I have just opened a new page that people might be interested in. It lists traditional Yule Songs in English and tells where you can find the music for them and, if possible a recording. It lists mainly Holly and Ivy Songs, Wassail Songs and the Boar's Head Carol, as well as songs of conviviality--fun for everyone to sing. I hope you like it.

I know people have asked this question before, but often they don't get much of an answer (I checked). So this is what I could find.

Here is a link that might work
http://pierce.yolasite.com/yulesongs

and another in case that doesn't.
or just pierce.yolasite.com/yulesongs

Yola bit the dust. They were hacked in November of 2011 and couldn't salvage their data banks, so I've moved my webpages to a new domain at piereligion.org. So now you can find the Yule Songs webpage (just updated) at Yule Songs. I hope that link works.

This page has the traditional songs which many people say are Pagan and it gives links to the words and music so that people can sing them. Many of the songs have Christian(ized) words which I gave if that is traditional and if there is a rewrite that is more suitable for Pagans, I included that too.

"Apple Tree Wassails are the songs that are sung to the health of the apple trees in English"... and what are the songs that are sung to the health of the apple trees in Welsh or Sindarin?

Thanks for doing the link, GfS. Thanks for the kind words, Leenia. Here's another Yule song written by my life partner, Susan Urban with any old and modern look at the yule/solstice time of year.
