All this is sung about in carols, which were known long before the beginning of Christian times in Ukraine, it is also found in ordinary rituals, such as: twelve wormwood, twelve Christmas Eve dishes, calling for a dinner of frost, a wolf, a black storm and evil winds, grandfather on penance, hay on the table. All these movements, actions and words, which at first glance have no meaning in a person's life, blow on the heart of each of us with the charm of the native element and are a living balm for the soul that fills it with powerful strength.

In the evening, teenage girls, alone or in a group, went around the houses of neighbors and relatives in order to donate. It was a separate New Year's event in which only girls participated:
I'm a little girl
I have a little boyish dress.
I don't know either "az" or "beech",
Therefore, give something in your hands!
They came to your house to be generous.
Generous evening, good evening!
The master lives here - the owner of wealth.
Generous evening, good evening!
And his wealth is golden hands.
Generous evening, good evening!
And his joy is good children.
Good evening, good evening.

Sprinkling with grain, after the performance of generosity, is always done with a saying:
"Fortunately, for health! births God, rye, wheat and all the arable land! And for us it's a firecracker."
According to the content, nature and purpose of the charity, it is a panegyric-glorious New Year's greeting. They are, as it were, an addendum to Christmas carols and are an integral part of Christmas carols.
Traditional Christmas and New Year rites, carols and Christmas gifts are a real treasury of our people, which you need to get to know deeply.
