Christmas Carols!

With Christmas just around the corner, I figured it would be a great come-back to post a couple of Christmas Carols!!

But first, what exactly does 'carol' mean?
Carol is both a noun and a verb!
As a noun it means 1. A song of praise or joy, especially for Christmas. and 2. An old round dance often accompanied by singing!!
As a verb it means 1. To sing in a loud, joyous manner and 2. To go from house to house singing Christmas songs. I think it was pretty obvious, no? :)

So, warm up those vocal chords with some hot cocoa and start caroling! :) :) :)

Below I've posted a couple of popular Christmas Carols:
We Wish you a Merry Christmas,
Jingle Bells,
Deck the Halls,
Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer
and Silent Night.
A great site for more carols (along with the music for each!) is http://www.the-north-pole.com/carols/index.htm

Jingle Bells

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. HEY!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.

Oh,

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh; HEY!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.

Deck the Halls

Deck the halls with boughs of holly;
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
'Tis the season to be jolly;
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel;
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol;
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

See the blazing Yule before us.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Follow me in merry measure.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
While I tell of Yule-tide treasure.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Fast away the old year passes.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Hail the new year, lads and lasses
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Sing we joyous, all together.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
heedless of the wind and weather.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,

you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer

used to laugh and call him names;
They never let poor Rudolph

join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,

Santa came to say,
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then how the reindeer loved him,

as they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go down in history!"

Silent Night

Silent night, Holy night,

All is calm, all is bright.

‘Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child,

Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly peace.
