Tips for Caroling
 | | With all the last-minute gift shopping and eggnogging, it’s fair to say you’re unprepared for caroling. Cup of Cheer
Mulled wine is a must for going door to door: Pour a bottle of Chianti into a medium saucepan, add two cinnamon sticks, two star anise, one tablespoon of cloves, three tablespoons of brown sugar, and the peel of one orange (or cut to the chase with Jme syrup); simmer for twenty minutes. Word Finder
As indie rockers Matt and Kim put it, “Know the words: If you mess up the lyrics to ‘Frosty,’ you should’ve just stayed home.” Printing lyric sheets to classics like “Good King Wenceslas” (or Run D.M.C.’s “Christmas in Hollis”) will avoid any embarrassment (outside that which comes from singing to strangers). One for the Road
The question ”Do you hear what I hear?” should not refer to a rumbling stomach. Fortify with snacks that are easy to pocket and eat on the stroll. We like equal parts cacao nib brittle, double chestnut macarons, chocolate-covered grahams, glazed gingerbread, and fancy popcorn. ’Tis the season for these essentials — and more caroling must-haves.
