Blogger Caroling

The Footnote Maven has invited us to join her in Blog Caroling!

I am so excited! I haven't been caroling since I was 16 years old! [And that's more years than is any of your bees wax! Or as the kids say today "nunya".]

I've put on my long johns under my caroling costume. [I thought it would be fun to carol in 19th century costume!]

My bonnet is firmly attached. My capelet on. My wool stockings. And my hands in my muff!

Ready?

Here we go!!!


"Here we come a-caroling among the leaves so green;
Here we come a-wand'ring so fair to be seen.
Love and joy come to you.
And to you glad Christmas too.
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year.
And God send you a Happy New Year.

We are not daily beggars that beg from door to door.
But we are neighbors' children whom you have seen before.
Love and joy come to you.
And to you glad Christmas too.
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year.
And God send you a Happy New Year.

God bless the master of this house, likewise the mistress too.
And all the little children that round the table go.
Love and joy come to you.
And to you glad Christmas too.
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year.
And God send you a Happy New Year. "
