Christmas Caroling! How many are showing up at your door?

When I was young, our church formed a group of carolers and I was always with them. We would go around the neighborhood, singing at each house. No one ever chased us away, though. We never got anything from anyone; we didn't expect to get anything. The whole idea was to sing Christmas carols and to have fun. I don't remember anyone ever not liking it. I think it's a shame that some people don't like carolers at their door. I can understand not being religious but the singing is so nice! But, there are more people disillusioned by Christmas and Christianity now than ever before. Maybe some of those who do not want the carolers at their doors have lost their job or are about to lose their car or home and the caroling brings sadness instead of happiness. I honestly wouldn't want to guess what is going on in their minds.

The funny thing about caroling here is they don't go to our house. You know why? Our dogs scare them off. We already miss children singing on front of our house :D

We don't get carolers here. That would be fun. :-(

NO, I don't see any x-mas carolling going on around my neighborhood. I guess because their parents don't see it as safe sending their kids outside and into stranger's home to sing songs. I only see carolling happening on t.v. shows or movies.

We have never had any christmas carrols come to our house before at least I dont remember since we usally go on vacation a lot during christmas time at least when I was a kid. Plus its way to cold to go carroling so I don't think anyone wants to go out in the freezing cold to go caroling at least what ive seen here.

Oh,for God's sake! I really get annoyed when christmas carollers stands infront of our gate. I always get annoyed. I am tired of saying, "we have no christmas,sorry" its because i'm a member of Iglesia Ni Cristo and we don't celebrate christmas. next time, i would really put a banner outside saying: CAROLLING WILL BE 25:00 in the morning and december 32,2009...

Hi summer You years ago when I was younger we always looked forward in doing the christmas caroling in our town. We would go out and then when we done came back to the church for pizza pop and cocoa if you want. I haven't seen any christmas carolers this year or last year at all. I now live out in the country but at least you use to be able to go to town and see them somewhere. The towns have lost their christmas spirits and traditions.

We have a youth club that comes every year. They have yet to make an appearance.I feel nice when they come and I do fill up their coffers too!They bring their guitar and make an attemept to sing as nicely as they can. It is nice to encourage kids who spend time for this activity which is slowly getting into oblivion.

Christmas caroling started here in our place during the first week of December. There were many children and adults who knocked at our door and sang Christmas songs. I couldn't even count them anymore. Here in our country, we practice giving some things to those who are caroling even if we don't have much money to give to them. We believe that giving is better than receiving. We also believe that the more we give to other people, the more blessings we will receive in the future. We feel bad every time we reject Christmas carolers caroling at home. Maybe, it is already part of our culture and tradition.

Here in our place xmas carols starts in November. Well, last night six groups of carolers "raided" our house. LOL

Here at our place, almost since december 16,almost everynight kids would go caroling at our house.My mom would always give them money because she believes that the true meaning of christmas is through giving. I would always argue with her because she gives large sum of money.
