Santa

For Christians:How come there aren't as many Easter songs as there are Christmas songs and carols?

There's one Contemporary Christian song called,"He's Risen," but,other than that,why aren't there such things as Easter carols?Is it because Jesus Christ was an adult when he was crucified and resurrected and such a thing would be harder to have a carol about,as opposed to Christmas carols,many of which are about him as a baby?

1. christmas is much more commercialized. santa, presents, the whole shit. many people who don't believe in the christian religion will celebrate the commercial giving of gifts and whatnot, as opposed to the easter traditions.
2. No, I think it is simply because so many songs talk about how Jesus loves us, how Jesus died for our sins etc. that they are not considered Easter songs though they could be. Any regular attender of church will tell you the same thing. I would even go so far to say that most of the songs could apply to Easter they just don't b/c well there several dozens that could fit as an Easter song.
3. Because it is a somber time.
4. Easter is celebrated only for a few days that's why there's few songs about it that can be played and it is after a solemn celebration of Lent. While Christmas is a long celebration. People used to celebrate it as early as the month of October that they have plenty of time to prepare and to commercialize the event and it is more of a joyful celebration.
5. We do have the alleluias in our songs , Christ has risen, it is a time for joy. He has risen and shows us there is no death,only the death of the body. The soul goes on. There are also hymns sung during Easter time at churches. If you really want to get technical, how about peter cotton tail and in your easter bonnet?? L.OL!!
6. He was not born on or around December 25th - but having said that, the myth of Santa Clause intertwined with His birth, commercialism, the thought of His coming was so special. What was SO special was His death and resurrection. I guess a lot of people do not grasp that. They think the birth was the thing to celebrate. It was His willingness to die that should be looked at. And yes, His resurrection. In answer to your question, I suppose so. It is nice to coo and get gushy over a birth - hard to be too upbeat when one dies.
