[QUOTE="O'Rothlain, post: 165237"] I think it depends where you live. I know they still exist, but I live just outside of the city on an acrege (sp). It's a dying breed, though. When I was younger my dad would always organize a group from the church to go to 'round to the elderly members of our congregations homes and to nursing homes to sing. That was always a lot of fun, IMO. Some churches hold "Carol Services" on Christmas Eve night, and I always make a habit to find one and attend (even if it's not my own) that night. Unfortunately all the songs with religious context are like a "no no" to do in public places here. Companies are scared to say Merry Christmas and stick to the "non-offensive" Happy Holidays. Even though it is Christmas, fewer people are saying it. So, in the malls you'll have small choirs (usually childrens groups, womens groups, ect) singing, but they tend to stick to the Jingle Bells and Deck the Halls sort of business. Those are fine, I love them...It just really burns me about Christmas no longer being PC. I should start a Carroling Revolution! [/QUOTE]
