Few hours ago after we finished our dinner, the dogs ran to the gate and started barking. I peeped out of the window but I can't see anybody so I called out the name of one dog; still they continued barking incessantly.
I therefore went out and at the right side of our gate were 3 kids--- 1 boy and 2 taller girls singing their Christmas carols. But when I went nearer, the boy sang "Feliz Navidad", 1 girl sang "O, Holy Night", and the other girl started to sing "Merry Christmas to you".
I went near them, and told them that they should sing in synchrony with just one song and not like a jukebox or radio. I also told them to go home at 9pm for safety reasons.
After our house, they rode on a tricycle and left. They are residents of another village or barangay here in our city.

@ridingbet yes and we also have like musical intruments such as soda drink and if we are lucky enough to be gifted with any musical instrument much much better.

@Mavic123456 before, i also joined in carols with my childhood friend. we would put the coins in a can and opened it when it was full.

yes, that should be the case to come up with beautiful songs sung on carols.

Good advice you gave! Did you give them a cookie too? Here, we give carolers a cookie.

@Jeanniemaries but giving cookies after their caroling is nicer, because i think it is the essence of 'gift-giving' this Christmas

@ridingbet Probably true these days. I haven't had any for awhile and the last time I did they were from our youth group at church and enjoyed cookies since they knew me. Probably if they didn't know someone they might hesitate to accept a cookie these days.

yes that is true, but hearing 3 voices and singing different tunes at the same time is not good.
All singing different tunes oh my.
Poor little souls oh yes to go home to safety.@ridingbet (66854)

yes, but their different songs did make me told loud to them. they were not in synchronization, really.
