Christmas Carols |
|
 |
The first Christmas Carols came from France. The singers would dance as they sang - the word 'carol' means a circling dance. Christmas carols have been sung in UK churches for 800 years. Cheerful carols would be sung and the Christmas story acted out - much like we still do today. |
|
The custom of wandering Christmas carol singers calling on homes is also a very old one. Some of our most popular carols are very old - but every year new ones are written. Do you have a favourite? |
