Students Caroling on Christmas Eve

A most interesting tradition…

Each teacher has a number of classes which get together on Christmas Eve. They go from one teacher's house to the next, caroling for as many as they can. Teachers in town have more groups than those in the villages simply because of logistics. I am five kilometers from town and it is too far to walk and so the students must find a ride (for twenty to thirty kids) or pass.

One group that hazarded the snow and ice was my 10A class. They brought instruments and sang quite well. The students then expect remuneration in the form of food and drink. The tangerines disappeared in no time.
