There is an ancient tradition to carry good cheer to the community at Christmastide. This is a party for friends to gather around a jug of punch, cider, mead or mulled wine. It in some spices into the liquid. Raise your glass and drink to today! Dress up in bright colours and carry a sprig of Rosemary.
On 12th night after Christmas Eve, take a bowl or jug filled with cider, toasted bread, any flowers you can find in the garden, and ginger and cinnamon. Sprinkle the liquid with a sprig of Rosemary on to the fruit trees saying “Here’s to thee, old fruit tree! And when thou Mayes blossom and blow, hat’s full, and cap’s full and my own pockets too. Peace and goodness be among you”.
