Today is
The tradition of singing carols has roots in pagan celebrations of the Winter Solstice. The Victorian era saw a surge in caroling, and many popular caroling songs that people sing today were written during this era.
Though caroling isn't quite as popular as it once was, it’s still a tradition many families, communities, and churches carry on every year.
Go Caroling Day is an easy celebration that spreads joy and cheer. If you’ve never caroled before, select 3-4 easier songs and friends who are in the holiday spirit. Not everyone can carry a tune, but that won’t matter when you’re surrounded by friends and family who share in the fun. Visit friends and neighbors and nursing homes singing the songs with all the joy in your heart and a smile in your face. Afterward, return home for hot chocolate and cookies. Caroling is a simple way to give back to others. Try it!
Merry Christmas! 🎄
