A Christmas Holiday Isn’t Complete Without Carols
A Christmas Holiday Isn’t Complete Without Carols
One of the many Christmas traditions people celebrate is caroling. This tradition is said to go back to centuries ago when people would gather and sing in a religious gathering while others say the history of caroling has nothing to do with religion and is instead given the outdated term of wassailing.
No one knows with one hundred per cent certainty but both sides agree it did involve a group of people known as carolers. Legend has it that this group of carolers gathered together and sang in order to be fed, hence the term, “sing for your supper.” Whichever version is correct, as time passed, door to door caroling died down somewhat but is still very much a tradition especially in smaller towns with a close knit population. For many people, today’s modern caroling involves carolers singing in Christmas parades, at church functions and in private homes.
