Go Caroling Day

Go Caroling Day is a fun Christmas holiday that was once popular. Unfortunately, it was replaced by other activities… But can they really replace this wonderful pastime? We are sure not!

History

On dat, the worshipers of traditions go from one house to another, knock on doors and sing songs. Not only ordinary people take part, but also professional choirs, giving the listeners beautiful singing. It really inspires and lifts the festive mood. Visiting neighbors, congratulating, wishing you a good weekend and happiness was always welcome.

Some researchers are sure that caroling arose in 1223, others reckon it to the 19th century.

In addition, Christmas Eve is considered the most commercial.
