Where should we Carol?
Door to Door in your neighborhood
Banks, Grocery Stores, Restaurants,
Shopping Centers (with permission)
Assisted Living Communities, Retirement
Homes (with permission)
Community/Special Events (tree lighting,
Breakfast with Santa, house tour, craft sale)
Church services/festivities
Your Office (holiday luncheons or parties)

Party Ideas add to the fun . . .
A caroling party - meet early to practice,
then hit the streets in your neighborhood,
returning for hot chocolate after!
A progressive dinner/caroling party - begin
with appetizers at the first house, then
carol your way to the next house/course!
Make the post-caroling meal a potluck!  
Here's a twist on the party idea from
Marlene Cheswick, Creve Coeur Area Chair:
she invites friends to"
Sing for Your Supper"    
- they carol in her neighborhood, then return to her home for supper!
Have a cookie exchange or white elephant
exchange after caroling!
Kids love a pizza party, hot chocolate or
cookie decorating after caroling!

Insure Your Success . . .
Use StLCCA door hangers to let listeners
know you are coming - and to remind them
checks are welcome, and
tax-deductible!
Plan an alternate date for caroling in case
of bad weather (or carol inside and pass the can among your group!)
Choose locations that are weather-proof
(see the Join Us page for ideas)
Practice before going out - and choose one
strong singer to lead your group!
Be prepared - dress for the weather!!  
Caroling in December in St. Louis means you will be COLD!!  Dress in lots of layers, and be realistic
about the length of time you plan to carol,
particularly if you have young children in your
group.
Fingers and toes get the coldest - air
activated hand and foot warmers, available at many stores, work GREAT!
Take jingle bells to draw attention!
