唱圣诞颂歌在美国仍然颇受欢迎,但现在比较多见的是人们在购物中心里一边走一边唱而不是在自己的社区内挨家挨户地去唱圣诞颂歌。

 

下雪天也阻挡不住科罗拉多州弗里斯科(Frisco, Colorado)“马鞍之友骑士俱乐部”(Saddle Pals Horse Club)的成员骑着马去唱圣诞颂歌。图中这些妇女骑着马沿弗里斯科市的大街唱圣诞颂歌已有16年之久。在得克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市(San Antonio, Texas)和弗吉尼亚州弗吉尼亚海滩市(Virginia Beach, Virginia)每年也有骑马唱圣诞颂歌的队伍经过。

 

唱圣诞颂歌在美国仍然很受欢迎,但现在比较多见的是人们在购物中心里一边走一边唱而不是在自己的社区内挨家挨户地去唱圣诞颂歌。唱圣诞颂歌的人们经常把圣诞的欢乐气氛传送给住在敬老院的老人和医院里的病人。有些团体唱圣诞颂歌是为慈善事业募集资金或为穷人收集捐赠的食品。

 

新出现的变化包括网上演唱圣诞颂歌(在网上张贴视频)以及唱圣诞颂歌的“快闪族”(Flash Mob)。最近,在犹他州洛根市(Logan, Utah)的一个购物中心,一个本来在清扫地板的人突然放声高歌,让前来购物的顾客大吃一惊。美国节日合唱团(American Festival Chorus)的约150名合唱队员随即从人群中一一现身,与他一起唱起圣诞颂歌。至少在那几分钟内,大家都在共同庆祝圣诞节。

Christmas Carols on Horseback

Caroling is still popular in the United States, but it is more common to find carolers strolling through a shopping mall than going go door-to-door in their neighborhoods.

 

Snow doesn’t stop members of the Saddle Pals Horse Club from singing Christmas carols on horseback in Frisco, Colorado. The group of women has been doing the ride down the town’s main street for 16 years. Riding groups in San Antonio, Texas, and Virginia Beach, Virginia, also go caroling every year.

 

Caroling is still popular in the United States, but it is more common to find carolers strolling through a shopping mall than going door-to-door in their neighborhoods. Carolers often spread Christmas cheer at residences for the elderly and hospitals. Some groups sing to raise money for worthy causes or collect food donations for the needy.

 

New twists include virtual caroling (posting a video online) and caroling “flash mobs.” Recently, shoppers at a mall in Logan, Utah, were startled when a man who had been sweeping the floor suddenly broke into song. About 150 members of the American Festival Chorus gradually emerged from the crowd and joined him in singing a Christmas carol. For a few minutes, at least, everyone was celebrating Christmas together.

 

See the American Festival Chorus flash mob on YouTube.
