What's a wassail?

I think “Let me google that”

I always thought it was a drink of some kind…is that right?

What do I think when I hear the word? Frankly, I think of four years of high school caroling.

well in the song it says the carolers are “wassailing” so it’s a verb and I think it means to sing songs in exchange for free shit on Christmas… I am gonna go wassail for some booze…

I think of it as some sort of smelly animal. or maybe thats just cause they made it with dinner tonight and the kitchen doesn’t smell good…

If I never knew the definition I would not be able to define it.

I was right…it is a drink.

so that is what is in the pot on the stove then. Interesting.

“Here we come a-wassailing among the leaves so green…”

It’s a certain tradition of caroling door-to-door. It’s popular in Eastern Canada (and other areas, but I don’t know where).

It is also a drink, as I recently discovered.

It’s really yummy!!! Aw, I think this is the first year in many that I won’t have it for Christmas!!

Wassail is delicious – especially with liquor in it.

Well lets break this word down. Was and sail. Obviously its something that was a sail at one point. Or maybe people said the two words together like…“I wassail-ing yesterday and saw a big fish”. Your welcome.
