I won't say how long ago (many years) a few people would invite us in for hot chocolate, etc., no money involved. I would have on hand some nicely-wrapped candy or cookies to show my appreciation, perhaps I'm wrong. No big deal, it's charity and "good will."

A question about carolers...sm
The Christmas posts below reminded me...last year my adult neighbor and her church friends stopped by to carol. Since I was interrupted while working, my mind was still in work mode, I couldn't think and all I did was applaud and say thank you. So, what is a recipient really supposed to do?

In the old days, they gave the carolers money
My ex-husband said that when he and his brothers were little boys, they'd go out carolling for money and make a killing. That was around 1962 or so.
