Wassailing

Here we come a-wassailing among the leaves so green, here we come a-wandring so fair to be seen – love and joy come to you, and to you your wassail too – and God bless you and send you a happy new year, and God send you a happy new year.

Wassailing is going from house to house, singing.

Some think going caroling is silly and old-fashioned.  However, it’s something we can do with family and friends to restore hope to our neighbors to whom we sing. 

One Christmas a few of our family members went caroling around to houses in the neighborhood where my parents live, and several people greeted us with warm smiles and thanked us for singing.  And it warmed our hearts as we sang together as one voice.

Did you know the bible says we should sing to each other?

Ephesians 5 says “…speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,…”

Do it. This Christmas!
