Excited by the coming Winter Solstice and the Yuletide Season of Good will, or perhaps just the figgy pudding ahead, Celestial Elf does a happy dance.
The tradition of Carol singing or wassailing falls into two distinct categories: The House-Visiting wassail and the Orchard-Visiting wassail. House-Visiting wassail, caroling by any other name, is the practice of people going door-to-door singing Christmas carols. The word Wassail comes from the Anglo-Saxon toast Wæs þu hæl, "be thou hale" — i.e., "be in good health". The practice has its roots in the middle ages as a reciprocal exchange between the feudal lords and their peasants as a form of recipient initiated charitable giving, to be distinguished from begging. This point is made in the song "Here We Come A-Wassailing", when the wassailers inform the lord of the house that
"we are not daily beggars that beg from door to door but we are friendly neighbors whom you have seen before."

The lord of the manor would give food and drink to the peasants in exchange for their blessing and goodwill, which would be given in the form of the song being sung. Wassailing is the background practice against which an English carol such as "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" dating back to sixteenth century England, can be made sense of.[4] The carol lies in the English tradition where wealthy people of the community gave Christmas treats to the carolers on Christmas Eve such as 'figgy puddings.

We wish you a Merry Christmas (x3)
and a Happy New Year.

REFRAIN Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Now! bring us some figgy pudding (x3)
and bring some out here. (or, and bring it us here)

REFRAIN For we all like figgy pudding (x3)
so bring some out here.

REFRAIN And we won't go until we've got some (x3)
so bring some out here.

REFRAIN It's a season for music (x3)

(Some versions print the refrain as "Glad tidings" instead of "Good tidings')
