Comment
Singing and the holiday season go hand in hand. It's a natural impulse to express one's joy in song, one that predates Christianity, when people used to dance and chant in a circle. Etymologists today speculate that the earliest meaning of "carol" actually suggests "circle" rather than ‘song’.Interesting fact
