I've not seen Christmas Carolers at my house since we moved to Charlotte in 1998. In NYC we lived on Park Avenue next door to the Brick Presbyterian Church and our living and dining room windows looked right out onto Park Avenue and the Church so we enjoyed caroling annually by opening our windows.

    When we were growing up in Venice, Florida there would be several groups of Carolers singing each night of the week before Christmas.   My Grandparents and our family, and several neighbors, would come outside to enjoy the songs.   We would give the carolers hot cocoa and cookies.

My only experience with carolers and caroling is a group who frequently met caught the idea to carol at each others house. The intent worked well.

I seemed ten houses on either side and across the street come out to enjoy most likely a result of personal invite. That season we presented at five houses each Saturday for three weekends. This was an Ohio occurrence. 

That season in Ohio was my one and only experience caroling.

Here in Florida it's the golf cart parade, the boat parade, the fire department drives the streets lights flashing and siren sounding as they toss candy and yes, the Christmas parade where every kid with a bicycle is the star.

But no carolers.
