Wassailing? Sounds great. Here's the etymology from The Free Dictionary ... just in case you didn't know:
[Middle English, contraction of wæshæil, be healthy, from Old Norse ves heill : ves, imperative sing. of vera, to be; see wes-1 in Indo-European roots + heill, healthy; see kailo- in Indo-European roots.]
And here is how I applied that etymological knowledge to my wife.
Ooooh...that sounds WONDERFUL! And healthy too. One of my favorite winter rituals is similar...apple cider with friends on a cold cold night. Around a fire...even better! I love the "mulling spices" mix that you can get at some specialty stores. The caramel apple flavor is yummy. I'm sure it's all sugar, but it warms you up good! :) That will be perfect for some cold nights in Bozeman!
