Gammerstang commented on the word Christmas wait
(noun) - Wait is an old English word allied to the German wachte, meaning a watchman. It was formerly applied to the court watchmen who blew their horns at certain hours of the night. The name has been extended to any outdoor instrumentalist who performed at night, particularly at Christmas. --J.B. Lippincott's Everyday Phrases Explained, 1913
