Yule time Carols for Pagan type Folks, lol

Yule Carols

Why is a Pagan singing songs about Jesus?! Because they?re damn catchy, that?s why. Especially when sung a capella! And let?s face it.... Part of it is likely because I enjoy bringing myself back to a time when Christmas was magical. Not magickal, as in spells & Pagan-y stuff? but magical. Where the world seems to glitter, the air smells of pine needles and cinnamon, and the faintest sound of a holiday carol on your ears in the chilly night is enough to bring you to your happy place. So I found a few *Pagan carols and thought I would share them. *same old tune, new words
