    RE: Wassail Cup - Apparently its a bauble???

    The cup was decorated and hung from a tree; but it's only really known like this around Barnsley. Elsewhere it's a big wooden cup, but in Yorkshire and in Barnsley especially it was small and decorated. Also instead of Baubles people used to hang apples from the tree (which is why we have round baubles today). wassail is a kind-of apple mulled wine.
    It's an old Pagan thing, but then so are Christmas trees.
