A Christmas toast to youl
Christmas means many age-old
traditions and customs. Some
may be enjoyed as a family rite -
others may be, broadened to
include friends. Tree trimming,
an evening of carol singing, and
even the food and beverage you
serve are wonderful mood-makers
for the holidays and a delightful
way of entertaining congenial
spirits.
For such an evening was the
ancient custom of toasts from the
Wassail Bowl. Wassail is an early
Anglo-Saxon word meaning "Be
Thou Well" and it was perhaps
one of the first toasts:- In
preparing the wassail in England
a great wooden bowl containing
wilip or cider or beer was placed
on the hearth - and above it,
apples were suspended on
strings. As the apples slowly
cooked, from the heat of the fire,
the juice dripped into the bowl.
Then pieces of toast were added
along with nutmeg and other
spices, and the whole concoction
. was whipped to a froth. After a
toast had been drunk to the head
of 'the house and to all his family,
the guests burst into a song ,
wishing that the householder's
blessings would be multiplied by
ten.
When carollers go
a-singing and of terwards come
back 'to your gaily lit home, mugs
of "Hot Spiced Cranberry
Punch" will restore chilled voices
instantly.
It is a delicious hot mixture of
frozen lemonade concentrate and
cranberry cocktail...such a
flavorful way to warm, up!
