 Sing hey! Sing hey! For Christmas DayTwine mistletoe and holly For friendship glows In winter snows, And so let’s all be jolly.~Anon. ,“An Old Christmas Greeting” Villagers all, this frosty tide, Let your doors swing open wide,Though wind may follow and snow betide,Yet draw us in by your fire to bide:Joy shall be yours in the morning.~Kenneth Grahame, from The Wind in the Willows (1908) Here we come a-wassailing Among the leaves so green; Here we come a-wand’ring So fair to be seen.~from “Here We Come A-Wassailing”  Blow, North Wind, blow, All the leaves are falling;Cold, frost and snowWinter comes a-calling.~Margaret Morgan, “Winter”
