I muss the carolers coming around on Christmas Eve. I also miss Santa sitting upon the firetruck waving at the children as the truck drove up and the down the streets. Now carolers are barred from going to homes even if asked to, because of political correctness. It is a sad loss of community togetherness and the spirit of goodwill.

Definitely can't go wrong with bringing the spirit and love.
All the ones who oppose it are probably Grumpy spiritless people, who have no appreciation for that.
(Note: and obviously I don't even celebrate Christmas...)

I enjoyed the Christmas carolers who went through our historic neighborhood back home in Vrginia. They brought all of us great pleasure! We would treat them to hot drinks, etc.

We had a chorus come by our work offices the other day and it transformed everyone for the better. Loved it.

Better more people hold candles and sing than hold guns and shoot.

Sorry, but if a bunch of people I don't know were singing to my door I would be kinda creeped out.

Perhaps when you will be a lil older and face the "real creepy" world out there, you would appreciate that kind of warmness! :)

I just don't like them at the front door and then you have to stand in the doorway and look like an idiot for five minutes listening to them sing before you tell them you don't have any cash on you. It's a totally awkward experience.

I have been to many Nursing homes caroling and I KNOW those that are visited grasp at the chance to have the Human touch even if only for a few minutes.

Call it cheesy if you want but unless you've actually seen it in play you have no room to judge.

But this cheeriness is wholly dependent on the carolers themselves. Too shy can be just as bad as too aggressive. I was once visited by a group of carolers so shy they just stood there for a good minute before making awkward eye contact and backing off the front porch. Ah! Memories.

It has to be done well and in the right place. Otherwise, it would be cheesy and annoying.

Why do I want to be disturbed to listen to a bunch of idiots singing carols badly, and then have to pay them money? Even if it's 'for fun' it's a ridiculous tradition and I will be locking iron gates outside of my house to keep them out. And apparently it's considered 'rude' to slam the door in their faces?

I think spitting stupid vitriol at ones neighbors for doing something innocuous and definitely cheerful is cheesy, far far cheesier than christmas caroling. I mean, who is being beheaded or lashed or flogged or stoned to death or robbed by people who want to celebrate the birthday of their christ?

Next dumb question?

Maybe the good kind of cheesy, yeah, but not something I would ever participate in or what interrupting what I'm doing by coming to my door. I'm all for caroling, just not door-to-door caroling.

I've been doing a lot of caroling lately. I was actually just singing Angels we have heard on high when I saw this question.

The sad thing is that over in UK it is something that I miss . I used to love carol singing in large groups for charity ,and people were so generous . but now it just seems that our Christmas's of old are disappearing . Mariah Carey just doesn't do it for me , it has to be Oh Holy Night for it to feel like Xmas to me ....

That's better , now it feels like CHRISTMAS
