**Silent Night

*O Come, All ye Faithful

**O Come, O Come, Emmanuel (Veni, Veni Emmanuel, one of the earliest chants, and technically an advent hymn)

The only X's related to Christmas carols I could find are composers.

Alfonso X of Castile in the 13th century wrote at least two of the Cantigas de Santa Maria, which are the oldest Iberian Christmas carols written in a vernacular language

Also, Franz Xaver Gruber who wrote "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht" which is Silent Night.
