    so for some reason i thought wassailing was when british people made a punch and took it around other people's houses and had them drink it... i was trying to convince my housemates we should do this and they were like no that's creepy and that's not even what that is and then i got sad

    Why can't you all go sing at trees in anticipation of good harvest, and be rewarded with cider, instead?

    I see precisely no mention of signing AT TREES to ensure bountiful harvests, so it's less you.

    Well wassailing in orchards involves singing at trees, which is majestic and so are you. Should be obvious; do you even cider?

    I have no idea what wassailing is, but wassail is gross. Eggnog is much better.

    I have great wassil recipe. Believe that.
    But the Puerto Rican communtiy here in FL wins the badassery award for a tradition called Parranda. You basically start your party at one house, head to another house and party there, everyone leaves and goes to another house, collects the participants there...and you keep moving from house to house until you end you end in some hugeass Puerto Rican rave at someone's house at the end.

    in a sense. after the punch connects, the wassailer may hear drums and chanting in the mind's eye of the tiger.
