#Wassail December 19
We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.
Throughout December 2024, several of us are taking part in the 30-Day PPT Coach4aday Challenge. PPT is an acronym for People Places or Things. Each day we share our insights, thoughts, or memories about a person (living or dead), a place (we have visited or learned about) or a thing that intrigues us. Today I’m featuring a thing called WASSAIL.
More often than not when you remain curious you realize how little you know. That became the case when I got curious about Wassail or more specific the Christmas song “Here We Come a Wassailing“.
People, Places, & Things 30-Day Challenge Guidelines
Like previous challenges there are no hard and fast rules to participate. There are a few suggested guidelines
- Each day in December 2024 write about a Person, Place or Thing-PPT
- Share at least one fact, memory, or quality about your subject choice.
- If so inclined use the hash tag #Coach4adayChallenge on social media platforms
December 19th-Wassail
Well, it seems when you use the word Wassail you could be referencing the singing of Christmas Carols from house to house or you may actually be talking about a holiday drink. The lyrics of the song could actually conjure up images of beggars looking for drink.
We are not daily beggars That beg from door to door; But we are neighbours’ children, Whom you have seen before.
Call up the butler of this house, Put on his golden ring. Let him bring us up a glass of beer, And better we shall sing.
We have got a little purse Of stretching leather skin; We want a little of your money To line it well within.
In North Carolina the Biltmore House serves a wassail during the holiday season and you purchase their spice blend online. It appears that Old Fashioned Wassail takes apple juice, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and spices.
Here is a step-by-step on how to make the drink.
