about

This particular song begins with a very altruistic sounding expressed desire that the recipients of the carol would experience a merry Christmas. Now that all sounds well and good until we see that it very quickly degenerates to reveal a pugnacious demand of "Figgy pudding" or else--and the proof of subterranean selfishness is literally in the pudding. From there the carolers form a union and organize a sit-in with demands that must be met-- "We won't go until we get some." From there all I can figure is that there is a missing verse or two, because in a most abrupt fashion the whole fracas is summarily resolved with the caroler's return to selfless sounding rhetoric to the effect that they are only seeking the festive felicity of their hearers after all. BTW--Does ANYONE know what figgy pudding actually is? And if so, is it really worth this much passive-aggressive energy expenditure?
