Born and brought up in Wakefield and we always called the Christmas tree baubles wessel (wassail) cups. In the South they look at us if we are barmy! On talking to a couple of Yorkshire friends they had never heard of it either. After extensive Googling the general opinion is that it is confined to the Wakefield area. Is it a quaint Yorkshire expression that has faded with time or do people still use the term?
