one of these days I'm going to go stand at the door with a hot drink and wait for them to sing properly I may even join in, I'll wrap up warm first of course or I might catch a cold, I could take a chair to sit on :partyhat:

Land mines along the path usually stops `em!

Give them a rendition of 'backstreet's back' by way of reciprocation.

I may pretend to be a mormon and invite them in for a serious chat about god, that should shift 'em

Me and a few friends went when we were in Primary School and a lot of the people, especially older and a few with kids really liked it, the kiddies joined in. One of my mates was a really good singer which helped I suppose!

got no problem with real carol singers, it's just the scroungers who know about 3 words and think thats enough before putting their hand out, usually the same ones who come round trick or treating and think shouting boo as you open the door makes up for for being about ten years too old

If any come to me, I'll just tell 'em "look, it's not Christmas yet, sod off and come back in 3 weeks when it's closer to Christmas".. I wouldn't mind so much if they were any good for most of them can't sing for toffee.
