christmas caroling..

They have got their business plan wrong! They need a business adviser to steer them on a more profitable course. We sing carols in the street every year, but, we have knockers with money boxes bashing people's doors down to rake in the cash while we warble in the road. This way, the punters who actually want to hear our excruciating rendition of the songs can stand in the freezing cold and listen while others can part with their cash and slam the door in our teams face. The actual singers are then free to amble down the street and avoid being run over. ps. All the funds raised go to our church. Happy Christmas to you all.

Caroling for money? In Malaysia, caroling is organized by the church and participation is voluntary. The carolers always visit members of the church or others by appointment. Sometimes they will also sing in the shopping centers with the invitation from the owners. I wish this activity won't ever be used as a mean to get money. It is religious and it is a beautiful practice. Once it is tainted with money, it will not be the same anymore.

The same also goes here. That is why, we do not immediately give the money. We let them show their talents, smiling and watching them while they are singing... This way, they get the feel that they are not just wasting their time and their voices as well... Advance Merry Christmas! :D

I also observed that too. But those who mostly stops to sing Christmas carols are children. I only give a little to children and adds some coins when they are adults. I refuse when I already familiarize their faces. Sometimes some carolers always get back.

I try to shoo away the carolers that making caroling before Christmas. I always telling them that go back in the exact date of Christmas and that is the time that i will give them pennies because i feel that carolers don't know the real value of Christmas, i think most of them only think that they can earn money every Christmas.

Yah. That was funny. Me and my friends did some caroling and if they give us the money we leave immediately. But there are some house owners who won't give anything. It was quite hard singing with all your voice and give nothing. But it's fine. It's not compulsory that they must give. hehe.

you made me laugh jadoixa.......do they really stop as soon as they get money........ This can mean either that the singers are interested only in money or it can be that the person is not interested in listening and quickly gives away money and wants to get rid of them..........or may be the person had no idea that if he will give aways money early, the singers will stop singing.....
