Description
Carol singing is definitely not as popular today as it used to be and when you do see people carol singing outside it is usually to raise money for charity etc.. It became more popular in the 19th century when people would go door-to-door singing carols for either food or money. Some say it was done to celebrate the joy of the season, others say it was way for the poor to sing for food, "singing for your supper" as the saying goes. Either way it is a tradition that I remember more back in England when I was a little girl, we always heard carol singers out in the street, just before Christmas.
