About the carols:
Of the three Christmas Carols, the first two are relatively lesser-known than the last one, O Come All Ye Faithful, which of course is certainly one of the best-known of all Christmas Carols, if not THE best-known of all carols.
Here are a few notes about the first two carols:
"I Saw Three Ships (Come Sailing In)" is an English Christmas carol. The melody dates back to the 17th Century, and the lyrics were set and published by Englishman William Sandys in 1833.
The lyrics refer to one of two things - either -
1) Three ships sailing into the Dead Sea near Bethlehem. The reference to three ships is thought to originate in the ships that bore the purported relics of the Three Wise Men to Cologne Cathedral in the 12th century.
or -
2) another suggestion is that the ships are actually the camels used by the Three Wise Men, as camels are frequently referred to as "ships of the desert".
"Here We Come A-wassailing" (or "Here We Come A-caroling"), also known as "Here We Come A-Christmasing", "Wassail Song" and by many other names, is a traditional English Christmas carol and New Year song, dating from the 19th Century. It is typically sung whilst wassailing, or singing carols, wishing good health and exchanging gifts door to door.
