Holiday neighborhood singers
Carolers are people who sing carols, especially groups who go door to door singing Christmas songs during the holiday season: Carolers came by last night with "Silent Night".
The tradition involves neighbors or church groups spreading seasonal cheer, often collecting donations for charity.
