Wassail

Wassail Wassail is a holiday greeting, loosely meaning "good health". It is also the name of a hot spiced drink traditionally served around the holidays.

Join in good company

Sing traditional carols around 9:30 pm. Bring a carol of your own to share. and lead us in it's singing. Enjoy plenty of fine refreshments. As in the past, this gathering will feature the traditional hearty batch which includes ale, sherry, brown sugar and spices, and a lighter batch with cider, cranberry juice, orange and spices (no spirits). We will also have other refreshments. For Wassail recipes and refreshment list, go to :

I am sending invitations to local folks and those I know well. My house is only so big, otherwise I would invite the world. If you are visiting in the area and would like to attend RSVP as indicated or go to the web site and get further contact information. Would you like to create your own Wassail Party? I would like to make it a trend. It is a great way to celebrate the Holidays. You can get Wassail recipes at my web site:

Also, you can get a list of carols at

All you need for a successful Wassail Party is a lot of good will, some nice decorations, a caldron or two of Wassail, a brief carol sing and lots of friends. Beyond that, you can be as creative as you like. Let me know if you host your own Wassail Event. I would love hear about it. Can you guess which films or stories these quotes are from? "God Bless Us, Everyone!"

One of my favorite singer song writer. He was very popular during my college years, 1969 through 1973, especially in Plattsburgh NY, near the Canadian border.

Gordon Lightfoot, the folk singer-songwriter known for “If You Could Read My Mind" and "Sundown” and for songs that told tales of Canadian identity, died Monday.

Sadly, I could not muster up the time and energy to host a formal Wassail Night before Christmas. I do hope to make some Wassail before Jan 6 and will let you know about it, if my house is presentable enough for visiters.

This past month has been unusually complicated, so I am postponing my Wassail Night to a date to be announced. Hope you have a Merry Christmas and joyous Holiday Season.

In case anyone is wondering, I am postponing this year's Wassail Night. This past month has been very complicated. There is a possibility I will reschedule a Wassail event soon, even if it is between Christmas and New Years. Thank you for your understanding.

Time and date for my Wassail Night is pending, I hope to have an informal event, as late as being Christmas and New Years.

Our next Wassail Night will be rescheduled for a later date. Please wait for a further information..
