Shchedryk is 111 years old this year. Leontovych wrote it in 1904. Today is New Years Eve by the Julian Calendar, or old Ukrainian New Years Eve, and the evening when traditionally, girls would start singing Shchedrivky - New Years carols. They would visit every household in the village, and sing for each member of the family. Many Shchedrivky have the refrain, Shchedryj vechir, dobryj vechir - dobrym liudiam na zdorovia which roughly translates to, A good and bountiful evening, health and wealth to all good people.
