This is the time of year when we sing songs about angels singing songs—Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Angels We Have Heard on High, Angels from the Realms of Glory, From Heaven High, O Angels Come, The Angels Song, just to name a few. It’s something we’ve always taken for granted—of course, angels sing! But as I’ve written a few books that depict angels singing, I must admit that in his account of the birth of Jesus, Luke does not actually say that the angels sang.

As you might know, I’ve written a few novels on the subject of angels and demons. So I thought it might be good to clear up a few myths I keep running into about these supernatural beings. This post will deal only with angels, just to keep things brief.
