If someone uses the word "wassail" around Christmastime, she probably means "to go caroling from house to house." That contemporary meaning is connected to the original "drink to your health" meaning of the word by the old custom of offering a warm, spiced, and often alcoholic drink to the carolers.
The word itself is from two Old Norse words, ves heill, meaning "be healthy!" Perhaps it was originally used as a toast to the householder kind enough to give you something warm on a cold, snowy night of caroling.
