Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson. Deck the hall 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 Christmas 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 Christmas 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, ye 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.  less
