We Americans tend to be completely oblivious to the treasure of French Christmas Carols. But there are a few we've likely come across a time or two, and the most prevalent of these is
Pat-A-Pan. (Because of an English translation in the 18th century). The song reminds me of a little bird, but it's supposed to remind you of a snare drum. And I never resent being told to be merry. I need reminders. (The
version from Mindy Gledhill's new album![](http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=readyformyclo-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B005OA4IHW)
is pretty great.)
