I created this video and I own all rights to all content in both audio and video, specifically:
This video contains classical musical composition "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", a 16-century English carol
A Christmas carol is a carol whose lyrics center on the theme of Christmas or that has become associated with the Christmas season even though its lyrics may not specifically refer to Christmas. Both types of Christmas carols are included in this list.
Traditional Christmas carols mainly focus on the Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus. Other Christmas songs focus on more secular Christmas themes, such as winter scenes, family gatherings, and Santa Claus.
We wish you a Merry Christmas!
"We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is a popular secular sixteenth-century English carol from the West Country of England. The origin of this Christmas carol lies in the English tradition where wealthy people of the community gave Christmas treats to the carolers on Christmas Eve such as 'figgy puddings' that were very much like modern day Christmas puddings. It is one of the few traditional holiday carols that makes mention of the New Year celebration.
Lyrics
Version 1: We wish you a Merry Christmas (x3)
and a Happy New Year.
REFRAIN Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Now! bring us some figgy pudding (x3)
and bring some out here.
REFRAIN For we all like figgy pudding (x3)
so bring some out here.
REFRAIN And we won't go until we've got some (x3)
so bring some out here.
REFRAIN It's a season for music (x3)
and a time of good Cheer.
REFRAIN
(Some versions print the refrain as "Glad tidings" instead of "Good tidings')
Version 2: We wish you a Merry Christmas (x3)
and a Happy New Year.
REFRAIN Good tidings to you, where ever you are
Good Tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year
(The first line of the refrain can also be rendered as "Good tidings we bring, to you and to yours") Oh, bring us a figgy pudding (x3)
and a cup of good cheer
REFRAIN We won't go until we get some, (x3)
so bring it right here
REFRAIN We wish you a Merry Christmas (x3)
and a Happy New Year
REFRAIN
Modern variations of the refrain include:
Be near or be far, Where ever you are, We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
For family, for friends, For peace among men (without end), We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
The joy of his birth, brings peace upon earth, We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
The young and the old, their stories are told, We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
