Carol singers

What do you give carol singers if they call at the door? Not a cracker joke but a proper question. :o


I am also on the look out for a nice traditional carols CD to put on in the background. Nothing choir female high pitch or pop just a calm traditional kind.

Mum traditionaly likes the Messiah but she also likes to turn it up full blast which irritates and gives me a headache after a few hours of continual play.

Thanks

:)

    Are carol singers not usually collecting for charity? They are round here anyway, unless they're little kids, in which case they get sweets if I have any.
