Historically Accurate Background:
While the exact origin remains unknown, "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is believed to have stemmed from a 16th-century English tradition. Back then, carolers would visit wealthy households during Christmas Eve, singing carols in exchange for treats like figgy pudding, a type of raisin or plum pudding. The playful lyrics reflect this custom, adding a touch of merriment to the song.
