They haven't started coming to our gate yet, but I am sure they will soon. Now days, after I have had enough, I go to the gate, let them finish their song and as soon as they put their hands out, I break into my best rendition of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" then stick my hand out. To say they are speechless is an understatement. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJReyes Posted November 18, 2018 Posted November 18, 2018 In the Philippines, Christmas officially starts on September 1st when all radio stations are required to play, "I am dreaming of a White Christmas." by Bing Crosby. Be a humbug. Turn off all exterior lights; use black-out curtains for your windows; and pretend no one is at home. The cardinal rule is, "Give and we will be back tomorrow."

Give and more of us will come back tomorrow. Don't give and we will hang around and call you names that sound like "cheapskate" so that all the neighbors know you did not give.

So very true where I used to live they brought them in by the lorry load and one after another would come to your house.It does get annoying after a while.

The dogs sort them Out, Local kids know I will give near Xmas but just try it on, neighbours had their Xmas gift in the 40 meters of Road we did for them, i don't expect too much hassle from them out of Area kids can go elsewhere and bug others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
