Winter brings us to the singers

[sovay]

There are honest-to-God carolers on my street. I thought they were a passing car or a radio, but they are five or six people with sheet music in hand standing on the steps at a slight diagonal across the street, appropriately next to a large conifer, singing "Ding Dong Merrily on High." I guess it is that season.

[edit] And now they are gone. I heard nothing after the last round of hosanna in excelsis and when I looked out, I couldn't see them anymore. They do not appear to have moved on to any other house; I can't hear them anywhere else on the street. If they went indoors, they sure didn't turn on the lights.

I guess it's ghost story for Christmas season, too.

Maybe they were like carol grams or something.

Or a carol snapchat message, vanishing after they do their thing.

Maybe they were like carol grams or something.

That is certainly more realistic than ghosts, but I didn't even think of it.

Perhaps they’re Batman/ninjas? Not sure if that explanation is more or less realistic than ghosts.

Perhaps they’re Batman/ninjas?

I like the idea of ninja carolers, although then I feel I shouldn't have seen them at all.
