Christmas carol concert in an English high School
Every year, in the weeks before Christmas, people in Britain wait for the knock on the door followed by a quick bellow of Hark the Herald Angels Sing. Of course, sometimes it is sung very well, other times you open the door and children look at you hopefully after singing just two lines of a well known Christmas carol.
To enforce the work ethic in children, many people stand and insist they get at least one whole carol before parting with money. This can be a sacrifice if the kids aren’t musically gifted.
