Deck The Halls
Drew K. & French Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chorus:
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 Yuletide carol
Fa la la la la, la la la la

Lumiere:
Deck the halls with
Boughs of holly
Spoken: Ha-ha, there must
Be much, much more holly...

Cogsworth:
'Tis the season...
Spoken: What's this?!
There's too much holly!
Whoa! Slow down, lad!

Angelique:
Don we now our gay apparel...
Spoken: No, no, no...
More mistletoe!





Mrs. Potts:
Di, di, di, di, di, di, di...

Overall Meaning

The song "Deck the Halls" is a classic Christmas tune that was originally a Welsh melody that was set to the lyrics by Thomas Oliphant in the mid-19th century. The song is all about the decorations and festivities that come with the holiday season. The main theme of the song is to get into the holiday spirit and to have a good time during the Christmas season.


The first verse of the chorus tells us to decorate the halls with boughs of holly, which is a traditional Christmas decoration. Holly represents the promise of life during a time when everything else is dead, making it a symbol of hope and renewal. The second line reminds us that the purpose of the holiday season is to be joyful and full of merriment. The second verse of the chorus encourages us to continue our joyful celebration and it suggest that we should dress up in our festive attire. The lyrics also encourage us to sing ancient carols that have been sung for generations in order to keep the holiday spirit alive.


Throughout the entirety of the song, the characters Lumiere, Cogsworth, Angelique, and Mrs. Potts from Disney's Beauty and the Beast interject with their own whimsical comments, making the song light and entertaining.

Accidentally stumbled upon your videos ... and Iโ€™m blown away. Love love love the vlog concept that focused on the environment instead of SO much talking. Love that you share nice spots to walk/eat.
The commentary is also so cute.
Anyways: just wanted to say that I love how natural these videos are and just perfectly capture reality! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ made me miss nyc
