We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas; We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Good tidings we bring to you and your kin; Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year. Oh, bring us a figgy pudding; Oh, bring us a figgy pudding; Oh, bring us a figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer Good tidings we bring to you and your kin; Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year. We wish you a Merry Christmas; We wish you a Merry Christmas; We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. |
A great guitar version to sing along with (let him play through one verse at the beginning and again at the end):
Singalong video (this video has more verses than we're going to sing):

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging; O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! Thy leaves are so unchanging; Not only green when summer's here, But also when it's cold and drear. O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! Thy leaves are so unchanging! O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! Much pleasure thou can give me; O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! Much pleasure thou can give me; How often has the Christmas tree Afforded me the greatest glee! O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! Much pleasure thou can'st give me. |
Singalong video (first two verses only):
Here's a version with singing (we're only singing up to 1:25):
Here are some instrumental versions you can listen to or sing along with:

Here we come a-wassailing among the leaves so green
Here we come a-wand'ring so fair to be seen Love and joy come to you And to you your wassail too And God bless you and send you a happy new year And God send you a happy new year We are not daily beggars that beg from door to door But we are neighbours' children whom you have seen before Love and joy come to you And to you your wassail too And God bless you and send you a happy new year And God send you a happy new year God bless the master of this house, likewise the mistress too; And all the little children that round the table go. Love and joy come to you, And to you your wassail too, And God bless you, and send you a happy new year, And God send you a happy new year. |
Start video at 1:25:

Up on the housetop, reindeer pause,
Out jumps good old Santa Claus. Down through the chimney with lots of toys, All for the little ones, Christmas joys. Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go! Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go! Up on the housetop, Click, click, click, Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick. First comes the stocking of little Nell, Oh, dear Santa fill it well Give her a dolly that laughs and cries One that will open and shut her eyes Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go! Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go! Up on the housetop, Click, click, click, Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick. |
This is a singalong video (we're just doing verses 1 and 2):
A nice version with ukulele:
I like Raffi's version too, although he doesn't sing the second verse:
Here's another pretty good version:
|
Good King Wenceslas looked out, on the Feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even; Brightly shone the moon that night, tho' the frost was cruel, When a poor man came in sight, gath'ring winter fuel. "Bring me flesh, and bring me wine, bring me pine logs hither: Thou and I will see him dine, when we bear him thither. " Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together; Through the rude wind's wild lament and the bitter weather. In his master's steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted; Heat was in the very sod which the saint had printed. Therefore, let us all be sure, wealth or rank possessing, Ye who now will bless the poor, shall yourselves find blessing. |
This video has the same three verses that we're going to sing:
This video has more verses than we're going to sing, but it's instrumental so it might be useful for singing along to (we're only singing verses 1, 3, and 5):
This version is just here for fun. All of the instruments are played by Mr. Peters and all of the singing is done by Mrs. Peters.

Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee
All through the night Guardian angels God will send thee All through the night Soft the drowsy hours are creeping Hill and dale in slumber sleeping I my loving vigil keeping All through the night While the moon her watch is keeping All through the night While the weary world is sleeping All through the night O'er thy spirit gently stealing Visions of delight revealing Breathes a pure and holy feeling All through the night All through the night |
