For your amusement,
We're screwed!

Get everyone here!
We will shower you with happiness,
For that you will treat us!

Cockerel with a comb!

Bom-bom-bom

Let's wish you well!

Kolyada, Kolyada
Open the gates

Or maybe a coin
Don't regret anything
It's Christmas Eve!

We are ditties for carols
Let's sing cheerfully,
Treat us sweeter,
Otherwise we’ll be offended and leave!

Kolyada, Kolyada!
Open the gate!

A piece of bread
A pot of sour cream!
Won't you serve any pies?
We let in bedbugs,
Mustached cockroaches
And striped animals!

Kolyada, Kolyada,
Come from far away
Once a year
Let's admire it for an hour.
We're crackling with the frost,
With a prickly cold,
With white snows,
With a blizzard, with blizzards.
Scooters - sleighs
We drove ourselves -
From village to village,
Kolyada is fun.

Who lives in this house
God give him joy!
Whole bins of happiness,
Let them enjoy winter!
We want just a little,
Pies only for the road!

The Holy Spirit descended from heaven
And said Christ was born
We came to glorify Christ
Congratulations on your holiday

Well, good hostess,
Hurry up and give us some candy!
We bring happiness and joy to the house,
We're still waiting for the pies!
There will be day and there will be food,
Kolyada will not forget you!

Open the gates
A carol is coming to the house!
Kolyada is coming into the house
Brings happiness with you!
We are waiting for sweets from you,
Hello pies!
There will be peace in that house
Who are we singing songs to?

Carol

Kolya-kolya-kolyada -
For troubles – “No!”, but for happiness – “Yes!”
Happy New Year, Merry Christmas:
We wish you peace in your home,
And health and goodness,
And heartfelt warmth!
Kolya-kolya-kolyada -
For troubles - “No!”, but for happiness “Yes!!!”
(N. Samonii)

A carol came
Christmas Eve
Who will give me some pie?
So the barn is full of cattle,
Ovin with oats,
A stallion with a tail!
Who won't give me the pie?
That's why a chicken leg
Pestle and shovel
The cow is hunchbacked.

Good evening to good people!
May the holiday be merry.
Merry Christmas to you.
We wish you happiness and joy!
Generous evening, good evening!
Good health to good people!

Good auntie,
Give me some sweet cakes.
Kolyada-molyada,
On the eve of Christmas,
Give it, don't break it,
Give everything whole.
If you drop a little one,
You can’t even pray to God.
Won't you serve me some flatbread?
Let's break the windows.
Won't you serve me the pie?
Let's lead the cow by the horns.

Carols go on holy evenings,
The carol comes to Pavly-Selo.
Get ready, villagers,
Let's have carols!
Open the chest
Get out the piglet!
Open up, peddlers,
Get your pennies!
Come, don't be shy,
Now we'll amuse the people.
Who will be the devil and who will be the devil!
And who doesn't want anyone
Let him laugh for a nickel!

Kolyada, Kolyada,
We open all the houses,
All the windows, chests,
We give sweets and pies,
So that it would be good for you,
Say thank you to heaven
God will give us all health,
After all, he is good at this!

Kolyada, Kolyada,
It's Christmas Eve!
Good auntie,
The pie is delicious
Don't cut, don't break,
Serve it quickly
Two, three,
We've been standing for a long time
Let us not stand!
The stove is heating up
I want some pie!

Ding-ding-ding, the bells are ringing,
Sons and daughters have come to you,
You meet carolers,
Greet us with a smile!

Kolyada arrived on the eve of Christmas.
God bless whoever is in this house.
We wish good things to all people:
Gold, silver,
Lush pies,
Soft pancakes
Good health,
Cow butter.

A star is shining in the sky,
At the hour of Holy Christmas...
Kolyada came,
I went around all the houses,
I knocked on doors and windows,
She walked and laughed and played...
And behind the noisy Kolyada,
Carolers in a crowd...
Everyone rejoices and laughs,
They sing a loud song:
“Kolyada was born,
On the eve of Christmas..."

We ask for your health,
And we carry candles for happiness!
Let it be in your yard.
There will be a mountain of gold!
Well, you will treat us,
Don't drive away the carol!
Otherwise a year will pass
It won't bring anything!

Kolyada, Kolyada,
Who won't give me the pie?
We take the cow by the horns
Who won't give donuts,
We hit him in the face,
Who won't give a penny?
That's a neck on the side.

Christmas is a bright, cozy and family holiday. In the Christian tradition, it symbolizes the birth of Jesus Christ, who was destined to give his life to atone for human sins. Christmas brings hope for the best and faith in goodness, therefore, regardless of our attitude towards religion, many try to adhere to beautiful Christmas traditions and customs.

On the eve of Christmas, on Christmas Eve (Holy Evening) - January 6, all households gather at a generous table, which should have 12 dishes. This is the last day of a 40-day fast, so food should be lean and consist of vegetables and fruits. The number 12 itself also has a symbolic meaning: these are the 12 apostles of Christ in the Last Supper, and the 12 months of the year. Kutya and uzvar are the main dishes on the Christmas table.

As soon as the first star appears, the festive dinner begins, which could last from 2 to 4 hours. After the meal they began to sing carols. The ritual of caroling came to us from the ancient Slavs and was associated with the winter solstice and the birth of the god Kolyada. Carolers dressed up in costumes and walked around the courtyards, announcing the birth of the new Sun with carol songs. With the adoption of Christianity, caroling was preserved, but it glorified the birth of Christ.

They went caroling in groups, among which was a star who carried a star, a bell ringer with bells to notify everyone that the carolers were coming, and a bell bearer who carried a bag for gifts. The carolers glorified Christmas and wished the owners of the house well-being and prosperity. No one dared to drive away the carolers, as this was considered a great sin.

Today you can support the good tradition of caroling with your children. They can make a cardboard star, take a bell and a gift bag, learn a few carols and sing them to relatives and neighbors. Remind them that they must first ask the hosts for permission and wish them well.

We'll call you by phone

We came to carol
Merry Christmas to you!

Merry Christmas
We came here with goodness
Give us some,
Pie for the path,
So that happiness comes to you,
May you be lucky in everything,
May the Lord give you health,
We sing carols out of sadness!

I'm caroling, I'm caroling
I will go into any hut.
I'll ask the hostess:
Let's have some sweets.
And cookies and sweets,
And sorbet with nuts,
And halva and chocolate,
Pastille and marmalade,
Yummy ice-cream,
Sweet cake.
We will eat ourselves
And treat each other
And the mistress, oh the mistress
Good words to remember!

Kolyada, Kolyada,
Give me some pie
Or a loaf of bread,
Or half a buck,
Or a chicken with a crest,
Cockerel with a comb!
Open the chests, owners,
Take out your heels!
Give a penny to the carolers!

The sparrow flies
Twirls his tail,
And you people know
Cover the tables
Receive guests
Happy Christmas!

For carols, for carols,
We'll collect chocolates
Tangerines, buns,
Eat, my darlings!

Good evening to good people!
May the holiday be merry.
Merry Christmas to you.
We wish you happiness and joy!
Generous evening, good evening!
Good health to good people!

Carols, carols, carols -
Pancakes are good with honey!
And without honey - it’s not like that, Give me some pies, aunt!

We are carol-carolers
We'll sing it right into your ears.
Give me some sweet candies
May the Lord send you children.
Give me some crisp money,
So that there is happiness in the house.
Give me a handful of coins, master.
Merry Christmas!

A carol came to us,
On the eve of Christmas,
Give us goodness in our hand,
And in return, get
Wealth, happiness and warmth,
The Lord will send it to you,
So be generous
Don't be offended by us for anything!

Kolyada, Kolyada, invite me from the yard!
We'll come to your house now
And we will dance and sing.
We glorify the owners,
We wish them happiness!
Kolyada, Kolyada, fun for you, food for us.
Don’t be stingy, share, here’s a bag, a pie – here!

Immediately after celebrating the New Year holidays, a bright, cozy and family holiday comes to us - this is the Nativity of Christ. In the Christian tradition, it symbolizes the birth of Jesus Christ, who was destined to give his life to atone for human sins. Christmas brings hope for the best and faith in goodness. The Nativity of Christ is celebrated on January 7, and this holiday has been rich in customs since ancient times. This includes strict fasting until the first star on Christmas Eve on January 6, and lighting a candle on the windowsill on the night of January 7, which was a sign that the Blessed Virgin Mary and Righteous Joseph could find refuge in this house, and, of course, carols.

Let's remember what carols and caroling are. We caroled on the eve of Christmas, from January 6 to 7. After the Holy Supper on January 6, children and adults dressed up in bright costumes, put on various masks and went from house to house with mischievous jokes and sang special congratulations - Christmas carols. And on the morning of January 7, they sang Christmas songs and wished everyone a Merry Christmas.

Caroling was like a kind of Slavic carnival. Many smeared their faces with beets or soot and dressed up as “gypsies” or “goats” and “bears.” Carolers were allowed to misbehave a little, but in a kind way. And no one was allowed to stop them, just as it was impossible not to open the door for them if they knocked on the gate. Some of them glorified their owners, others blasphemed them. Kicking out the carolers was shameful and even dangerous. But the owners had to generously treat the carolers, then in return they received wishes for success and wealth. Young people used not only simple and short Russian carols, but also sarcastic poems with scares and witticisms. Masked carolers were invited into the house, treated to food, and thanked for their performances with sweets and money.

Kolyadka(from the Latin “calends” - the name of the first day of the month among the ancient Romans) or carol song is a ritual song with wishes for wealth, good health, and a good harvest, which is performed during the Christmas holidays (mainly on the night before Christmas). These songs were invented by the people, they do not have a specific author, and they vividly convey the spirit of the holiday. As a rule, a carol is a small Christmas story about the greatest event and the glorification of the main persons of that night, which brought the most joyful, most important news - the Savior of the world was born! Carolers always bring a special atmosphere of festive fun to the house along with carols. Very often, carolers go from house to house with a homemade star attached to a pole. It symbolizes the Star of Bethlehem, which led the Three Magi, wise men from the East, to the cave where Christ was born.

The caroling ended with general fun, rolling down the hills, and a common feast. Nowadays, children and young people most often go to caroling. In Christmas carols, it is customary to glorify Christ, congratulate the owner and mistress of the house, and ask them for treats.

Today you can support the good tradition of caroling with your children. They can make a cardboard star, take a bell and a gift bag, learn a few carols and sing them to relatives and neighbors. Remind them that they must first ask the hosts for permission and wish them well.

Short Christmas carols for children

short and naughty carols

Kolyada- a traditional pagan holiday among Slavic peoples associated with the winter solstice. In ancient times this holiday was called the holiday of Kolyada or Korotun. It fell on December 21st. People believed that it was on this day that the Sun was eaten by the snake Korotun. The all-powerful goddess Kolyada in the Dnieper waters gave birth to a new sun - little Bozhich. The pagans tried to protect the newborn. They drove away Korotun, who tried to eat the new Sun, and then went from house to house to inform people about the birth of the new Sun, and they carried an image of this sun with them.

This tradition has been preserved to this day. With the rising of the first star in the sky, mummered carolers entered the yard, woke up the owner and sang majestic songs to his family about the sun, moon, and stars. Later, the majestic songs that the mummers sang began to be called carols or carols.

With the advent of Christianity in Rus', a church Christian holiday is celebrated on the holiday of Kolyada and now it is dedicated to Christmas and Christmastide (cf. Kolo - circle). During the carol, mummers (dressed in costumes using skins, masks and horns) went from house to house and sang majestic ritual songs of the winter cycle - carols in which they congratulated the birth of Christ, glorified the owners of the house, and wished health and a rich harvest to the family in the new year.

Christmas carol songs

The evening on Christmas Eve is the most magical and unusual of the year. Outside the window covered with frost, dusk gradually thickens, a dense sheet of snow warms the ground and plunges it into a deep sleep. There is unreal silence all around. But as soon as the shine of the first star appears in the gloomy sky, everyone is happy to realize that the holiday has begun!

The closest and dearest people gather around one table, in the center of which is traditional kutia. Before the meal, unmarried girls run out into the frosty courtyard to tell fortunes, and hospitable housewives drive away evil spirits from the house and attract prosperity with ancient rituals. But the most interesting thing begins after the feast. A wonderful Christmas night is coming. Not a trace remains of the former silence: cheerful laughter, poems and songs of carolers in costumes can be heard from everywhere.

Caroling is not just an ancient folk custom, it is a tradition that has come down to this day from our ancestors.

Today the rules of caroling look like this:

• January 6 (Holy Evening) - caroling
• January 7 (Christmas) - Christmas
• January 13 (Venerable Melania) - generous
• January 14 (Old New Year) - sowing

Mother winter has come.
Open the gates!
Christmas time has arrived!
The carols have arrived!
Kolyada-molyada!

Kalidim, Kalidim I am alone with my dad,
My dad sent me
So that I can get bread.
I don’t want bread, give me some sausage,
If you don't give me the sausage, I'll destroy the whole house.

The pig ran away from Maksimka,
Yes, I ruined the carol,
And you, boy,
Don't walk, don't walk
And collect the carols, collect them...

Christmas carols have arrived
On a linden sleigh.
The sleigh is broken
The shirts got dirty,
And the carols are lost...

Kolyada, Kolyada!
And sometimes Kolyada
On the eve of Christmas.
Kolyada has arrived
Christmas brought.

Vasilyeva's mother
I went to be generous
Scatter wheat across the field.
Germinate, God, wheat,
Barley, buckwheat.

So that your home is cheerful,
Beauty bloomed all around
So that you give good things,
They thanked you the same way.

Damn, give me a loaf,
pork leg,
A little bit of everything!
Carry it - don't shake it,
Come on - don't break it!

Kolyada comes - it's a fairy tale
Happiness, snow, skates, sleds!
Lights on the Christmas tree and children's laughter!
And general joy for everyone!
And now for our congratulations,
Rely on candy and cookies!

Then I will give you a hundred years of happiness!

Let's talk about it in general.
Generous evening, oh good evening.

Good evening, generous evening,
Good health to good people.
What have you made, auntie?
What did you bake, auntie?
Carry it quickly to the window.
Don't pinch, don't break,
But in general, come on.

Carol songs for children and adults

Since ancient times, pagan motifs and Christian overtones have been closely intertwined in Christmas carols. Each stanza glorified the birth of Jesus, thanked the Lord and invited goodness, peace, love, respect, a rich harvest, and prosperity into the home of the owners. Well, if the carolers were greeted poorly or rudely, then such gentlemen were ridiculed. After all, those who wanted to carol had to know a lot of beautiful poems and songs in order to honor each home and hospitable hosts. Carolers are an integral part of the winter holidays, and refusing them, according to popular beliefs, is tantamount to sin.

And in order not to offend your hospitable hosts, you need to know how to properly carol for children on January 6 and 7 for Christmas and the Old New Year. According to all customs, a man or a boy is the first to enter the yard and house. Before starting caroling, guests must certainly ask permission from the hosts, and then bow and thank them for the gifts. Sweets, gingerbread and other gifts cannot be passed from hand to hand. Generous donors are obliged to put them straight into the carolers' bag!

A group of carolers must consist of at least three people:

• The first is the Zvezdar, carrying an eight-pointed star - a symbol of the birth of Jesus;
• The second is the Bell Ringer, who notifies with a ringing bell the approach of a cheerful company of carolers;
• The third is Mekhonosha, carrying a bright bag with caroled wealth, embroidered with stars and other elements;
• The fourth and subsequent ones are everyone who wants to carol and sing songs in traditional costumes, the number of which will only make the company louder, more active and more fun;

Koleda - moleda,
White beard
The nose is flat,
The head is like a basket,

Hands like sabers,
Legs like rakes,
Come New Year's Eve
Celebrate honest people!

Joy and happiness come to the house,
After New Year's Eve
Christmas is coming
The kids are going caroling!

Congratulations on the carol

So that there is prosperity in the house
And everything was smooth in the family!

Caroling, caroling
From family to family we wander

We'll buy the candy ourselves
And also a handful of nuts,
And let's take a thimble of wine!

Open up stranger
And give me a piece of gold.
I'm singing carols
I sing without looking back

I can't sleep at night
And scream songs.
Think how sweet it is
Sleep without carols!

We carol, we carol,
We pamper people in their homes,
To whom we prophesy happiness.
Who needs quiet nights with a child!

And to whom we give health,
Reward us with love!
We love to eat delicious food
Who has candy?

We go, we go home,
We spread happiness to you all!
Who has good news?
Give me two hundred grams of sweets!

To whom we wish health,
Give us gifts with love!
And to whom we wish wealth,
Get some delicious food!

Kolyada is fun!
Give us some pie
Give me a pot of sour cream.
A piece of white bread.

Kolyada is cheerful,
Won't you serve me the pie?
I'll be offended, my friend,
I'll take it as an enemy.

Kolyada has come to your house,
Happiness and joy will be in him!
Do you want money and health?
Surround us with love.

Put some candy in a bag
Live in joy for 100 years.
Give me some pies on the way,
Under the loud ringing of bells.

Adults and children,
Open the doors
Turn off the networks
You are not on the Internet.

Open your wallets
Give out rubles
Open the kitchen cabinet
We are waiting for bagels from you.

Merry Christmas
We came here with goodness
Give us some,
Pie for the path,

So that happiness comes to you,
May you be lucky in everything,
May the Lord give you health,
We sing carols out of sadness!

Heaven gave to Christ
Christmas star.
Earth with love and faith
Gave the Baby a cave.

The angels praised with singing.
Preserving purity, beauty,
Chastity and humility
Mother Mary breathed into Christ.

Sat at the window
I cut the cloth.
And the leftovers are for the owners’ hats,
And the scraps and for the belts,
Hello, happy holiday!

The best children's carols for Christmas

Children especially love caroling and willingly take part in caroling. After all, caroling is a whole action, a performance where there is a place for everyone. This is not just a collection of beautiful Christmas poems and songs. This cheerful action is intended, first of all, to correctly set the festive mood and call on higher powers for help in all endeavors in the coming year. Therefore, in order for it to look like an action, the carolers had to dress up festively. Many people wear masks or symbolic outfits, and this tradition comes from time immemorial.

But not only costumes are used for caroling; we must not forget about important attributes. And the main one is an octagonal star on a long pole. More bells, an elegant bag and a nativity scene. As a rule, a star is made with your own hands from cardboard and foil, and then placed on a long stick.

Christ the Savior
Born at midnight.
In a poor den
He settled.

Here above the nativity scene
The star is shining.
Christ the Master,
On your birthday

Give it to all the people
World of enlightenment!

And God forbid that
Who's in this house?
The rye is thick for him,
Dinner rye!

He's like an ear of octopus,
From the grain he has a carpet,
Half-grain pie.
The Lord would grant you

And living and being,
And wealth!

I'm caroling, I'm caroling
I will go into any hut.
I'll ask the hostess:
- Come on, some goodies!

And cookies and sweets,
And sherbet with nuts,
Pastille and marmalade -
I will be glad to receive any gifts.

I will treat everyone
And praise the hostess!

Auntie the hostess
Give us a nice little cake.
There's a carol going on
On the eve of Christmas.

Auntie the hostess
Pack without haste
And add more to the bag
delicious nuts.

Won't you serve us the cake?
There will be shame, there will be disgrace.

Kolyada, Kolyada
Christmas Eve
Damn and flatbread
Owner Alyoshka

Give me a nickel, auntie
I won't leave home like this!!
A little boy
Sat down on a glass

And the glass is fragile
Give me a rub, mistress!!!

Tausen, tausen,
We go to everyone!
Who won't give jelly -
I'll spray it at the gate.

Who won't give you a donut -
I'm a sheep's armpit.
Tausen, tausen!
Cook, grandma, jelly -

On the hill
In the skull.

Hey, beautiful hawthorns!
Hey, naughty girls!
Open the doors wider,
Let the guests in!

Your neighbors are close to you:
Not high, not low,
Not wide, not narrow,
All boyars are purely Russian!

We did not come to you with a hindrance,
And with fun and amusement.

Kolyada, Kolyada
Open the gates
Get out the chests
Serve the snouts.

Even a ruble
Even a nickel
Let's not leave home like that!
Give us some candy

Or maybe a coin
Don't regret anything
It's Christmas Eve!

Kolyada - molyada
I entered a new gate!
And behind it comes the frost
It has grown over the tyn!

He brought cold
So, grandfather Arkhip
Became young!
The frost is small

Yes, he doesn’t tell me to stand!
The frost does not tell me to stand,
It's time for us to carol.

Hello, treats
Please accept congratulations!

Happy New Year!
May the Lord grant you
And we live and be,

And wealth in everything,
And may God grant you, gentlemen,
Good health for many years to come!

Oh, carol
I went to the farrier.
- Farrier,
Forge me an axe.

What's the ax for?
-Chop a pine tree.
-What's the use of pine?
-Paving the bridge.

What's the bridge for?
- Frost to walk, -
Dress up the New Year!

Good evening to you,
Affectionate owner,
Rejoice, rejoice, earth,
The Son of God was born into the world.

We are coming to you, master,
With good news.
Rejoice, rejoice, earth,
The Son of God was born into the world.

With good news
From the holy city.
Rejoice, rejoice, earth,
The Son of God was born into the world.

How many aspens,
So many pigs for you;
How many Christmas trees
So many cows;

How many candles
So many sheep.
Good luck to you,
The owner and the hostess

Great health,
Happy New Year,
With all the family!
Kolyada, Kolyada!

A carol came
On the eve of Christmas.
Who will give me some pie?
So the barn is full of cattle,

Ovin with oats,
A stallion with a tail.
You will give us -
We will praise

And you won’t give -
We will reproach!
Kolyada, Kolyada!
Serve the pie!

A star is shining in the sky,
At the hour of Holy Christmas
Kolyada came,
I went around all the houses,

I knocked on doors and windows,
She walked and laughed and played...
And behind the noisy Kolyada,
carolers in a crowd...

Everyone rejoices and laughs,
they sing a loud song:
“Kolyada was born,
on the eve of Christmas..."

I'm making carols for
Who will give me a ruble in total,
And it’s not difficult for me to dance,
For a tenner in your hand.

If there is a son in the house,
Give me some cheese, hostess/owner,
Since you have a daughter in the house,
I'll ask for a barrel of honey.

If there are any other goodies,
I'll keep it in my pocket.
Well, mistress/host, don’t be shy!
Treat me quickly!

Kolyada, Kolyada,
Come from far away
Once a year
Let's admire it for an hour.

We're crackling with the frost,
With a prickly cold,
With white snows,
With a blizzard, with blizzards.

Scooters - sleighs
We drove ourselves -
From village to village,
Kolyada is fun.

We sow, we blow snow
On a silk bed.
The snow is falling,
The blizzard will break out!

Give it to you, master,
On New Year's Day:
There is offspring on the field,
On the threshing floor - threshed,

You will give us -
We will praise
And you won’t give -
We will scold.

On a holy night on a fat field,
Without knowing rest and dreams,
Herds roaming free
A family of shepherds was grazing.

At this moment from the heights of heaven
In shining, wonderful clothes
An angel came down and said:
“Don’t be afraid, God sent me!”

In the holy city of Bethlehem
Born now, at this time,
Savior of the world and people!
Happy holiday to you! Merry Christmas!

Kolyada-molyada
She arrived young.
We found a carol
In Ivan's yard!

Hey, Uncle Ivan,
Take the good stuff out into the yard!
How cold it is outside
Freezes nose

Doesn't tell me to stand for long
He orders it to be served soon,
Or a warm pie
Or money with a spear,

Or a silver ruble!

Good evening to you,
Affectionate owner,
Rejoice, rejoice, earth,

The Son of God was born into the world.
We are coming to you, master,
With good news.
Rejoice, rejoice, earth,

The Son of God was born into the world.
With good news
From the holy city.
Rejoice, rejoice, earth,

The Son of God was born into the world.

Good auntie,
Give me some sweet cakes.
Kolyada-molyada,

On the eve of Christmas,
Give it, don't break it,
Give everything whole.
If you drop a little one,

You can’t even pray to God.
Won't you serve me some flatbread?
Let's break the windows.
Won't you serve me the pie?

Let's lead the cow by the horns.

You, master, don’t be tormented,
Give it quickly!
What about the current frost?
Doesn't tell me to stand for long

Orders to serve soon:
Either pies come out of the oven,
Or a penny of money,
Or a pot of cabbage soup!

God bless you
A yard full of bellies!
And to the stables of horses,
Into the calf barn,

To the guys' hut
And take care of the kittens!

I'm caroling, I'm caroling
I will go into any hut.
I'll ask the hostess
Let's have some sweets.

And cookies and sweets,
And sherbet with nuts,
And halva and chocolate,
Pastille and marmalade,

Delicious cake,
Sweet ice cream
We'll eat it ourselves
And treat each other

And the hostess, and the hostess
Remember with a kind word!

Kolyada-molyada
She arrived young!
We found a carol
In Mironov's yard.

Hey, Uncle Miron,
Take the good stuff out into the yard.
How cold it is outside
Freezes nose.

Doesn't tell me to stand for long
He tells me to serve it soon
Or a warm pie
Or butter, cottage cheese,

Or money with a spear,
Or a silver ruble!

We wish everyone good health,
So that with brotherly love
I came to you every day,
I believe that I gave you happiness.

And now let the world rejoice,
Rejoices, triumphs,

The world is saved! The world has lit up!

And we, the faithful people,
We magnify Christ

We dedicate it to him!

At least a piece of the pie.
Who will give the carol a pie?
He will be there in every possible way!
The cattle will be healthy

The barn will be full of cows
Who will squeeze his piece,
It will be a lonely year.
Will not find luck, happiness,

The year will be spent in bad weather.
Don't feel sorry for the pie
Otherwise you'll create a debt!

Showed yourself!

Kolyada you, Kolyada,
A carol came by,
I recorded a carol,
Sovereign's courtyard,

The Sovereign's courtyard in the middle of Moscow,
Middle of stone.
Gossip darling,
Donate splinters

On holy evenings
To games, to gatherings.
Thank you, godfather, my white swan,
You didn’t celebrate, you didn’t play pranks,

I went for a walk to the market, bought some silk for myself,
I embroidered a fly and gave it to my dear friend.
Give you, Lord, forty cows, fifty piglets,
yes forty chickens.

The road of the wise men and shepherds
We are moving behind a wonderful star.
When you can't find her with your eyes,
A young heart will see her.

When she goes beyond the clouds
Or the passions of the world will cloud your eyes.
Then make your heart sighted,
It will not disappoint your hopes.

And you will outshine her cool light,
Without daring to use a household lamp
Follow the wise men and shepherds,
The night doors are boldly opening.

Look how in the mother of pearl of the clouds
We are moving over the abyss of heaven,
Along the shimmering and narrow road,
The road of the wise men and shepherds.

Kolyada! Kolyada!
There was a carol
Around the sir's yard,
Sudarev's yard

In the middle of Moscow:
The gates are colorful,
Gateways
Gold plates.

Don't scold the carol,
Don't scold the carol!
Donuts, flatbreads,
Pig's feet

Everyone was sitting in the oven
Yes they looked at us
We wanted to eat
They flew into the back of the car.

Merry carol

Kolyada, Kolyada...
And the woman has a beard.
And my grandfather grew a tail.
The scoundrel is running around in the garden.

Kolyada, Kolyada...
It doesn't matter to us.
God will give you full health.
The bins will be full.

Kolyada, Kolyada...
We dance all the years.
And also on all fours
We boldly climb the steps.

Kolyada, Kolyada...
It's okay that it's cold.
I'm healthy, I'll go into the cold,
I take a swim in the pond.

Kolyada, Kolyada...
Have fun, people, always!
After all, it’s not fitting for us to be sad,
Enjoying the little things in life.

Kolyada, Kolyada...
There is a candle and food on the table.
The cute Christmas tree is shining.
The Lord blesses everyone.

Celebrate, have fun
People are kind to me
And clothe yourself with delight
In 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 the wards
And not in cleaned houses.
There was no gold to be seen there,
Where He lay in swaddling clothes.

Inconceivable He fit
In a cramped manger, like a poor man.
Why was He born?
Why is it so poor?

In order to save us
From the devil's snares
Exalt and glorify
Us with your love

Let us praise God forever
For such a day of celebration!
Let me congratulate you
Happy Christmas Day!

We wish you many summers,
Many, many, many years.

Wait for Christmas
Kolyada has arrived!
Kolyada is holy!
Kolyada is holy!

Kolyada is a symbol of the newborn sun, which opens the new year. The evil witch Winter tries to capture him and turn him into a wolf cub, but people save the baby and burn the animal’s skin in a burning fire (a symbol of spring warmth).

In January we have many holidays: New Year, Christmas, Old New Year. These days, people have fun, visit each other, wish happiness, health and prosperity, set a rich table and invite relatives to visit. In addition to festive feasts at Christmas, it is customary to carol, walk around the courtyards, and sing carols with wishes of health and happiness.

What are carols, how to carol correctly, what costumes do you wear for caroling? Today, on the eve of the holiday, we will talk about this, and also learn short and funny Christmas carols with the children so that they can congratulate their family, neighbors and acquaintances.

The tradition of caroling dates back to pagan times, when our ancestors worshiped the goddess of fertility Kolyada and celebrated the winter solstice, when the days became longer and the nights became shorter. People sang songs dedicated to this event so that the harvest would be good and there would be prosperity in the house.

With the birth of Christianity, the two holidays became intertwined and are practically one. At Christmas, adults and children dress up, go to their relatives and friends, learn carols, generosity, and wish everyone well-being and happiness. Carols- These are traditional ritual songs, which are often of a religious nature, glorifying the birth of Jesus Christ. With the words of carols they began to thank God for all the good things that happened in the old year, and they praised the generosity and hospitality of the hosts.

How to carol correctly

There are specific features of caroling in different regions, but there is also something in common. Nowadays you don’t often see carolers, as in the films of N.V. Gogol.

According to tradition, mummers walk around the village: boys and girls dressed in costumes and sing carols. The spectacle is very bright and interesting.

Firstly, to carol, you need to gather in a group of at least three people. At the head of the company of mummers is the “star”, who carries a large eight-pointed star on a stick - a symbol of the birth of Jesus Christ. The star is the main attribute of Christmas. It can be cut out of cardboard or made of wire, decorated with sparkles and broken toys.

Zvezdar- this is the main person. He must know carols very well and sing them.

Next comes ' 'Bell ringer", which carries a bell. He calls, thereby informing the owners that carolers are coming. And brings up the rear ‘ ‘mechonosha’‘. He has a bag where the owners put various sweets, rolls, and bagels. The bag should be bright and made of durable fabric. You can decorate it with stars, a month, and the sun.

Before starting caroling, the mummers must ask the owner for permission to carol. Of course, no one refuses this request, but for decency you still need to ask permission. If the owner has given the go-ahead, the mummers thank him, wish the hospitable hosts health, happiness, prosperity and begin to sing carols.

It’s not at all difficult to teach children to carol. They can remember little carols. By learning carols and schedrovkas with children, we introduce them to the traditions of Slavic culture. Children very quickly perceive the words of carols by ear. A few repetitions and they know them by heart. Moreover, knowing that they will be given sweets later, children learn carols quickly.

Kolyada, Kolyada!

Give us some pie

Or a chicken with a tuft,

Cockerel with a comb.

Nowadays, children go around singing carols to have fun and get treats.

Children can be dressed up in bright clothes. For example, a buffoon: wear a bright shirt, trousers, a hat on his head with bells, and gird his shirt with a belt. If your children go caroling, make sure they are dressed warmly and don’t forget to give them some so they don’t freeze. Winter is still outside!

It is often customary to sow the floor with grain so that there is prosperity in the home. “I sow, sow, sow, Happy New Year or Merry Christmas!”

By learning carols with children, we help them develop memory and creativity; children learn about the rituals and traditions of Christmas.

Boys can also wear a folk-style shirt, decorated with embroidery, and wide trousers. The whole company can be dressed up and sent caroling around the village.

Masks.

Masks have always been an important element of Christmas costume. Previously, they were sewn from thick fabric and leather. Now you can buy a ready-made mask or try to make it yourself. What masks are most often worn at Christmas: goat, deer, dog, horse masks.

Goat.

A typical carol character. You can put on a sheepskin coat or sheepskin coat turned inside out, put on a goat mask, and a knitted cap on your head, to which you can attach horns.
