Christmas Memories no. 376:
As kids my mates and I used to flick the porch light on and off whenever carol singers came to the door.Hearing them continue to sing in a what-the-hell's-going-on way had us rolling on the carpet.Then,if they had the audacity to ring the bell afterwards we'd throw a few foreign coins through the letterbox.Ah,Christmas,the season of hijinks.

[Lawrie]

very nice and comforting

i just tell em.."sorry i dont have any cash on me"

[Morals]

I tell them to * off

[Lawrie]

so nice in the season of goodwill

and his name suits that comment so well!

[Morals]

I just hate carol singers. They remind me of Aled Jones....

[Nablo.]

Which one?

[Morals]

The one who sang walking in the air

[Nablo.]

Good, I was worried you were going to insult Aled's singing but the walking in the air kid is fine to do so with

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

we dont get carol singers but if we did i would give my simon cowell style judgements on them before pulling my belt up over my head an saying i cant reach my pockets.

[Jonny Hoare]

The dog eats carol singers.


Vorderman! la la la Smilllllllleee lalalala Poborsky (remember him)

[Lawrie]

i had some carol singers last night who just stood there and sang "We whish you a merry christmas" ....and that was it..my mum gave them a £1 im sorry....but at least KNOW the song!

[Sidders]

There's not many Christmas Carols I don't know. And I'm afraid I have been guilty of carol singing in the past.... oh come on! It's all for charidy!

[Bob23]

I had some carol singer last night. When they finished the first verse, I just stood there staring at them (which can be quite intimidating) so they had to do the second verse. At this point I then remembered that I had no change. Ha ha!!

[Bob23]

Bugger, someone's had the wheels off my car!

[kendra k]

you brits really get into christmas don't you? last night was the first time i heard christmas songs all season and i wanted blood after one song (feliz navidad, if you care.)

[Sam]

I thought Americans were well into Christmas, much more than us.

[kendra k]

i think we're more into the crass comercial aspects of christmas (imagine that!), but not the traditions and customs. carolling is nothing here. advent callendars are not that big either. i don't have one, but they don't make vegan ones.

[Sidders]

This is the first year I've not had an advent calender, mainly because I couldn't afford to buy one!

I thought Thanksgiving was bigger over there?

This is the first year I've not had an advent calender, mainly because I couldn't afford to buy one!

My mum got me another advent calendar this year, so I thought I'd subtly give the hint by not using it till like the 23rd or something. Then she stormed upstairs, put it on my table and said "I'm never buying you one of these again." Subtlety is not my middle name. Still, job done!

[Uglybob]

For my staff Xmas Dinner i got Turnip on my plate. Does anybody else get turnip on their Xmas dinner?

[Sidders]

We had swede, but I don't like it.

[kendra k]

topher- thanksgiving is merely the kick off party for christmas shopping. that holiday should mean more than it does, but they can't comercialise it effectively.

why wouldn't you want an advent calendar?

[MK Chris]

'Cos my mum's bf laughed at me, to be honest!

[kendra k]

beat him up and shove the calendar up his bum. that'll teach him.

[Jonny Hoare]

advent caledars are disspointing. the chocloate is not enough to satisy.
however if they catered for bulumics more i'm sure that would satisfy
