Ce medley rapide (quatre minutes et demie de longueur) brille avec panache et la joie des Fêtes. Chants familiers sont savamment disposés et assemblés, créant un guilleret, fougueux écueil qui est garanti pour casser la baraque! / Choeur SAB

The original version of this setting of the well-known traditional English folk song was completed in 1974, and was commissioned by Rachel McMillan College of Education (where Gregson was a lecturer at the time) for its Music Department choir (female voices). It then had the somewhat unusual instrumentation of spinet, flute and string quartet. In 2017 Gregson made a revision for performance and publication in a new version for upper voices and piano / Ssa Et Piano
