While adding items to the online events permathread, I noticed that there are several Christmas-themed events and if I list a lot of them now, that could draw attention away from other items such as the Folk Song Society of New York anniversary gathering (11 Dec) and Camp Harmony (starts 30 Dec).

Subject: Folklore: A talk about Christmas carols
From: Fiery Dragon
Date: 09 Nov 21 - 03:18 PM

I will be giving a talk about English Christmas carols at Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution (BRLSI) at 7.30pm on Friday 10 December.

I will be uncovering archaeological layers in the history of carols and coming to some perhaps surprising conclusions. I’ll also be talking about the recent renewed interest in unusual old carols and where people are singing them in pubs.

This is a hybrid event, so as well as a live audience there will also be people attending via Zoom, so if you like you can sign up to attend via Zoom in the comfort of your own home. I do hope you’ll be able to make it.

Here is the link to the event:
