Hi all!
If you celebrated the New Year 2022 with noise and clamor, then another holiday is approaching - the Nativity of Christ. But before that, according to tradition, from January 6 to 7, caroling takes place throughout the country. The most basic attributes of this event are dressing up, that is, dressing up and reading and singing carols and songs. There are also games and fortune telling.
Do you even know what a carol is? To be honest, I had never even thought about this question before. But now I have to, and I’m sharing the information with you. It turns out that this word means “calendars”, it’s funny, it’s a song with wishes for a good life, wealth, good health and a great harvest.
Adults and children walked around the courtyards and apartments and sang songs, and those who opened the doors in response treated them with goodies. And this mood and the resulting charge of energy lasted for a couple of months. And a lot more positive emotions. I remember when I was a child I had to perform such tunes. Yes, it was very fun and funny.
These wonderful songs have practically no authors; they were all invented by the Russian people. They are performed mainly during the Christmas period, so to speak, certain Slavic rituals are carried out.
I suggest you take all these not too long texts and memorize them with your children, and then walk around and sing them. Good luck, let's go.
Short Christmas carols for children
Do you know how to carol correctly? And another question, when? That's right, in the evening of January 6-7. But, besides this, you should know some more features, which I will tell you about right now. Read and memorize, because it is very interesting, find out who the bell ringer, the mekhonosh and the star are. And the term caroling itself means the following (I made newspaper clippings):
Now let's move on directly to the rhymes and tunes themselves, choose any one you like and enchant everyone.

Triumph, rejoice, good people with me, And with delight put on the robe of holy joy. Now God has appeared in the world - God of gods and King of kings. Not in a crown, not in purple This Heavenly Priest. He was not born in chambers and not in cleaned houses. No gold was visible there, Where He lay in swaddling clothes. Inconceivable He fit into a cramped manger, like a poor man. Why was He born? Why is it so poor? In order to deliver us from the devil’s snares, to magnify and glorify us with our love, we will forever glorify God for such a day of celebration! Let me congratulate you on Christmas Day! We wish you many summers, many, many, many years.

Do you know that the most famous carol is Carol Of The Bells and, apparently, as I understand it, it has a Ukrainian origin.
This song is a ritual song and is sung at Christmas.
Keep the processed and finished composition from composer Nikolai Leontovich. And by the way, on January 13, the so-called Vasiliev's evening, which is called Generous, is celebrated. On this day you can also chant:
Shchedrik, Shchedrik, Shchedrovochka, A swallow has flown in. She began to chirp to herself and call the owner: “Come out, come out, owner, Look at the shed - The sheep lambed there, And the lambs were born. Your goods are all good, You will have more than a penny, Even if it’s not money, it’s chaff.” Your wife has black eyebrows. Shchedrik, Shchedrik, Shchedrovochka, A swallow has flown in.
Or here’s another tune that can be performed by groups in your city or village.
On a starry night Christ was born. He was laid in a simple manger. An angel descended from heaven into the field, He announced the news to the shepherds: “Rejoice, everyone - Christ has been born. He was laid in a simple manger.” Glory, glory, glory to God in the highest! Goodwill to all people! The angelic choir sang a song, proclaimed peace on earth.
Here are more carols for the Christmas holiday:
The night is quiet, the night is holy, People are sleeping, the distance is clear; Only in the stable the light is on; There the holy couple does not sleep, The Child slumbers in the manger.
The Child is dozing in the manger. The night is quiet, the night is holy, the heights are illuminated, a bright angel from heaven brings the news to the shepherds: “Christ has been born to you!” Christ was born to you!”
The night is quiet, the night is holy, A star is burning in the sky; The shepherds have been on the road for a long time, They are in a hurry to come to Bethlehem: There they will see Christ. They will see Christ there.
The night is quiet, the night is holy, All hearts await happiness. God, let me come to Christ and find bright joy in him. Glory forever, Christ! Glory forever, Christ!

About carols
Carols (carols, carol songs)
- calendar ritual songs of the Slavs, performed mainly during the Christmas period, during ritual house-to-house visits (caroling). Russian carols are completely alien to the love element found in Romanian Christmas songs. Having as their task the glorification of the person to whom they are sung, the expression of wishes for all sorts of good things, Russian carols are distinguished by their seriousness and sincerity. The content of these wishes varies depending on the gender, age and condition of the members of the host’s family to whom the carolers turn: the host is promised family happiness and prosperity, the girls are promised a happy marriage, the guy is promised to meet his betrothed. This desired carol, in an epic adaptation, represents it as realized: the owner lives in contentment and is happy with his family, the fellow is well done with love, etc. Carols that glorify the ideal of battle, promising the glory of military exploits, are probably among the most ancient.
