The CarolingThe Caroling
Winter tradition in Romania
Traditionally, during the first hours after dark onChristmas' Eve is the time for children to go caroling and theadults stay home to greet them. As they go caroling fromhouse to house, the children receive treats like candy, fruit, baked treats and sometimes even money in appreciation of their performance and as a sign of holiday good will.
The grown-ups caroling goes on Christmas eveningand night. The waits -young and mature people - gather ingroups and they choose a leader. When they are in the frontyard of a house, they perform their repertory to the host. Thesongs are always accompanied by dance. When the performance is over, the host invites the carolers inside thehouse for food, drinks and presents.
