The tradition of wassailing (alt sp wasselling) falls into two distinct categories: the house-visiting wassail and the orchard-visiting wassail. The house-visiting wassail is the practice of people going door-to-door, singing and offering a drink from the wassail bowl in exchange for gifts; this practice still exists, but has largely been displaced by carolling. The orchard-visiting wassail refers to the ancient custom of visiting orchards in cider-producing regions of England, reciting incantations and singing to the trees to promote a good harvest for the coming year. Notable traditional wassailing songs include "Here We Come a-Wassailing", "Gloucestershire Wassail", and "Gower Wassail".

  • Il wassailing (anticamente: wasselling) è un'antica tradizione del folclore natalizio inglese che prende il nome dalla coppa del (dall'ags. wæs hæl = "buona salute"), contenente una bevanda calda a base di birra o sidro con spezie e mele tostate. La tradizione conosce due varianti, una consistente nella benedizione degli alberi da frutto e degli animali da stalla con la coppa del wassail, l'altra consistente nel girare per le case con la coppa del wassail intonando canti natalizi.
