The "Huron Carol" (or "'Twas in the Moon of Wintertime") is a Christmas hymn, written in 1643 by Jean de Brébeuf, a Christian missionary at Sainte-Marie among the Hurons in Canada. Brébeuf wrote the lyrics in the native language of the Huron/Wendat people; the song's original Huron title is "Jesous Ahatonhia" ("Jesus, he is born"). The song's melody is a traditional French folk song, "Une Jeune Pucelle" ("A Young Maid"). The well known English lyrics were written in 1926 by Jesse Edgar Middleton.

This version performed by Heather Dale, and sung in Wendat (Huron), French and English.

MINCE MEAT TART

Well, you can take your Christmas pudding
And put it outside to freeze
You know the nutmeg in that eggnog, now
It just about makes me sneeze
I've got something finer in my mind
And it stands miles apart
Understand, I'll be a sad young man
If I don't get a mince meat tart

I want me a mince meat tart (he wants it, he wants it)
I want a mince meat tart (he wants it, he wants it)
I want a mince meat tart
And I want it with all my heart

Now, I don't mind those chestnuts
But I hate it when they up and explode
I can put up with that cranberry sauce
But, last year I had an overdose
If you wanna make me happy
Prepare for the joy to start
When you take me to the fireplace
Sit me right down
And supply me with a mince meat tart

I want me a mince meat tart ... (repeat chorus)

Now, if you happen to see old Santa
You know, the guy with the big red nose
Well, tell 'im he ain't gonna get no milk and cookies
If he doesn't keep on his toes
Because, I don't wanna be like Elvis
Have myself a blue, blue Christmas
And I don't wanna fall apart
But as sure as you're born
I'll be shattered and torn
If I don't get a mince meat tart

I want me a mince meat tart ... (repeat chorus)
