Someone put together a clip of some singing on Christmas from years ago. Yes, the cast sang.....Joy to the World, We Wish you a Merry Christmas, another one, and a very young Wally Kurth sang What Child is This to Adrienne, while playing his guitar. I just saw it the other day, tried to find it last night, and could not.I think it was on twitter...should have noted it right then. Stuff disappears so fast there, lol. I don't know who did it, but Tom & Alice were singing in some.
So, they did used to do singing. I think most Christmas hymns are in public domain, so they don't have to pay.
To me, the worst, absolutely worst Christmas ornament hanging was one time, at Hope's house. Don't know why the ornaments were there, but the tree was in an awkward place, and everyone was standing in a line, like at the supermarket, waiting to place their ornament. They did not have that ceremony there again. Another time, they only had 4 or 5 people at the Horton house to hang ALL the ornaments.
