We just learned about the Christmas carol Silver Bells.
Another famous Christmas carol is Deck the Halls.
The music for this song is very old, going back to a Welsh song from some time around the 1700s.
That song was mostly someone singing about a beautiful woman that they were in love with, and then singing the same "fah la la la la" part after each verse.
In 1862 a famous Scottish musician named Thomas Oliphant picked new words for the song and made it about Christmas.
Some of the old words for the song talk about drinking mead, so some people have changed those words to talk about singing and Christmas.
