we wish you a christmas

The greeting "a merry Christmas and a happy New Year" is recorded from 1740.[9] The English custom of performing inside or outside homes in return for food and drink is illustrated in the short story The Christmas Mummers (1858) by Charlotte Yonge, in which a group of boys run to a farmer's door and sing: I wish you a merry Christmas And a happy New Year, A pantryful of good roast-beef, And barrels full of beer.

Lyrics From Warrell (1935)
1 I wish you a merry Christmas,
I wish you a merry Christmas,
 I wish you a merry Christmas And a happy New Year.
 Good tidings I bring To you and your kin;
 I wish you a merry Christmas And a happy New Year.
2 Now bring us some figgy pudding,
 Now bring us some figgy pudding,
 Now bring us some figgy pudding,
And bring some out here.
Good tidings I bring To you and your kin;
I wish you a merry Christmas And a happy New Year.
 3 For we all like figgy pudding,
We all like figgy pudding,
For we all like figgy pudding,
So bring some out here.
Good tidings I bring To you and your kin;
I wish you a merry Christmas And a happy New Year.
 4 And we won't go till we've got some,
We won't go till we've got some,
And we won't go till we've got some,
So bring some out here.
Good tidings I bring To you and your kin;
I wish you a merry Christmas And a happy New Year.
[1] Version 2 We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
And a happy New Year
