The wassail hotel traces to 13th century England with the lord hosting tenants for the 12 days of Christmas. Guests drank spiced ale from a shared cup while roasted apples burst, toasts proclaimed Wassail meaning to your health and the reply drink hail. The custom later revived in England and America during the 19th century.
Bulgarian Christmas customs feature the kravai cake with birds flowers and cross lit by candle with prayers as family breaks it for luck. Yule log rituals christen the new year with health crops and blessings while children await gifts from Grandpa Koleda before year end. Romanian traditions extend to the day before Christmas with youth and celebration.
The article surveys Christmas carol traditions in 1890s homes and 1975 reflections, noting singing around pianos, hospital visits, church programs, and carols via radio and TV.
