[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people not do Christmas carolling during Christmas season?  As an immigrant, I was raised believing that carollers come to your house and sing...and you have to treat them with spiced cider and cakes.

:cry:  Please revive it so that Christmas becomes a more festive, communal and traditional festival for everyone.

My mom used to create a carolling group in our neighborhood during Christmas. But the truth is that people didn't like it enough. I remember the last year we did it, so many people weren't home, and the turnout was very low, and and it just didn't seem that festive. People seemed to be humoring us by listening and they definitely didn't treat us to cider or cake. It was just polite thank you and then closed doors. So we stopped.

I agree it's sad that it just doesn't seem to be a thing anymore. However in DC there are many, many places where you can go and see choirs or chorus groups singing carols. They just do it in more official public locations instead of going door to door. [/quote]
