Wassailing we will go

Wassailing we will go

A Poem by Patricia Wedel

Sleigh bells Jingle as we ride in a
 
one horse open sleigh... 

where snow falls softly as a song.   

Children skating on frozen ponds  

where Swans would glide... 

in Summertime Operettes.  

A blessed world of Minuets and music 

17th century dance in three-quarters time... 
 
Wassailing we will go.

Good morning. Had to Google " wassailing" Once done brought back memories, happy long ago memories, of trying to scrounge money by knocking doors and Carol singing, this often fruitless and us sent packing with "clear off" ringing in our lugs.
Merry Christmas Patricia

I could almost hear carols in the background while reading your words, Pat. The joys of winter....ice skating and caroling. Brings back sweet memories. I liked this one. Lydi**

Lovely scene Patricia. Those open ponds we skated on as kids are long gone...too dangerous I guess...and we don't get the kind of snow we used too...that's Ok, I hate shoveling nowadays.
We went wassailing on the 19th and it was a fun evening.

It's a good time of year...a season of hope.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours.
