Carolling - Is it Extinct?? Ok, I just had the two most adorable carolers -- maybe 6 & 9 year old boys -- that sang me "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"; I gave them each a dollar. I have never had carolers before, so I didn't know how much to give! Does anyone take their kids carolling? Does anyone get carolers?? |
Wow...how sweet! I used to see carolers when I lived in Minnesota but since I have been in AZ it's been NADA. With the weather you would think it would be just the opposite. I don't think with all of the school programs that caroling is that common anymore so it will be interesting to see how things are in other areas of the country. |
I didn't know you got PAID !!! :eek: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: All those times we did it as a kid and we could have been banking it ? Know any good songs ? I got a boom box ;) ;) never mind...IF someone went carroling in my neighborhood they'd probably get a gun pulled on them...that's really cute Kristy - I think they walked away happy ! |

the youth group from our church goes carroling every year. :D |
I know that alot of schools no longer teach carols, simply because they are a religous thing, and many people feel that by teaching them those carols are promoting a certain relgion, which in my opinion is very sad! Same thing with them not allowing them to call a Christmas tree a christmas tree. Now it has to be called a holiday tree. I think the traditions which were once loved by sooo many will be NONEXISTANT in just a few short years, just because a few people don't believe in it. I used to go carolling all the time as a child, but around here anymore, it doesn't happen. Very sad in my opinion. I would love to see carollers. But how sweet that you got sang to!!! Very very sweet!!!!! |
We live in a small community and we usually get a group of carolers that come almost every year. When I was a kid we used to do it often, we would go to hospitals and nursing homes too. It was always lots of fun and sure made the season bright! |
I sent them. You seemed a little down over finals. Did they sing Amarillo By Morning like I asked? |

We don't get carollers that come to our house, but I am in my high school's choir and this weekend we are going to sing carols at the mall. |
I have never been carolling or had carollers.. How sad is that.. The closest I've seen is on tv. :( |
I don't know what is cuter! The carollers or you giving them a dollar ;) That is too sweet, I have never had any but I hope I do! |

I think it's extinct around here. It's a shame. We used to go out every year when I was a kid. People would give us money or treats. We weren't the best singers so they might have been paying us to go away. It was so much fun. |
I haven't see any carolers here in NYC. I use to go carolling in Puerto Rico, what is called " Parrandas".I have great memories. We didnt get money, instead we were invited inside and offer food and drinks. :) |
