We Wish You a Merry Christmas Original

We Wish You a Merry Christmas is a traditional English carol thought to date from around the sixteenth century in the West Country. It grew out of wassailing, when carolers would visit homes singing good wishes — and hoping for a treat like figgy pudding in return.

This is Love to Sing's own 2020 recording of the carol, sung by the Love to Sing choir with bright, clear voices that make it easy to sing along to every line. It's a natural closer for Christmas concerts, nativity plays and classroom singalongs, and a warm way to wish everyone well at home.
