QUESTION 1
What is a Parranda?

Correct!
c. Christmas caroling Puerto Rican style

Parrandas, also known as "asaltos" or "trullas," are the Puerto Rican version of Christmas caroling with traditional songs, instruments, and lots of delicious food! Friends gather late in the evening and go from house to house singing holiday songs. The parranderos (carolers) generally are invited in by the homeowner and, in anticipation of their visit, the host offers them food and drinks. The parranda then continues on to the next house with the host usually joining in.
