Here's a seasonal song for everyone, to offend no one. It doesn't mention Christmas, Christ or Baby Jesus, which should really please the atheists and non-Christians. Yet, it gives a shout-out to Vikings, The Welsh, The Mafia, Gays and even Trolls!!! This is perhaps the most Politically Correct Seasonal song of them all. So come all y'all, let's all sing along to "Deck The Halls" video below with balladeer, Sweet Baby James - James Taylor!
"Don we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la.
Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol"
Don - a high ranking member of The Mafia
Gay - a homosexual
Troll - sing (something) in a happy and carefree way : troll the ancient Yuletide carol.
Yule - Old English gēol [Christmas Day]; compare with old Norse jól, originally applied to the heathen festival lasting twelve days, later to Christmas.
"Deck the Halls" (or "Deck the Hall" which is the original title) is a traditional Yuletide/Christmas and New Years' carol. The melody is Welsh dating back to the sixteenth century, and belongs to a winter carol, Nos Galan.
The lyrics first appeared in Welsh Melodies, a set of four volumes authored by John Thomas with Welsh words by John Jones (Talhaiarn) and English words by Thomas Oliphant, although the repeated "fa la la" goes back to the original Welsh Nos Galan and may originate from medieval ballads. --- The series Welsh Melodies appears in four volumes, the first two in 1862, the third in 1870 and the final volume in 1874.

Deck The Hall - A Sing-A-Long with James Taylor
Lyrics to Deck The Halls :
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
CoH blah, blah, blah, blah, blah --- and --- NUA blah, blah, blah, blah, blah --- blah, blah, blah, --- blah, blah, blah, --- blah, blah, blah!
