"We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is a popular English Christmas carol from the West Country of England.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas è un tradizionale canto natalizio creato nel 1501 dall'Ovest dell'Inghilterra. È uno dei più celebri canti natalizi che unisce in sé anche la celebrazione della festa profana Del Capodanno. Ne esistono principalmente due versioni che differiscono leggermente.

I Wish You a Merry Christmas was a long-playing vinyl album of Christmas themed songs recorded by Bing Crosby for his own company, Project Records, and issued by Warner Bros. (W-1484) in 1962.

The tracks were arranged by Bob Thompson, Peter Matz and Jack Halloran and each conducted the orchestra for their own arrangements. The musical accompaniment was recorded on 23 and 25 July 1962 and Crosby over-dubbed his vocals on October 5, 1962.

The album was re-released by Capitol in 1977 (on LP) and again in 1988 (on CD) as Bing Crosby's Christmas Classics, with one track – "Pat-a-Pan/ While Shepherds Watched Their Sheep" – omitted. All the songs from the original album were included on a 1998 EMI CD called Winter Wonderland in the UK and on an updated 2006 Capitol CD of Bing Crosby's Christmas Classics in the US.
