The author and composer of We Wish You a Merry Christmas cannot
be traced however it is believed to date back to England in the
sixteenth century. The tradition of carollers being given Christmas
treats for singing to wealthy members of the community is reflected
in this Christmas song - We Wish You a Merry Christmas!
Over the years the fashion for figgy puddings mentioned in We Wish
You a Merry Christmas has faded. But for the curious, the recipe
consisted of the most important ingredient which was of course figs
together with butter, sugar, eggs ,milk, rum, apple, lemon and orange
peel, nuts, cinnamon, cloves and ginger! Not dissimilar to the modern
day Christmas Puddings!
