“Christmas is Coming" is a classic Christmas round. The author of the lyrics is unknown, but the music was composed by Edith Nesbitt, an Englishwoman, in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. Nesbit is famous for having written or collaborated on over 60 books of fiction for children, several of which have been adapted for film and television. She started a new genre, of magical adventures arising from everyday settings, and has been much imitated. She was also a political activist and co-founded the Fabian Society a precursor to Great Britain’s modern Labor Party.
