John and Gary's Xmas Party! Day 7: Tuesday 7 December

A wonderful rendition of the the Boar's Head Carol by stalwarts of the British folkrock scene, Steeleye Span

The carol dates back to the 15th century, if not earlier.It tells of the tradition of the sacrificing of a boar at Xmas,the head of which was put on the Xmas table. It all sounds pleasantly pagan to me.
