In the Russian Empire, the Christmas tree was introduced by Peter I after his return from Europe, who ordered Christmas trees to be placed near the courtyards of the rich and decorated. And for ordinary people, at least decorate the gates with Christmas tree branches. Over time, the Christmas tree moved to homes, thanks to Dutch confectioners who began selling already decorated Christmas trees in their pastry shops

Через неделю после Коляды (Рождества) 31 декабря (по ст.ст.) или 13 января (по н.ст.), отмечали Щедрый вечер, приуроченный к встрече Нового года.
Основным событием Щедрого вечера и Нового года в Украине было щедрование, сопровождавшееся обязательным обходом домов с пожеланием людям счастья, здоровья и благополучия в Новом году. Щедровок начинают петь ровно в полночь перед Новым годом. Их не нужно смешивать с пением колядок. В то время когда колядки всегда и обязательно поют хором, то щедривки могут исполняться и сольно.

From the beginning, these groups were all male, given that this ritual involves contact with death. Accordingly, women did not participate in it. We can already see how children and women carol. In fact, only men could do it. But, considering that this holiday is combined with the sun, the groups could not walk around the village chaotically. They followed the sun, and if it was a mountainous area, for example, the Carpathians, then they walked from below in a circle, climbing and going around each house. If the carolers did not enter a house, it means that a dead person's foot could be there, and this was a bad sign and they were very offended.
