Have Chirstmas carollers visited you already?

As early as November here in our city, carollers would already come visiting the homes of people. Just last night I could hear loud voices of kids singing away the happy Christmas songs, even though its a little off tune. They didn't reach our house last night, though. I have always loved Christmas so I don't mind the premature serenades. I was used to even having them earlier than November when I was younger. I could remember preparing some coins for the kids so whenever some group would come and sing we would have no trouble looking for something to give. My mother's friend isn't so excited as I. She told my mom that whenever someone would sing carols for them she cuts them off and tells them to come back on christmas day. It's just sad that sometimes they do a very, very bad job of it. I don't mean the tones and pitches of the songs, but when the kids sing they tend to laugh hysterically in between lyrics as if they're making fun of the season. It ruins the entire Christmassy effect on it. Sometimes, those kids would have an earful from my father because of it, and he makes them sing it again before giving any treats. How about you? Have you been carolled as early as now? Do you get excited whenever you hear them sing?
