I always thought the idea in the first line of the famous carol was "God rest ye, merry gentlemen" which sounded to me like they didn't seem to need much in the way of rest if they were merry or even that they should stop all the excessive partying.

When I finally noticed where the comma went in the lyrics, it changed everything. It's "God rest ye merry, gentlemen." It's the best thing by way of a good wish for someone - a rest of lighthearted happiness.

Merry Christmas everyone!
