6 Days ’til Christmas: Caroling

Have you ever gone Christmas caroling? I did it once so now I can say that I have. I like singing carols but not so much the act of going caroling. Do you have favorite songs? My taste goes more toward the tradtional.

As mentioned earlier, “The Holly and the Ivy” is a fave.

Then there’s “O Holy Night,”

“I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing In,”

“Here We Come A-Wassailing,”

and the less traditional: “Winter Wonderland.”

Your faves?

p.s. I frequently link to Amazon so you can get more info because of the convenience factor. I’m not remunerated for it. Nor do I think you should buy from them if you don’t want to. Just so you know. 🙂
