We Wish You a Merry Christmas

"We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is a popular English carol from the West Country of England.
The carol is absent from earlier collections such as those of west-countrymen Davies Gilbert (1822 and 1823) and William Sandys (1833), and also from ''The Oxford Book of Carols'' (1928). In the comprehensive ''New Oxford Book of Carols'' (1992), editors Hugh Keyte and Andrew Parrott describe it as "English traditional" and "The remnant of an ''envoie'' much used by wassailers and other luck visitors"; no source or date is given. Various print and online sources date the carol to the sixteenth-century, without giving a source.〔〔〔
The origin of this Christmas carol lies in the English tradition wherein wealthy people of the community gave Christmas treats to the carolers on Christmas Eve, such as "figgy pudding" that was very much like modern-day Christmas puddings.〔Brech, Lewis (2010). ("Storybook Advent Carols Collection Songbook" ). p. 48. Couples Company, Inc,〕〔Lester, Meera (2007). ("Why Does Santa Wear Red?: And 100 Other Christmas Curiousities Unwrapped" ) p.146. Adams Media,〕〔("We Wish You a Merry Christmas! - Christmas Songs of England" ). Retrieved December 11, 2010〕 A variety of nineteenth-century sources state that, in the West Country of England, "figgy pudding" referred to a raisin or plum pudding, not necessarily one containing figs.〔"A 'figgy pudding'; a pudding with raisins in it; a plum pudding", from "Devonshire and Cornwall Vocabulary", (''The Monthly Magazine'' vol. 29/6, no. 199, June 1, 1810. p. 435 )〕〔"Plum-pudding and plum-cake are universally called figgy pudding and figgy cake in Devonshire", from 〕〔"Figgy Pudding ... the ordinary name for plum-pudding. Also a baked batter pudding with raisins in it", 〕

In Warrell's 1935 publication, the wording is first given as "I wish you a merry Christmas", with "we" as an alternative in parentheses. Nevertheless, the carol is almost always sung as "we".
