costumes, brilliant choreography and artistic stage props offered a visual treatise for the gathering.

Report on Christmas Carol Singing done by MI,MII & MIII on 18th-19th Dec 2013

Carol was first sung in Europe thousands of years ago, but these were not Christmas carols. The word carol actually means dance or a song of praise and joy! Carols used to be written and sung during all four seasons, but only the tradition of singing them at Christmas has actually

survived.
