'Caroling, Caroling' was written by Alfred Burt in 1954 as part of a long standing family tradition where family members were posted a Christmas carol containing a new carol each December. 'Caroling, Caroling' was the 13^rd in a series of 15 composed by Burt between 1942 and 1954. It was one of 3 he wrote just before he died in 1954 and has become the most famous of them all having been recorded by the likes of Fred Waring (for his 1959 'The Sounds of Christmas), Nat King Cole (for his 1960 album 'The Magic of Christmas), Perry Como (found on his 1967 album 'The Perry Como Christmas Album') and the Manhattan Transfer (from 1992's 'The Christmas Album).

Christmas songs don't get much more traditional in spirit and theme than 'Caroling, Caroling'. It is a real throwback to the way Christmas used to be and is a nice way to relive the experience all over again or for the very first time.
