The song "Deck the Halls" (original title: "Deck The Hall With Holly") is a very old traditional Yuletide carol. It is very likely that the 'fa la la la la' was played on the harp. Mozart utilized the tune to 'Deck the Halls' for a duet with violin and piano.

The custom of 'decking the halls with holly' is very old and may date back several thousand years. It is known that ancient Romans, Greeks and Druids utilized sacred evergreen holly to decorate their homes during mid-winter.

Have a glorious, magical Holiday!
