Settle a debate which is correct?

[MrsESH88]

Settle a debate between me and DH. The song ‘We wish you a merry Christmas’ are the lyrics

1. Good tiding we bring to you and your king

Or

1. Good tidings we bring to you and your kin

2

Kin

Definitely 2

Yabu for 1 or ynbu for 2 😀

Can never forget music teacher at primary school drumming that one into us

It's kin

Kin!

2 obviously

Kin! But I used to think it was 'king' when I was a child!

Kin, ell.

I always thought it was King, but this thread suggests I’m wrong!

How many times do you reckon 'lyrics to we wish you a merry Christmas' will be googled by mumsnet users after seeing this thread? 😂

And then they'll be like 'errr yeah of COURSE it's 'kin.' Knew it all along.

Definitely 2

Kin! (Family, rather than our non-existent male monarch, unless they meant King David but I don’t think they were singing carols back then!)

I know it's 2 (kin) but I still like to sing it as king occasionally!

Why didn't you just google it! No need for a debate.

It’s kin, but I always thought it was king and always sung that as a child and all the kids in my class always seem to too, even when corrected by the music teacher 🤷🏻‍♀️
