Me too and was a great way to earn a little cash, I fear the tradition has fallen out of vogue along with doing Penny for the guy.When I was growing up we used to go carolling around the houses, not too long long ago, early 80s. Not seen any for years now though.
I went to see Carols With One Thousand Candles in the local Cathedral last night. Really nice to hear carols in such a beautiful backdrop.
