Going door-to-door / door-to-door visits
Door-to-door visits - čia bendresnis pavadinimas. Jei reikia apibūdinti kalėdotojus, tai sakoma "going carolling". Šiaip tai nėra vieno išsireiškimo, kuris tiktų visais tokiais atvejais. Aš tai, pagal kontekstą, naudočiau going round the villages/houses, going door-to-door, visiting homes/villages ar pan.

: O jei, pvz., Užgavėnių atveju, blynų kaulyti einama ir į įstaigas (mokyklas, bibliotekas ir pan.), ne tik į namus, bet ir po butus, tai house-to-house tampa per daug konkretu. Platesnė reikšmė yra door-to-door.

: to guise šiaip yra per daug abstrakti reikšmė, nes vartojama tikrai ne tik persirengėliams/saldumynų kaulytojams apibūdinti. Net jei tokia nišinė reikšmė ir egzistuoja, užsienietis nemanys, kad "guising" labai skiriasi nuo paprasto "guise".
