Troll the ancient Yuletide carol

I know I uploaded Deck the Halls before, and this very decoration we bought in Sweden.But I love the carol because of its Pagan imagery and this is one of my favourite Christmas tree decorations. I find the decoration and the song mixing well together, even though the carol is originally from Wales. For me, all I can see when I hear it is Vikings cutting wood and decoration their halls with mistletoe, and drinking and eating in excess. I tried to find a good version on YouTube, I don't think I was nearly as lucky as last time. But here it is anyway, because it is time to troll the ancient Yuletide carol.

  1. One of my favourite carols too! In fact, I was just singing it in the shower yesterday. Probably more info than you really need, LOL!
