A few nights before Christmas is Go Caroling Day. Caroling, or wassailing, is an English Christian oral tradition of singing songs and walking the neighborhood passed down from generation to generation. The original word, wassailing, is derived from the Old Norse, "ves heill," or "to your health / luck / happiness." Hard cider, mead, or ale usually played a part in traditional wassailing.
Originally, caroling occured any time of year. In the 13th century, Saint Francis of Assisi began to incorporate wassailing in his Christmastide sermons. Assisi wrote down the songs, and the tradition of singing them at Christmas and sharing them with friends and family carried on. In 1582, his collection of carols was published, upon which they became a standard for holiday celebrations throughout Europe and later the Americas.
