I'll go with SM's answer, but why only the one from Wales? Getting onto a hobbyhorse here, I reckon Deck the Halls IS a carol. Most of the things sung at Christmas are actually hymns (In the Bleak Midwinter and so on). A carol can be at any time of the year - there are Easter carols - and can be danced to. Mind you, out team has danced to Oh Little Town of Bethlehem and Good King Wenceslas. Incidentally, the Czechs have only heard the story about Wenceslas from the Brits. Their King Vaclav (Wenceslas in translation) never did anything of the sort! Dec 12 03, 4:32 PM

Yay SM! I have asked as a pub quiz question how many las appear in each verse of this? Dec 13 03, 9:00 AM

8 las as the first is a fa. All the traditional English carols (yes they were danced too) were banned at the time of the Commonwealth. Most of the tunes and words we have now are either French, Victorian or rediscoveries by Sharp and Grainger, Vaughan Williams etc. Dec 13 03, 1:39 PM
