In many parts of the United States and Canada groups of people walk from hose to house and sing Christmas carols. Some people give singers money or small gifts or invite them for a warm drink. Sometimes carol-singers can be heard on the streets as they collect money for charity.

On Christmas Eve there are evening church services which everyone attends. They listen to readings from Bible and singing Christmas carols. On Christmas Day, there are other religious ceremonies at churches which families attend before they make their rounds to visit their friends and relatives.

яarols are sung and heard during the holiday season. There are different types of carols: old traditional songs in English, German, Spanish, French and other languages, religious songs and modern American songs. Christmas carols, both religious and secular, capture the spirit and excitement of the season.
