01 Dec 00 - 05:03 PM (#349835) Subject: RE: Wassailing From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Tell us more about what you do and how. We don't really have anything like it around my neck of the woods. My chorus will be visiting the Community Kitchen and a local retirement home to sing in two weeks, but it isn't really wassailing. It isn't really a carol-sing, either. Just a performance. Who else wassails around here? |

01 Dec 00 - 05:09 PM (#349838) Subject: RE: Wassailing From: Jim Krause Over here where I live, we still have the tradition of caroling. This is where groups, church groups, or just groups of friends get together during Advent and go from house to house singing. Afterwards, there's usually some sort of a get together of the Carolers at some one's house for hot cider, hot chocolate, cookies and the like. Jim |

A stringent regemin of training is required all year long in order to be in shape for this event. D |

02 Dec 00 - 01:48 AM (#350054) Subject: RE: Wassailing From: *#1 PEASANT* No problem! I did just check out the pages- no trouble getting in or out. I even tried explorer.. I write the pages primairly in netscape composer so they are biased a bit toward netscape.... I have noted that my netscape version which is a recent model... sometimes developes problems... try cleaning cache out and then shutting off netscape. Check to see if it is still running somehow and shut that off then begin again. Good luck! Enjoy the pages. The Wassail Epicenter as well as almost all of our online work is done as a donation to the public of the world.

02 Dec 00 - 12:41 PM (#350190) Subject: RE: Wassailing From: McGrath of Harlow Here's a link to the Beerfordbury mob, a couple of miles up the road from Harlow, on the Herts Essex border (in England). Going wassailing with them can turn into a confusing kind of evening.
And I've been telling them to come visit the Mudcat for ages, so welcome here.
Wassail, wassail, |
