JD's 2023 Advent Calendar (05)

Three more Christmas delights starting with a bit of wassailing!

Wassail, Wassail, All over the Town

Yorkshire Wassail, performed by Elektra Women's Choir

THAT CHOIR: The Holly and the Ivy arranged by Ola Gjeilo

While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night (Lyngham) (StF 221)

The Christmas Tree:
This is sung in many of the pubs around Sheffield - with everyone joining in the chorus with gusto; "Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!" I think everyone gets high from the hyper ventilation needed to sing it. Here it's being sung in the wonderful Royal Hotel in Dungworth, a small village out on the moors near Sheffield.
