Times are hard

Hope you made them sing the carol to the end, and then closed the door

It is quite unusual. Do you think they needed money?

We had some lads of about 17 one year and that was a bit strange too.

I didn't know what to do to be honest, we would normally give kids sweets or a bit loose change but just thought WTF to be honest

We had some teens a few years ago. They sounded terrible but I'm sure they appreciated my warmed up mince pies!!

Adults though? Yes, slightly odd.

I suppose they could have fallen on hard times since they bought them.

Did they sing carols as opposed to Christmas songs? Maybe they were spreading the Christian message.

I would have found it just as strange as you though.

Did they at least give a good rendition? I'm sick to death of 'we wish you a merry Christmas'.

I don't care how old they are, I'm not paying for anything less than 'once in royal David's city' or 'hark the herald angels sing'.

Proper Christmas carols.

they didn't have any ID or collecting tin, they were just a young well dressed couple belting out away in a manger, never spoke, just said thanks when I gave then their Ribena

We used to do it with neighbors for charity, including some high profile celebrities - we always had some drinks and nibbles as we went around . It may not be suspicious
