Good King Wenceslas, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Hello everyone..
Here is something i did for the holiday.
Christmas is my favourite time of year and i want to share this special moment with all of u ;-)

"Good King Wenceslas" is a popular Christmas carol about a king who goes out to give alms to a poor peasant on the Feast of Stephen (the second day of Christmas, December 26). During the journey, his page is about to give up the struggle against the cold weather, but is enabled to continue by the heat miraculously emanating from the king's footprints in the snow. The legend is based on the life of the historical Saint Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia (907--935), known in the Czech language as Svatý Václav.The tune is based on a 13th century spring carol "Tempus adest floridum" ("It is time for flowering") first published in the 1582 Finnish song collection Piae Cantiones.

"God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen" (also known as God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen) is an English traditional Christmas carol. The melody is in a minor key and is in common time or cut time. It was published by William B. Sandys in 1833, although the author is unknown.

"We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is a popular secular sixteenth-century English carol from the West Country of England.[1] The origin of this Christmas carol lies in the English tradition where wealthy people of the community gave Christmas treats to the carolers on Christmas Eve such as 'figgy puddings' that were very much like modern day Christmas puddings.[2] It is one of the few traditional holiday carols that makes mention of the New Year celebration. The song is often parodied.
