"Now bring us some piggy pudding, Now bring us some piggy pudding..."

 

I must share the cutest Christmas story with you. This exchange happened about 25 years ago. My husband Allan can be the funniest person....

Allan hums and sings a lot. Every day. He has an affinity for Christmas Carols....year round. About 20 years ago he was in the kitchen singing the song We Wish you a Merry Christmas....."now bring us some piggy pudding, now bring us some piggy pudding" I stopped him and I could barely get out "did you say {snort ha ha snort gasp} Piggy Pudding?". He said "yes". I said, now I am getting that crazed kind of laughing where you can hardly speak..."it's actually Figgy Pudding" He just kind of looked at me for a minute and said "well, that's ridiculous, that doesn't even make sense". Honestly I was laughing so hard I was hysterical. Trying to recount the story for my co-workers the next day, I had to leave the room, I couldn't get the story out. Ahhhh, good times, good times.

So here is the actual song if you are so inclined. There are several versions of it.

This is the one I grew up with.

We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Chorus:

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

We wish you a Merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year

Now bring us some figgy pudding

Now bring us some figgy pudding

Now bring us some figgy pudding

And a cup of good cheer

We won’t go until we get some

We won’t go until we get some

We won’t go until we get some

So bring it right here

So bring us some figgy pudding

So bring us some figgy pudding

So bring us some figgy pudding

And bring it right here

Good tidings we bring

To you and your kin

We wish you a Merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year

Repeat chorus three times
