Here We Come A-Caroling

Here We Come A-Caroling

Christmas carolers may not be as visible as they once were, but holiday celebrants who still engage in this fun tradition will have many songs to choose from as they inspire their neighbors with holiday cheer. No song may align with caroling better than “Here We Come A-Caroling” (or “Here We Come A-wassailing”). Though it’s hard to pinpoint the precise origins of this beloved song, historians believe it dates back to the mid-nineteenth century. Since then, the song has been performed by many notable groups, artists and even rodents, as distinguished entertainers such as the Boston Pops, Perry Como and Alvin and the Chipmunks have recorded the tune. 12/20/2023 12:00 AM
