Yes. I miss the real spirit of Christmas when it was about spreading joy and not about spending huge amounts of money.

Ive never experienced that. People are nuts and it's not safe

we still have carol singers but it is more of a planned voluntary event, near lights displays or touristy venues, singers come dressed up (usually victorian-ish) and audience folks come to watch and join in the singing, share (spiked) hot drinks

I haven't seen that since I was young.

No, honestly they would truly annoy me. And I'm not being cynical in the least.

I’ve never lived anywhere they did that in neighborhoods. I like coming across groups when I’m out n about though. Feels warm. We should just do stuff like that all year. LOL

Thankfully not. Cringeworthy experience

I've never had that happen.

It would be cool if those types of things were still common.
