You think that's bad, we've been suffering from Christmas music/decorations here in the US since before Thanksgiving (Nov 26 or so).

Which is odd, since current policy is 'Christmas is evil and oppressive and must be replaced by generic holiday terminology'

Chesnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Ultide Carols being sung by a choir and folks dressed up like eskimos.
Everyone knows, a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season Bright,
Tiny tots with their eyes all a glow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight,

They know that Santa's on his way,
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh....

And so forth... I agree that people knocking on doors singing is a bit early, but gotta love a good carol.

Fortunately, I live with Ebenezer Scrooge who answered the door at the end of November and promptly slammed shut the door again when he saw it was carollers. He said he might acknowledge them "when it's ****ing December". LMAO.

I like christmas carolers.. really get u in the mood, only thing is here they suck!
Usually its like 3-5 young ones singing a song, then stop halfway and ask for money... then they leave!
Only one proper group seems to come around each year!

Manic Moran haha, Christmas begins here about the end of september, shops are all ready beginning of november, and its in full swing by mid november!

I've never seen Christmas carollers. I think I wouldn't like it, though, especially at the start of December. I have a very strict 'No Christmas music before December eighth' rule, but if carollers were involved, I'd have to say not before the 20th, and then only if they could actually sing. Otherwise I'd set up a mild electric current through the doorbell. Not enough to kill, mind. Just enough to teach them a lesson.

You think thats bad. My mates put up their christmas in Septrmber for the laugh. A bit extreme but funny,

Anyway, their neighbours all complained and their landlord made them take it down,

Where is their sense of Christmas spirit?

A modern twist on the classics

I live in whitehall, and we get the best carol singers.

Every year, Deco, Whacker, Tiffany-Kylie, Spud, Chantelle, Jacinta and micka call to the door. They passionately belt out a few of the auld favourites, "Soilent Noite, Houuuulllllly Noite, Allll is calm, all in Broite", "Away in a maaaaaaaaanger" and "Deck me balls, I'm Roidin Holly"

The cheerful bunch started carol singing when they wre just wee nippers, and have continued the heartfelt tradition for years now. They average at 22 years of age.
The tradition shall continue through their cheery off spring, both Jacinta and Tiffany-Kylie have enlisted the help of their young children, Fascardi and Beyonce. Occasionally Whacker has been known to bring his son, T-Jay along. (T-Jay is not short for anything, thats just his name)

An accomodating bunch they are too, should you be all out of change on the evening they arrive, they are happy to accept dvd players, childrens toys (boxed of course), mp3 players, tv's, in place of money, and they will, without complaint, enter your home and remove the goods themselves.

Oh yes, I expect the gang will be along any day now, bringing warmth and happiness to those stupid enough to open the door.

Let me set the scene for you, buddies.
I stumbled out of Reardon's pub last night and lo and behold, there's four people in Santa Suits singing carols. I thought it was a figment of my drunken imagination but, alas, no

Lump

Good, if I could find a Santa suit to fit me, I'd be there. Roll on Christmas. And none of you are going to kill my christmas spirit!

I had my first Christmas carollers sometime around November 15th. They were a bunch of kids without a note in their heads nor any idea what the second line of whatever they were singing was. I pointed out to them that they were just a tad early and sent them on their way. Bleedin' chancers.

Slutmonkey57b

I also had carollers around mid november.

I SWEAR they weren't just the local tinkers casing the apartments to see which ones they were going to do their pre-christmas robbing in though. Honest. I paid them off seeing as they broke in last year and robbed all the jewellery.

A bucket of wee is on hand for any little tykes who disturb my evening with songs about donkeys, mangers and such. BAH! HUMBUG!

I f*cking hate christmas / christmas caroler's/ santa and anything to do with that supid Christian festival. It's shoved down everyones neck like they have to do it aswell even if they're not Catholic.

We've never really gotten Carol singers down here in these parts so I can't say much regarding them. However we generally every Stephen's day are subjected to those Wren boys who from my experience are always girls. i don't mind them that much but they can become very annoying especially in the pubs.
