A carol is a song that in medieval times was
associated with a round dance; today carols
are associated with festivals such as
Christmas. Christtmas carols were common as
early as the 15th century. The custom of
singing carols from house to house,
collecting gifts, was called wassailing. Many
carols, such as god rest the merry gentlemen,
dated from the 16th century.
