Geocache Description:

BYOP ... FTF gift inside. .... now this shepard is looking deep and wide for his flock. Can you help him


Originally, "Christmas carol" referred to a piece of vocal music in carol form whose lyrics center on the theme of Christmas or the Christmas season.

Musically speaking, carol has a very specific definition: a song, characteristically of religious joy, associated with a given season, especially Christmas; in which uniform stanzas, or verses (V), alternate with a refrain, or burden (B), in the pattern B, V1, B, V2 . . . B. A great deal of traditional and popular Christmas music does not actually meet the strict definition of "carol", and the term Christmas carol has come, in modern times, to colloquially refer to any song, in any of a variety of styles, which references Christmas, the Christmas season, or events in proximity to that season.

Many traditional Christmas carols are deeply religious, mainly focusing on the Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus. Many songs, both religious and secular, now regarded as "Christmas Songs" have become associated with the Christmas season even though the lyrics may not specifically refer to Christmas, for example: We Three Kings (Epiphany song); Good King Wenceslas (St. Stephen's Day carol); Deck the Hall (a pagan Yuletide drinking song); O Come Emmanuel (Advent chant); etc. Other Christmas songs focus on more secular Christmas themes, such as winter scenes, family gatherings, and Santa Claus: Jingle Bells; O, Christmas Tree; Home for the Holidays; Jolly Old St. Nicholas'; etc.
