazing Grace” is one of the most recognizable songs in the English-speaking world. Its message is the forgiveness is possible regardless of the sins people commit and that the soul can be delivered from despair through the mercy of God.
Newton wrote the words from personal experience. He was pressed into the Royal Navy and became a sailor, participating in the slave trade. One night a terrible storm battered his vessel so severely that he became frightened enough to call out to God for mercy, a moment that marked the beginning of his spiritual conversion and he began studying theology. In 1764 Newton became curate and began to write hymns with poet William Cowper. “Amazing Grace” was written in 1773. In 1835 in the United States “Amazing Grace” was joined to a tune named “New Britain” to which it is most frequently sung today.
Author Gilbert Chase writes that “Amazing Grace” is “without a doubt the most famous of all the folk hymns”. Jonathan Aitken, a Newton biographer, estimates that it is performed about 10 million times annually.
