Lasst uns froh und munter sein
"Lasst uns froh und munter sein" ("Let us be happy and cheerful") is a traditional German carol from the Hunsrück/Taunus region. There are some regional variations in the lyrics. The song is traditionally sung during Advent on December 5, the evening before Saint Nicholas Day (Nikolausabend), the feast day of Saint Nicholas of Myra.
