Bring holiday cheer to all those around you by serenading them with Christmas Carols. Gather a group of friends, dress warmly, and have some fun!
Celebrate the season with a Christmas Caroling Party. This type of get together is easy to pull off at the last minute, and it's sure to bring joy to all involved. Follow the guidelines below for your own perfect Caroling Party!
Invitations
- You can get together a group of friends on the spur of the moment just by calling them or emailing them. Conversely, you can plan ahead and send out more formal invitations.
- Make sure that your guests dress for the weather, and that they wear appropriate walking shoes.
Party
- As your guests arrive, give them a bite to eat and something to drink to keep them satiated during the caroling.
- Hand out song sheets or booklets, that you've prepared in advance.
- Set out at the designated time to spread your holiday cheer. In some instances, it's a good idea to let your neighbors know that you'll be caroling. That way, you're guaranteed that people will be home to enjoy your singing, and they may even have a treat or two to share with your group.
- If desired, you can use your holiday caroling party as a means to collect money or food donations for the charity of your choice.
- The caroling portion of the party should last between one and two hours -- use your own judgment and the stamina of your group to determine the length of your Caroling Party.
Afterwards
- Thank your caroling friends with hot chocolate or hot buttered rum and Christmas cookies.
- The beauty of this type of party, is that you can repeat it multiple times throughout the month of December. Each time you host it, target a different neighborhood, so that many people can enjoy your holiday cheer!
