Sixth Day of Christmas

"Here we come a-wassailing among the leaves so green, here we come a wandering so fair to be seen. Love and joy come to you, and to you your wassail to, and God bless you and send you a happy New Year. And God send you a happy New Year."


The traditional English drink for this season was Wassail (from the Saxon: 'Was Hael' meaning 'Be whole' or 'to your health.'  For all the words to this song, visit this link.  For more about Wassailing, visit this link.
