I'm slowly learning how to play the penny whistle and I thought it would be fun to do a sort of advent of Christmas carols to give me something to work towards. Each day of December, up to Christmas day, I will post a video of myself playing a Christmas carol on the penny whistle.

Lyrics:

Deck the halls with boughs of holly  Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
'Tis the season to be jolly  Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel   Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la.
Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol   Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

See the blazing Yule before us.  Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Strike the harp and join the chorus.  Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Follow me in merry measure.  Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
While I tell of Yule-tide treasure.  Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Fast away the old year passes.  Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Hail the new year, lads and lasses  Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Sing we joyous, all together.  Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
heedless of the wind and weather.  Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
