WASSAILING - "WASSAILING" is an old English custom similar to proposing a toast to one's health. That comparison sounds simple, however the custom Wassailing is much more elaborate than ever,  "Here's to your good health".

The world is derived from Anglo-Saxon "wes-Ha'l" to be whole. English carolers would carry a large bowl from house to house, hoping their neighbors would fill it with drink. As timed passed, the drink associated with the wassail bowl would be hot, spiced ale with toasted apples floating on the surface. Another name for this delicious toddy was "lambs wool".

Although this custom began in the pre-Christian era, the church passively adopted it as a means to spreading Christmas good will. By not objecting to the pagan winter custom, the church effectively gave its blessing and Wassailing became a Christmas tradition.
