What I love, love, LOVE about this traditional carol is the fun transition from 6/8 in the verses, to a cut-time feel in the choruses. Being a popular folk-tune, there are actually dozens of variants of the tune and words that have been gathered by Cecil Sharp and other folk song collectors. I feel like this carol is absolutely obligatory if you go out caroling with other singers.



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."
