Xmas carols

Happy xmas everyone:-)
Just been to a Methodist church, and looking at carols, sang a few.
Fascinating history there, Luther , Wesley , Rossetti ...
Loads of theology based around credal statements, allusions to Blake, classic Victorian artists evident!
Christ is actually very mythological, heavenly based. Word "Jesus " used formally.
My impression is that a mythical Christ is actually the underlying assumption of Christmas:-)
