One of my favorite "old timey" Christmas carols for today:

The Wassail Song



"Love and joy come to you, and to you your wassail too, and God bless you and send you a happy new year; God send you a happy new year."

Wassail, it is my understanding, is from the old Saxon phrase "Waes hael," which means "be well." - so it is doubly (triply?) wishing well to the hearer.
