- 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.
