Wassail Song Book 2017 Deck the Halls The Wassail Song Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Here we come a wassailing Fa la la la la, la la la la. Among our vines so fine Tis the season to be jolly, Here we come a wassailing Fa la la la la, la la la la. To toast with our good wine (Chorus) Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la, la la la, la la la. Love and joy come to you Troll the ancient Yule tide carol, And to you your wassail too, Fa la la la la, la la la la. And God bless you and send you A bountiful new year See the blazing Yule before us, And God send you a bountiful new year. Fa la la la la, la la la la. Strike the harp and join the chorus. We are not daily beggars Fa la la la la, la la la la. Who beg from door to door. We are county winegrowers Follow me in merry measure, Who you have seen before. Fa la la la la, la la la la. Chorus While I tell of Yule tide treasure, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Good master and good mistress. As you sit beside the fire, Fast away the old year passes, Pray think of us poor winegrowers Fa la la la la, la la la la. A’trudging through the mire. Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Chorus Fa la la la la, la la la la. We have brought a wassail cup Sing we joyous, all together, Filled with spicy brew, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Lend us hearth and comfort food Heedless of the wind and weather, And we will sing for you. Fa la la la la, la la la la. Chorus Dark and cold come early now With winter drawing near, But vines abed in our good soils We toast with hearty cheer. Chorus Silent Night Hark the Herald Angels Sing Silent night, holy night Hark! the herald angels sing, All is calm, all is bright "Glory to the newborn King!" Round yon virgin mother and child Peace on earth, and mercy mild, Holy infant so tender and mild. God and sinners reconciled Sleep in heavenly peace, Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Sleep in heavenly peace. Join the triumph of the skies; With th' angelic host proclaim, Silent night, holy night "Christ is born in Bethlehem." Shepherds quake at the sight Hark! the herald angels sing, Glories stream from heaven afar, "Glory to the newborn King!" Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah, Christ the Saviour is born! Christ, by highest heav'n adored: Christ the Saviour in born! Christ, the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold him come, Silent night, holy night Offspring of the favored one. Son of God, love’s pure light Veil'd in flesh, the Godhead see; Radiant beams from thy holy face, Hail, th'incarnate Deity: With the dawn of redeeming grace. Pleased, as man, with men to dwell, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth. Jesus, our Emmanuel! Jesus, Lord, at thy birth. Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King!" Hail! the heav'n born Prince of peace! Hail! the Son of Righteousness!

Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King!" The First Noel Let It Snow The first Noel the angel did say, Oh the weather outside is frightful Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay, But the fire is so delightful And since we've no place to go In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! On a cold winter’s night that was so deep. It doesn't show signs of stopping (Chorus) And I've bought some corn for popping Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, The lights are turned way down low Born in the King of Israel Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! When we finally kiss good night They looked up and saw a star, How I'll hate going out in the storm! Shining in the east, beyond them far, But if you'll really hold me tight And to earth it gave great light, All the way home I'll be warm And so it continued both day and night The fire is slowly dying Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer And, my dear, we're still goodbying But as long as you love me so Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! had a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw him, you would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games. Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say: "Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go down in history! Jingle Bells Frosty the Snowman Dashing through the snow Frosty the Snowman, was a jolly happy soul, In a one horse open sleigh With a corn cob pipe and a button nose, O'er the fields we go and two eyes made of coal.

In a one horse open sleigh Oh, Frosty, the Snowman, was alive as he could be; Jingle bells, jingle bells and the children say he could laugh and play, Jingle all the way just the same as you and me. Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump, look at Frosty go. A day or two ago Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump, I thought I'd take a ride over the hills of snow. And soon Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side Frosty the Snowman, knew the sun was hot that day, The horse was lean and lank so he said, "Let's run, and we'll have some fun now, Misfortune seemed his lot before I melt away." We got into a drifted bank Down to the village, with a broomstick in his hand, And then we got upsot Running here and there, all around the square, sayin', "Catch me if you can."

These events center around the figure of the Krampus, a beast-like, punishing “devil” that accompanies St. Nicholas on December 5, the eve of his feast day. By 2010, groups of people in US cities were staging their own Krampusnacht processions in downtown areas, referencing the European enactments while simultaneously innovating their embodiments to meaningfully interact with the Christmas season in the United States. Participation in these events increases annually and the Krampus figure’s presence online and in popular media is on the rise.

  • WASSAIL from OLDE ENGLAND the Following Recipe for Wassail Is
    WASSAIL FROM OLDE ENGLAND The following recipe for wassail is adapted from Food in England by Dorothy Squires in the 1700s. Ingredients 1 lb. of soft brown sugar 4 pints of ale 1 whole nutmeg grated (1 Tablespoonful of freshly grated or 3 Tablespoonsful of ground) 1/3 cup of crystallized ginger pieces 1 ½ pints sherry 3 pints dark beer 8 small tart apples, like Cox’s orange pippins (any pippin will do) Method 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 2. Place the apples on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes. The skins should look as though they are starting to burst. 3. Grate the nutmeg in a nutmeg/spice/microplane grater (blenders don’t work well). 4. Chop the ginger into small pieces, or whizz it in a blender with some of the ale. 5. Add all the liquids to a large pot with the sugar and spices. 6. Stir to make sure the sugar is melting and not caramelizing on the pot bottom. 7. When it is simmering, before it starts to boil, add the roasted apples, and serve. Note: Apart from adapting her recipe, we left out the steps where Dorothy added toast covered with yeast and bottled her wassail to ferment it. Novices will end up with a huge exploded bottles clean-up! CYDER WASSAIL This is adapted from an old Suffolk recipe. Ingredients 6 teaspoons soft brown sugar 1 orange cut in half 6 cloves 2 liters cider 200g caster sugar 300mls port 2 cinnamon sticks 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 300mls sherry/Madeira 1 lemon, halved Method 1.

    REVISTA CLASEI APRILIE 2014 REALIZATA CU OCAZIA ZILEI COLEGIULUI TEMATICA: TRADITII SI OBICEIURI N LUME COLECTIVUL DE REDACTIE : ELEVII CLASEI VIII B COORDONATOR : PROF. CRISTINA ELENA ANTON [email protected] CETATEAN EUROPEAN A fi cetăţean european înseamnă a avea cetăţenia Uniunii Europene. Ca şi cetăţenia nui stat, cetăţenia europeană conferă un anumit număr de drepturi deţinătorilor ei ; aceste drepturi sunt enumerate în tratatul însuşi: - libera circulaţie a persoanelor pe teritoriul tuturor statelor care fac parte din Uniunea Europeană -dreptul de a vota şi de a candida la alegerile Parla ment ului Euro pean şi la alege rile municipale în statul de rezidenţă atunci când acesta nu este cel al naţionalităţii ; - a putea beneficia, în caz de nevoie, de o protecţie diplomatică şi consulară din partea unui alt stat membru al Uniunii în state terţe ; - a exercita dreptul la petiţie şi a apela la mediatorul european. Cetăţenia europeană a fost instituită în 1992 prin Tratatul Uniunii Europene. Ansamblul drepturilor pe care ea îl vizează are ca obiectiv apropierea dintre popoarele şi cetăţenii Europei şi întărirea unui sentiment de apartenenţă la o identitate europeană comună. Cum devii cetăţean european ? Cetăţenia europeană este direct legată de deţinerea unei naţionalităţi a unui stat al Uniunii. Astfel, faptul de a fi cetăţean german, ceh, polonez, francez sau român conferă în mod auto mat germ anilo r, cehilor, polonezilor, francezilor sau românilor cetăţenia Uniunii şi drepturile şi îndatoririle care îi sunt anexate. Prin urmare, nu trebuie efectuat niciun demers deosebit pentru a fi cetăţean european. Este, deci, o cetăţenie de suprapoziţionare la cetăţenia naţională şi nu o cetăţenie de substituire.

  • Traditions and Tales (PDF)
    was traditionally held between Christmas and 18th January, often on Twelfth Night (the old date of 17th January) as a celebration of the cider apple and ceremony to ensure a good crop in the coming season. This was traditional in southern counties in particular Wessex – the old counties of Devon and Somerset – where cider was a major contributor to the local economy. Wassail comes from Anglo Saxonwes hal, was haileor wase hail:to be in good health or be fortunate. In one tradition the farmer, his family and friends would eat hot cakes and drink cider before going after dark to the orchard for the ceremony. A tree was chosen, usually the oldest, and the good spirits were greeted by putting a piece of toast or cake soaked in cider among the brances. More cider would be sprinkled on the ground as a libation. To scare off evil spirits, the men fired guns into the boughs and banged on kettles and pots while the others in the party would bow and sing the Wassail Song: Here's to thee, old apple tree, Whence thou may'st bud and whence thou may'st blow! And whence thou may'st bear apples enow. Hatsfull! Capsfull! Bushel – bushel – sacksfull! And my pockets full too! Huzza! Another version of the tradition has the best or oldest tree chosen to represent them all, known as the Apple Tree Man. This was feted as a guardian of the orchard. The tree was treated as above, but also the tips of the lowest branches were lowered and dipped into the cider pail before being toasted with cider and songs.
