The Apple Tree Wassail : 2-Chord Carols

What I Love About this Carol

Quite simply, I love the joyous ridiculousness of this wassail tune … the very thought of walking out to your apple trees in the middle of winter, spreading some good cider on their roots, and singing a boisterous song to them (all to bring in a bountiful harvest the next season) puts a bemused smirk on my face and cheers my heart. You don’t have to have apple trees to enjoy a sip of homemade wassail and singing with friends.
