The Gaelic title is translated as 'Christmas Carousing'. The word 'carousing' derives from the Danes. A rouse was a large glass that was filled with an alcoholic beverage for drinking a health; the drinking of the health by the assembled company formed a carouse.

The Gaelic title is translated as 'Christmas Carousing'. The word 'carousing' derives from the Danes. A rouse was a large glass that was filled with an alcoholic beverage for drinking a health; the drinking of the health by the assembled company formed a carouse. There could be no carouse unless the glasses were emptied (Hackwood, 1909). The melody, initially in A mixolydian in the first strain, resolves to D major in the cadence, while second strain is entirely in D major. Other recordings include Green Linnet GLCD1182, The Tannahill Weavers - "Choice Cuts 1987-1996." Wildcat Records WILDCD 101, Ronan Martin - "Ronan Martin" (2008). It has infrequently been recorded by Cape Breton fiddlers (Ashley & Dave MacIssac).
