The origin of the phrase ‘Tis the Season,’ this sixteenth century Welsh melody married to a Romantic era text by Scottish musician Thomas Oliphant (1862) has become one of our most recognizable caroling tunes. This is not the only carol to borrow an ancient tune and put seasonal lyrics on top (Good King Wenceslaus, What Child is This, etc.), but it is the one that puts the ‘fa la la’ into Christmas.



Ryan's favorite starter ukulele: The Enya Nova U Concert Ukulele 23” on Amazon sounds great, is easy to play, in tune and nearly indestructable. "I left it in the car through the heat of summer to see what would happen, and it still plays beautifully."
