Wassail is the name of a hot cider drink that is prepared during the holidays, but the term has other meanings, too: wassailing is the practice of going from door to door at Christmas and singing carols. It is a tradition that dates back several centuries in England, and it was a favorite activity of the American colonists, too. This song is also known by the title Here We Come A-Caroling, or just The Wassail Song. The composer of the carol is unknown, but it was probably written in the mid-nineteenth century.
