Two pieces of information that you have learned from this song

1. To "deck the halls" means to decorate. In this case, they are decorating for Christmas. A bough is a branch, so they are hanging up branches of holly.
2. The Yule log was the wood from the largest tree near the village that could be found. Yule originated in Scandinavia where it is extremely cold and dark; as such, the 12 days of Yule (later 12 days of Christmas) were the 12 days when there was no sunlight around the winter solstice. Each spark from the Yule log supposedly foretold each new life (livestock and whatnot) that would be born in the village in the New Year. The holiday of Yule and the Yule log are pagan in origin and the holiday, as with most winter solstice holidays, is meant to celebrate hope during the darkest time of the year.
