The happy lyrics and spritely melody have helped make it one of the most popular Christmas songs, too. The melody has a catchy ascending pattern that makes it easy to sing and to remember. We Wish You a Merry Christmas is a traditional English carol, and like so many Christmas songs, we do not know who wrote the lyrics or who composed the melody.
