We were sitting at our favorite breakfast place when a group of carolers came in and started singing. N had never encountered this tradition and was perplexed.
“What do they want?” he asked.
“Nothing. They are just singing.”
“But why are they singing if they don’t want anything?”
“To spread good cheer and promote Christmas spirit,” I explained.
“I had no idea such healthy people existed,” N said after a pause.

They DO want something! You’re supposed to tip them.

Well, technically carolers who accept donations are supposed to be collecting for a charity rather than beers and pizza after they’re done with the 12 days of Christmas….

No, that’s the thing. They stood in the doorway, sang, and left immediately. This was not a collection. It was just a way to celebrate which is why I liked it. Not that there is anything wrong with collecting for charity but it’s cute when people sing without a monetary reward.
