We are ditties for carols
Cheerful let's sing
You treat us sweeter,
And then we will be offended - we will leave!

Open the gate!
You give me a pie
piece of bread,
Sour cream pot!
Don't serve pies
We release bedbugs
mustachioed cockroaches
And striped animals!

Come from afar
Once a year
Let's love the hour.
With frost crackling,
With prickly cold,
With white snows
With a blizzard, with blizzards.
Scooters - sleds
Ride yourself -
From village to village
The carol is fun.

Who lives in this house
God bless that!
Happiness whole bins,
Let them enjoy the winter!
We want very little
Pirogov only on the road!

The Holy Spirit descended from heaven
And said Christ was born
We came to glorify Christ
And congratulate you on the holiday

We bring happiness, joy to the house,
We are still waiting for pies!
There will be a day and there will be food,
Kolyada will not forget you!

Hello pies!
There will be peace in that house
Who do we sing songs to?

That is why the barn is full of cattle,
Sheep with oats
A stallion with a tail!
Who will not give a pie,

You can't pray to God either.
Do not serve cakes -
Let's break the windows.
Don't serve a pie -
Let's take the cow by the horns.

A carol comes to Pavly-village.
Gather up villagers
Let's go with carols!
Open the chest
Get a piglet!
Open up, peddlers,
Get your pennies!
Come, don't be shy
Now let's entertain the people.
Who will be the devil, and who will be the goblin!
And who does not want anyone
Let him laugh for a penny!

To be good for you
Say thank you to heaven

We've been standing for a long time
Let's not stand!
The stove is heated
I want a pie!

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

Kolyada came on the eve of Christmas.
God bless whoever is in this house.
We wish all good people:
gold, silver,
fluffy pies,
soft pancakes,
good health,
Cow butter.

A star is shining in the sky
At Christmas time...
Kolyada came,
I went around all the houses
Knocked on doors and windows,
Laughed and played...
And behind the noisy Kolyada,
Carolers in a crowd ...
Everyone is cheering and laughing
Sing a loud song:
"Kolyada was born,
Before Christmas…”

We ask for your health
And we carry candles for happiness!
Let your yard.
There will be a mountain of gold!
Well, you will treat us
Don't miss out on the carol!
Otherwise, a year will pass
Bring nothing!

carol, carol,
Who will not give a pie,
We are the cow by the horns
Who will not give donuts,
We are bumps in the forehead,
Who will not give a piglet,
Tom's neck on the side.

After the Holy Supper on January 6, children and adults dress up in bright costumes, go from house to house and sing Christmas carols. Costumed carolers are invited to the house, treated, and thanked for their performances with sweets and money.

In order not to make a mistake on Christmas Eve 2018, think over the performance in advance.

We have selected the funniest Christmas carols for adults and children that are easy to learn, even if you can’t carol, they can be used as a Christmas greeting.

Christmas carols, short and funny: what kind of tradition, how to carol?

Caroling - the singing of special festive songs - has always accompanied Christmas since ancient times. Carols are ritual chants. They traditionally contain congratulations, sincere wishes well-being, wealth and health, as well as the demand for treats. As a rule, young people and children took part in caroling.

They went in whole groups, sometimes quite large, from house to house, carrying with them a special symbol - a star. Also, mummers were always present, who wrapped themselves in animal skins, put on homemade masks and even horns.

With rare exceptions, carolers were greeted joyfully, believing that their wishes for health and a generous harvest would come true.

Therefore, the guys did not leave empty-handed, their sacks were always full of goodies. They gave mostly sweets, but some owners did not skimp on other products and even money.

Caroling is customary on Christmas Eve. This is the evening of January 6, or, as it is also called, Holy Evening. But, of course, you need to learn carols in advance. Also now there are New Year's carols, and also mixed ones, in which they congratulate on both holidays.

Songs are accompanied by dances, played out comic skits. And whoever does not let carolers into the house or drives them away, he voluntarily refuses all these potential benefits.

They do it in the evening. And in the morning they again go to congratulate everyone on the holiday. They take grain with them, which they scatter in the house.

Caroling can begin from the New Year and continue right up to the Epiphany. Many modern authors pay attention to composing Christmas songs and some of them become quite popular, but it is the old carols left to us as a legacy from our ancestors that have the greatest value.

Christmas carols, short and funny: texts

Carols are distinguished by their beauty and melody. In addition, they have a special, ancient power. Indeed, until now, many people believe that the wishes voiced in these Christmas songs will surely come true and that thanks to such chants, even fate can be changed.

Who knows, maybe that's why Slavic carols scattered all over the world.

Carols for children at Christmas have some special features. They should be simple, clear and not too long. And, of course, they should not contain any "adult" hints.

How many donkeys
So many pigs for you;
How many trees
So many cows;
How many candles
So many sheep.
Happiness to you
Owner with hostess
Great health
Happy New Year
With all kind!
Carol, carol!

Christmas and the whole festive week for the Slavs has a very great importance. The traditions of Christmas affect religious, family, fair and mystical beliefs and rules. Today, most rituals and popular beliefs associated with Christmas time are a thing of the past. Here you will find carols for children and learn how to carol correctly.

History of carols

Initially, the holiday with carols was dedicated to winter solstice and was called Kolyada. Children can be introduced to ancient traditions using an ancient custom with carnival elements. Fairs, performances, dressing up in costumes with masks and singing cheerful carol songs were held at Christmas time. Some of the customs have survived to this day.

Most bright traditions and folk beliefs in Russia regarding Christmas time are well represented in Nikolai Gogol's Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka. In the evening and on the night before Christmas, it is customary to set the table for a fast dinner of 12 courses, tell fortunes and go to neighbors' houses with funny carols. Our ancestors believed that on this day you can meet evil spirits.

It is not customary to sing carols at Christmas. The time for songs is the evening of January 6 (Holy Evening). Christmas carols can be long or short, with humor and good wishes. You can choose lyrics for children and adults. Going to visit the Christmas time is accepted by the whole family. The hostesses cook the best dishes at home as a treat and honor family traditions.

Carols in Christianity

The feast of the Nativity of Christ is celebrated in different regions in their own way. Traditionally, carol songs were sung in large groups, bypassing all the houses. The owners of the house listened to carols and generously treated the guests.

The traditions of Christmas among the Slavs absorbed some of the customs from pagan times. As a treat at home, they bake cookies in the form of animals and pies. In the old days, the bag of carolers was replenished with bread, pies, homemade sausage, ham and other delicacies. Currently, carol songs are most of all interested in children who are happy to perform short songs for a sweet treat. It is appropriate to put sweets, pies, waffles, tangerines, and oranges in a bag. Some people give money for singing Christmas carols, this approach is inappropriate and does not correspond to the spirit of the holiday. It is better to buy several packages of different sweets and fruits in advance.

New Year's row!

Tausen, tausen,
We go to all!
Who will not give jelly -
I'll spray at the gate.
Who will not give a donut -
I am a sheep's armpit.
Townhouse, townhouse!
Cook, grandmother, jelly -
On the hillock
In a turtle.

We sow, we blow snow
On a silk bed.
The snow is falling
The blizzard will break out!
Give it to you, master
In the new year:
On the field - offspring,
On the threshing floor - ground,
You will give us
We will praise
And you won't give
We will scold.

Let it flow with wonderful light,
And the Lord bless you
Health, happiness and success!

And we shared our happiness and warmth.
Let the night pass, but not disappear with it
From our souls, a beautiful kind light.
And let everyone in their hearts believe -
God is love and He is with us forever!

How to carol correctly

If a decision is made to go caroling at Christmas time, several things should be taken into account. important points. You can only carol on January 6, on the day of the holiday it is unacceptable to do this. Traditionally, caroling is done in the evening, but in some regions it is done already from noon. In ancient times, only representatives of the stronger sex went caroling. Boys and girls can now sing carols together. Most often, children with great enthusiasm take part in a fun celebration at Christmas time. It is better to learn the text of popular and new songs suitable for the occasion in advance.

Previously, in a group of carolers, there was always a “ringer”, a man with a bell, the ringing of which warned of the arrival of the group. Now this is not necessary. You can inform people about the arrival of carolers by doorbell. The first to enter the house is the one who carries the star. It's easy to make at home for kids. You will need a sheet of thick paper, foil, glue and a stick of sufficient length. The Christmas star is of great importance. It represents the star that gave the Magi a sign that Christ was born.

With this symbol and funny carols people share their joy by welcoming the feast of the Nativity of Christ.

Before you start singing, you should ask permission from the owners of the house. It is not accepted to refuse, and after obtaining permission, you can start caroling. Christmas carols in Russian are performed by a choir in several voices. It is customary to sing long songs, glorify the holiday and wish the owners of the house happiness and all kinds of blessings. Suitable for small children short carols, a text that can be easily and quickly remembered.

The treats received from the owners for children and adults are put in one large bag or bag. The person who wears the bag - "mekhonosha" must take good care of it and ensure the safety of the contents. The received sweets and other delicacies are divided equally between all members of the group after the end of the trip. Children prefer to eat sweets as soon as they get home.

How to know your destiny

Rites and divination around Christmas originate from pagan traditions. It is believed that it is on January 6 that a fragile connection with the other world appears and a person can find out his fate. Fortune telling at Christmas will reveal secrets only to those who sincerely want an answer. In order for the mystical process to run smoothly, one should not joke about what is happening or utter insults.

If the audience does not believe in fortune-telling, but only wants to have fun, the spirit world will not answer questions and may even harm.

The most common Christmas fortune-telling that can be done at home:

  • Fortune telling on a shoe. The simplest and most famous divination. Held unmarried girl in the house where she lives. You need to stand with your back to the fence and throw a shoe over it. A boot, shoe or shoe will do. After that, you should go beyond the fence and see where the toe of the shoe points. It is from this side that the future husband will come.
  • Divination on the rings. Four rings are placed in a suitable bowl: copper, silver, gold and with any natural pebble. The rings are covered with grain or cereals, mixed. The girl takes a handful of the contents from the bowl, from which ring she got, they judge the future marriage. Copper speaks of a poor husband, silver speaks of a good simple guy, gold promises a marriage with a merchant, a ring with a stone portends a marriage with a boyar.
  • Divination on the leaves. You will need a bowl of cereal and 4 identical paper sheets. On one sheet, write the name of your loved one, leave the rest blank. All leaves are mixed with cereals. Next, you should take the leaves from the cereal. If the name of a loved one was on the first selected piece of paper, then the girl can count on a marriage proposal in the near future. The name on the second leaf means difficulties in relationships, on the third - deception on the part of a man. If the name was only on the last sheet of paper, this man is indifferent to the fortune-telling girl.

family traditions and folk customs, dedicated to the holiday Christmas, help in communication and create festive atmosphere. For children, this is a great chance to learn a lot about the history of their ancestors and take part in a fun walk with songs and congratulations.

Hello dear readers. Christmas has long been one of the most beloved holidays. For some time, the New Year supplanted this date from holiday calendar. But now the Christmas celebration is revered no less than New Year's. Old traditions are also returning, which they did not cease to follow in the outback. Caroling - the singing of special festive songs - has always accompanied Christmas since ancient times. Carols are ritual chants. They traditionally contain congratulations, sincere wishes for well-being, wealth and health, as well as the demand for treats. As a rule, young people and children took part in caroling.

They went in whole groups, sometimes quite large, from house to house, carrying with them a special symbol - a star. Also, mummers were always present, who wrapped themselves in animal skins, put on homemade masks and even horns.

With rare exceptions, carolers were greeted joyfully, believing that their wishes for health and a generous harvest would come true.

Therefore, the guys did not leave empty-handed, their sacks were always full of goodies. They gave mostly sweets, but some owners did not skimp on other products and even money.

Christmas carols for children are short

Not surprisingly, the tradition of caroling dates back to the pre-Christian era. Scientists associate the singing of carols with a special Slavic holiday- Kolyada. This is a kind of pagan analogue of the modern New Year.

There are other versions of the appearance of the name, but this is the most likely. At first, deities and forces of nature were sung in songs.

And with the advent of Christianity, the hymns received biblical fullness and began to serve the promotion of Christianity in Kievan Rus. Interesting fact that carols have existed for a very long time and are transmitted mainly orally. But at the same time, many of them retained not only the words, but also the melody.

When to carol

Caroling is customary on Christmas Eve. This is the evening of January 6, or, as it is also called, Holy Evening. But, of course, you need to learn carols in advance. Also now there are New Year's carols, and also mixed ones, in which they congratulate on both holidays.

So you can start caroling from the New Year and continue right up to the Epiphany of the Lord. Many modern authors pay attention to writing Christmas songs and some of them are becoming quite popular. But it is precisely the old carols left to us as a legacy from our ancestors that have the greatest value.

Probably everyone knows at least one carol. Many in childhood went caroling with friends and even in adulthood fondly remember these special events. But after all, it is not necessary to congratulate outsiders with such a chant.

Relatives will also be happy to hear carols in their home. Many of them are filled deep meaning and contain sincere words wishes. Therefore, learning carols is useful even for kids. Here are a few examples for them. short options. Let them sound in your home on Christmas Eve, adding to the holiday special color and solemnity.

Carols for children in Russian

Carols are distinguished by their beauty and melody. In addition, they have a special, ancient power. Indeed, until now, many people believe that the wishes voiced in these Christmas songs will surely come true and that thanks to such chants, even fate can be changed. Who knows, maybe that's why Slavic carols scattered all over the world.

So, the world's most popular carol song Carol Of The Bells has Ukrainian roots. This is an old ritual Christmas song "Shchedryk" arranged by the Ukrainian composer and conductor Mykola Leontovich.

She even performed Soviet time, but only due to the fact that there is no religious content in its text. It is also suitable today as a carol for children at Christmas.

Here is the translation of "Shchedryk" into Russian:

Shchedryk, Shchedryk, Shchedrovka,

The swallow has arrived.

I started to twitter

Call the owner:

- Come out, come out, master,

Look at the cat -

There the sheep lambed

And the lambs were born

You have a good product

You will have more than one penny,

Though not money, then sex.

You have a black-browed wife.

Shchedryk, Shchedryk, Shchedrovka,

The swallow has arrived.

And this is another carol, which is performed to the same melody by many groups.

On a starry night, Christ is born.

In a simple manger he was laid.

An angel descended from heaven into the field,

He told the shepherds the message:

“Rejoice all, Christ is born.

In a simple manger he was laid.

Glory, glory, glory to God in the highest!

Goodwill to all people!

The angelic choir sang a song,

Peace on earth proclaimed.

Here are some more examples of Christmas carol songs.

The night is silent, the night is holy

People are sleeping, the distance is clear;

Only in the barn the light burns;

There the holy couple does not sleep,

In the manger the Child is dozing. In the manger the Child is dozing.

The night is silent, the night is holy

The height lit up

Bright Angel from heaven

He brought the news to the shepherds:

» Christ was born to you! Christ is born to you!”

The night is silent, the night is holy

A star is burning in the sky;

Shepherds are on their way

They hurry to come to Bethlehem:

They will see Christ there. They will see Christ there.

The night is silent, the night is holy

Happiness awaits all hearts.

God, let me come to Christ,

Find joy in it.

Glory forever, Christ! Glory forever, Christ!

Carols for the New Year for children

New Year's carols can be sung not only on New Year's Eve. On January 13, the so-called Vasiliev evening is celebrated, which is also called Generous.

Now this date is known as the Old New Year - a very strange concept for foreigners. Yes, and many of our compatriots consider this date a relic of the past, an atavism, an extra holiday, devoid of any meaning.

But here they are deeply mistaken. Among other things, according to church calendar, this is the feast day of Saint Melania. The people call the holiday Malanka (Melanka, Milanka). You must have heard some of these names. At this time, the Christmas fast has already ended and you can celebrate to your heart's content.

Unlike Christmas, when it is believed that the year will be successful if a boy or a guy enters the house first, it is mostly girls who are generous here. But young people, as they say, "drive Malanka."

At the same time, one of them dresses up as a young lady, portraying the same Malanka. And special carols are used here - generosity. They generously wish the owners all the best and promise their abundance in the new year.

The songs are accompanied by dances, comic scenes are played out. And whoever does not let carolers into the house or drives them away, he voluntarily refuses all these potential benefits.

They do it in the evening. And in the morning they again go to congratulate everyone on the holiday. They take grain with them, which they scatter in the house.

Accompany the ceremony with congratulations and good wishes. This is called "going to sow". As a rule, they first visit relatives for this purpose, and later visit other houses. But here, the girls already enter the house after the guys, or they don’t go to sow at all.

Below are a few suitable songs for New Year's caroling and sowing.

carol, carol,

Come from afar

Once a year

Let's love the hour.

With frost crackling,

With prickly cold,

With white snows

With a blizzard, with blizzards.

Scooters - sleds

Ride yourself -

From village to village

The carol 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

In the new year:

On the field - offspring,

On the threshing floor - ground,

You will give us

We will praise

And you won't give

We will scold.

carol, carol,

You give me a pie

Or a slice of bread

Or half the money

Or a chicken with a crest,

Rooster with a comb!

Open, owners, chests,

Take out the patches!

Let's go for a penny

To carolers!

The moon shone in the sky

He showed us the way.

top-bottom-

Close to home.

The owner walked on the porch,

He poured wine into a glass.

Only we do not drink wine -

Give us a ruble!

Your house has four corners

In each corner - three fellows:

Good, Comfort, Peace live.

A girl walks from corner to corner

A braid spreads along the floor.

The girl is called - Love,

It is on it that your roof rests!

If you generously reward us,

Keep happiness in the house!

Let's leave with gifts from the yard -

Bins will be full!

At least a candy, at least a nickel -

We won't just leave!

New year has come

The old one stole

Showed himself!

Get up people

Get out of the gate -

meet the sun,

Frost drive away!

Koleda-moleda,

white beard,

Nose - flat

Head - a basket,

Hands - sabers,

Legs - rakes,

Come on New Year's Eve

Magnify honest people!

carol, carol,

We open all houses

All windows, chests,

We pour sweets, pies,

To be good for you

Say thank you to heaven

Once you have a son

Give me a head of cheese.

Once you have a daughter

Give me a barrel of honey.

If not rich

Get out of the house.

Get rich, save bounty -

I will come for the new year.

Until then, I'll go

Singing carols.

If someone is rich

Take it out of the house

And jams and pickles

And candy and cookies.

God bless us all

After all, he is ready for it!

We sow, we sow, we sow,

Happy New Year!

Although the Old New Year -

It still brings good!

We wish the old fashioned way

Fertility - cattle,

Warm booth - a dog,

Saucers of milk - a kitten,

A handful of wheat - a cockerel,

And the bride - a friend,

Small children - mom and dad,

Grandmother - small grandchildren!

We sow, we sow, we sow,

Happy New Year!

Open the chest

Get a piglet!

I sow, I sow,

Congratulations on Kolyada,

I wish you happiness, joy.

I sow, I sing, I sing

I sprinkle barley-zhito,

To be born in the field,

To double life

For children to grow up

To marry girls.

I sow, I sow,

I wish you happiness and all the best.

Who will give us a pie

That is a full barn of cattle,

Sheep with oats

A stallion with a tail.

Who will not give a pie -

To that chicken leg,

Pest and shovel

Humpback cow.

Do not press, hostess,

Carry the caravan!

Take out the muffin

And spelled with butter.

Everything will return a hundredfold,
