First displayed in 2009, the 7-foot "tree" was built with a 4x4 post for the "trunk" and ½" particle board used for shelving. The tree looks more like a tree with branches salvaged from an old Christmas tree and garland attached around each shelf. Decorations include over 100 beer bottles, each a different label; string lights of bottles and mugs, a village tavern with revelers; and many beer-themed ornaments and other related items, such as bottle caps and bottle openers.

Words Traditional.		Tune Traditional (Yorkshire).
1. Here we come a wassailing   Among the leaves so green, Here we come a wandering,   So fair to be seen.   CHORUS Love and joy come to you, And to you your wassail too, And God bless you and send you A happy new year. And God send you a happy New Year. 2. Our wassail-cup is made   Of the rosemary tree, And so is your beer   Of the best barley.             Love and joy, &c.	3. We are not daily beggars   That beg from door to door, But we are neighbour's children   Whom you have seen before.             Love and joy, &c. 4. Good Master and good Mistress,   As you sit by the fire, Pray think of us poor children   Who are wandering in the mire.             Love and joy, &c. 5. We have a little purse   Made of ratching leather skin; We want some of your small change   To line it well within.             Love and joy, &c.	6. Call up the Butler of this house,   Put on his golden ring; Let him bring us a glass of beer,   And the better we shall sing.             Love and joy, &c. 7. Bring us out a table,   And spread it with a cloth; Bring us out a mouldy cheese,   And some of your Christmas loaf.             Love and joy, &c. 8. God bless the Master of this house,   Likewise the Mistress too; And all the little children   That round the table go.             Love and joy, &c.
