We used to sing the Coventry Carol every year at our school carol concert.
My Mum never heard it anywhere else, and thought it was specific to us.

One day, years later at another carol concert she turned to me in surprise at the fact it was on the programme.

In the wisdom of my early twenties I scoffed at her, telling her it was a well known carol and she was basically a silly old woman for thinking it was only my school that sang it.

Then when it started it was quite clear that no-one around us had any idea how it went. Mum was good enough not to say anything, although I burned with shame for the whole carol.
