You're nuts then, cuz that was awesome.  Only thing that could have made it better is if it was Beethoven's Ninth instead.

I have to agree with Erik here. I'm not sure why, but as I've gotten older I've lost the zeal for Christmas. I think it's because so many kids have transitioned from wanting gifts to wanting money. It's not as fun and exciting to give a card with cash, but at the same time if I buy something they don't like it hurts a little. That's not to say I begrudge others who really enjoy it though, and I wish I could get back to that myself.

This would have been my face:

Same. Would have just been annoyed.

In the spirit of the day:

Merry Christmas!

Cool.

I would have just wanted to eat my lunch. This would have been, as @Slice of Life said, annoying.

My high school calc teacher used to sing in class sometimes. I gave the same look then. Just so annoying. NOT something in which I wanted to participate. Awkward.

Okay, that's annoying. . .

Say what??? Did we watch the same video? What do presents and money have to do with whether or not you like an impromptu chorus? Erik, I get it, and I'd agree with you in the case of your high school teacher or even some random schmos in the mall. But these CLEARLY are not random schmos but a well trained chorus, probably from the local Symphony. Say what you will, but to me this is freaking beautiful!!

Meh.

If I want to hear a chorus singing, I'll go to see a chorus singing.

I'd have been annoyed. Just let me eat in peace. Stop doing "art" while I'm trying to enjoy my food and a conversation with my family. :)

This seemed to be holiday related to me, perhaps it wasn't.

Fair enough.  Different strokes.  (For the record, my first instinct would also have been to get annoyed, however, it would have quickly turned.)

It's holiday related in that it's a Christmas-ish song and it happened in December, but the sentiment is just that people are singing in a mall for others to enjoy ... or not.  Here, the below was from July 2012, so very not Christmas.  (Also per my wish from above :))  What do you think of that:

I would be indifferent, I wouldn't stop and watch the performance. If other people enjoy it, that's great.

Plus 2.

Why can't we give skins anymore? I understand the lack of skins in the LR but it's seems like the areas where we can give and receive skins has become really quite narrow.

Here @Golfingdad , this will have to do:

November 13th. Literally the first thing in the video. :)

Because, in the Grill Room, as in the Locker Room, people were giving skins for things that had nothing to do with golf (like political beliefs). Since they're both basically "off topic" areas… no skins here or the Locker Room.

Skins represent one's golf-related contributions.

Just wanted to download this… so posting here. :)
