 Christmas Carols
Many carols have their beginnings far back in the medieval ages and originally carols seem to have been any songs which conformed to a certain musical pattern: lively music, a series of verses punctuated by a refrain and ring or round dancing songs.
Some of the surviving carols of today, such as The Boar's Head Carol, have sprung from the Middle Ages and it was during this period that the practice of singing carols in the streets seems to have been firmly established.
Many carols were written down during this period whilst others were still passed on orally and despite the Puritans' efforts to discourage the people from celebrating Christmas, many carols did survive; and even though Christmas was abolished by Parliament from 1644-60, carols were still part of the Christmas celebrations in people's homes.
