Carol singing Kids...What do YOU do?
Had some today, opened door (usually if I'm not expecting anyone I usually don't bother answering - I really need to get that CCTV put in above the door 
) - bugger - Bunch of 10yr old boys blurb out an awful rendition of Silent Night.
So, in the old tradition of christmas bah humbug spirit I told them to go away semi-politly.
I was never allowed out to go carol singing at that age unsupervised - so they can sod off!
So what do YOU do (assume you already answered the door).

We get the god Squad round here every year, I just drop some money in the pot for the church and shut the door whilst they are still in full swing.

Never had scroates round here trying to sing, they'd get the door slammed without recompense.

On the basis of the one tonight - take the P*55 out of their awful singing, then chuck a quid at them so they don't get tempted to damage anything whilst I'm out / asleep / whatever. My view. Do they deserve it? probably not. Will I miss a quid? not really. Would I bothered if they took offence and tried to trash something? Yes, and it's more hassle than £1 worth.

Only thing worse than chav kids trying to sing silent night is chav kids trying to sing silent night down a door entry system with a really horrible microphone and a sample rate of 8KHz
Fortunately they dont know which flat is which so I just put the handset down and laugh as the system outside gives no indication that I have done this.

Stand there with a look of amazed delight on your face, freeze until the song is finally over and then choose one of the following:
a) Without losing the look of awe, say "yes - keep going!"
b) Exclaim "wow - thanks for that!" and shut the door
c) Stay perfectly still - like one of those street performers and remain like that until the leave. No blinking, mind!

Had some come round the other night....
I answered the door as there was no singing at first then I got "We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year" (that's it total). As if that was bad enough I was looking one of them square in the eye - and I'm just over 6-feet tall!!!!! I said "bit old for this aren't you lads - You're only about 6-months younger than me" and shut the door.
Heard one of them say "Told you they'd say that" as they walked away.
Don't mind it too much if it's proper kids and they sing a carol but that's just taking the proverbial.
Other option I've always thought is to make them sing all of the twelve days of Christmas and give them a cadburys celebration each. They'd get the message then.

I turned up at my mates house a week ago and as I parked in the drive there were 4 Chavs with a lighter standing at the door blurbing a rendition of band aid (I thought that was highly comical)....I think they left out of embarassment when I couldn't help but join in
