<p>Added links to remove dead end status</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A Wassail is a end of year seasonal holiday party, typically held in late November or December. While it might be hosted in the format of a formal SCA event and posted on the Kingdom calendar, it is often a small local event and not advertised - although all are still welcome.<br /> <br /> Wassail always includes a [[feast]], usually [[Dessert revel|potluck]].<br /> <br /> == Origin of the Name ==<br /> <br /> The name wassail comes from the Anglo Saxon greeting, &quot;wes þú hál&quot;, literally &quot;be thou hale/healthy&quot;. The Old English form of this is &quot;wæs hál&quot;, giving us the name of the event.<br /> <br /> Wassail is also the name of a traditional mulled beverage, and it is often served as part of the event.<br /> <br /> Wassailing, or caroling, is also performed at some of the events.<br /> <br /> It is common to use &quot;Wassail!&quot; as a cheer or toast during the event. The traditional response to this is &quot;drink hál!&quot; (drink hale!). Trouble-making Viking folk may choose to instead cheer, &quot;skål&quot;, but should be shouted down during this day.<br /> <br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> <br /> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wassail Wikipedia article on Wassail]<br /> <br /> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wassailing Wikipedia article on Wassailing]<br /> <br /> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toast_(honor)#skoal Wikipedia article on skål]<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Events]]</div>
