  • Wassailing is a centuries-old British tradition for marking the New
    Year, where a group of people walk round their neighbourhood
    singing special songs called "wassails". Traditionally, the
    wassailing has two strands - going from door to door being welcomed
    in local houses, and blessing apple trees and beehives so that they
    are fruitful and productive in the coming year. There are old
    recipes for wassail drinks to go with these activities, and
    descriptions of "wassail cups" which are the vessels out of which
    these would have been drunk. These traditions still continue
    unbroken in some parts of Britain, such as Cornwall. In other
    areas, it has been revived more recently, and it is common for
    these celebrations to take place on, or close to, January 17th, the
    "old" New Year's Eve.
