"We Wish You a Merry Christmas", also known as "We Wish You a Swinging Holiday" in the United States, 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'. It is one of the few English traditional carols that makes mention of the New Year celebration.
