I miss that. You don't see it to much anymore, with crime on the rise and all. Go and have a great time. Be safe. i don't want to hear of any sad caroling accidents. Merry Christmas!

Christmas Carols are probably one of the oldest Christmas traditions that we practice today. Some can be traced back as far as the fifth century!
The carol came, not from the church, but from the common people who wished to express feelings that were not expressed in the sombre music of a church service. By the fourteenth century , carol singing was firmly established throughout Europe. It was also accompanied by dancing, which explains why so many have a lively tune.
During the sixteenth century, Oliver Cromwell and the Puritans, took over the government of England and actually outlawed the celebration of Christmas. Since, to be caught singing a Christmas Carol was a capital offense, their popularity died out during this period. The colonists, who came to this country to practice freedom of religion, unfortunately continued the Ban on Christmas. (Does this compute?)
It was not until Victoria came to the throne of England in the nineteenth century that caroling once again became popular. Many new carols began to appear and the protestant clergy actually began to teach them to their parishioners.
There is no particular style of music associated with carols. Their popularity probably stems, a great deal, from the nostalgia of them; the associations we have with certain carols and the glow they create in our hearts and minds.

You should be safe in numbers. I would enjoy it thoroughly if young people came to the house to sing Christmas carols. Try singing at the old folk's home.

It depends... do you and your friends trust each other and if you all feel safe enough. You might would like to do it when it's still daylight, but whenever you do it, then be sure to stay together. Stay safe though, no matter what! Happy Holidays... and Merry Christmas

Sure, but go to a safer place, like a homeless shelter or a retirement home. People in those places don't usually have guests or family around, so they would definately appreciate it.
