Scriptural account notes shepherds abiding by night receive the angelic message of good tidings for all people. A heavenly host praises God, and the shepherds hurry to Bethlehem to see Mary, Joseph, and the Christ Child in a manger. They then fade from the narrative.
The wassail bowl and the Christmas toast trace to a medieval gesture. A Germanic chieftain’s host received a gold cup and the toast Waes hael hla ford Cyning. Common folk later used spiced ale, then fortified sherry, with fruit floating atop.
A classic Christmas poem recounts night time scenes in a house as St Nick arrives in a sleigh with eight reindeer, fills stockings and departs with a cheerful farewell. The narrator describes the glittering moonlit snow and the lively delivery by the jolly figure, ending with a wish for a good night.
