盎格鲁-撒克逊人的传统规定,每年年初,庄园主会向聚集在一起的众人致以祝酒词。 ǞǞǞǞ 意义 "要好 "或 "要健康",他的追随者会这样回答 饮酒hael、 或 "喝好",因此新年的庆祝活动会从一两杯开始,甚至可能多喝一滴!很可能在基督教从600年左右开始在整个英国传播之前,这种庆祝活动就已经在进行了很多年。

根据你所居住的国家地区,瓦舍尔酒本身一般由加热的麦芽酒、葡萄酒或苹果酒组成,与香料、蜂蜜和可能的一两个鸡蛋混合,全部装在一个大碗里,在传统的 "瓦舍尔 "问候声中从一个人传到另一个人。

庆祝活动一般在1月5日的第十二夜举行,然而更传统的人仍然坚持在 "老十二 "或1月17日庆祝,这是正确的日期;那是在1752年引入公历把事情搞乱之前。

饮酒有两种截然不同的形式。 一种是成群结队的欢乐者从一家到另一家,手捧饮酒碗,唱着传统歌曲,普遍传播欢乐和美好的愿望。 另一种形式的饮酒一般在农村进行,特别是在水果种植区,在那里祝福的是树木。

在整个中世纪,打猎的做法在英格兰继续存在,作为一种方式,封建庄园主可以通过赠送金钱和食物来换取打猎者的祝福和歌曲,从而向那些为他服务的人展示慈善的季节性善意;

"爱和欢乐来到你身边、

和你的瓦萨里;

和上帝保佑你,并送你

新年快乐"。

挨家挨户的传统已经演变成我们现在所认识的颂歌,即一群人挨家挨户地唱圣诞颂歌。 然而,在这些颂歌的字里行间仍然可以发现原始做法的某些方面;当挨家挨户的要求开始时,请仔细聆听、 "现在给我们一些无花果布丁" 然后当这些要求转变成威胁时 "在我们得到一些之前,我们是不会走的" .

饮酒,或对果树的祝福,包括对果树的健康饮酒和唱歌,希望它们在秋天提供丰收。 这一古老的习俗今天仍在全国各地实行,在英格兰的苹果酒产区,如萨默塞特、德文郡、赫里福德郡、肯特郡和苏塞克斯郡尤其流行。

庆祝活动因地区而异,但一般都是由酒王和酒后带领由农民、农场工人和普通村民组成的狂欢者队伍从一个果园游行到另一个果园。 在每个果园里,酒徒们聚集在最大和最好的树周围,作为给树灵的礼物,酒后将一块浸泡过酒的吐司放在树上。到它的树枝上,伴随着歌曲,如:;

"苹果树,苹果树,我们都来为你欢呼、

承担今年和明年的开花和吹风、

帽子满了,帽子满了,三个角的麻袋满了......"

然后,打猎者们继续前往下一个果园;唱歌、喊叫、敲打锅碗瓢盆,甚至发射猎枪,总之尽可能地制造噪音,以便既能唤醒沉睡的树灵,又能吓跑可能潜伏在树枝上的邪恶魔鬼。

第十二夜庆祝活动,班克斯德,伦敦,2010年1月3日

如前所述,全国各地在新的或旧的第十二夜都有庆祝苹果树扬帆起航的习俗。 其他古老的扬帆起航传统每年也在伦敦实行,那里的班克斯德姆默斯和霍利人将 "带来绿色 "和 腰带 人民和泰晤士河。
