I heard about an ancient Yorkshire Christmas carol from about the 9th c that was heard being sung by an old woman in appalachia in the 21st c. & had been totally forgotten in Britain and that some of the American mountain folk kept the old calendar Christmas until the early 20th c (which included singing ancient carols, perhaps a few others pre 1054?).
Stuff like Barbry Allen, Mary of the Wild Moor, Over the River Charlie, In the Pines, The Cuckou, Wayfaring Stranger.... etc.
No, though some parts of culture probably SHOULD be abandoned, and the discussion moved away from that when saying, "Now you're Greek" is listed as a horrible, rude action.

No, not this one although this seems really good & thanks for it. A few years ago I recall listening to a culture news segment on NPR re Appalachia & one of the researchers mentioned about an ancient Christmas carol dating back to the 9th c in Yorkshire that was being sung by an old woman & had been forgotten probably everywhere else. The song was about the manger animals singing praise to the birth of the Lord & only on Christmas eve do they sing like humans. I wish I had more to go on. Undoubtedly the American Appalachians have observed Christmas in their homes that harken back to ancient times & some of the bluegrass music must have this as its seeds.Appalachian History » The Cherry Tree Carol (abridged)
This is a pretty cool hymn. Maybe this is the one you were hearing of?? I believe a similar story to the one told in this carol is found in a text called the Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew.
