U.S. Post Office Bans Christmas CarolersA group of Christmas carolers was thrown out of a U.S. Post Office in Silver Spring, MD, after the post office manager told them they were not allowed to sing Christmas carols on government property. A spokesman for the U.S. Postal Service confirmed the incident occurred Saturday at a branch office in the Aspen Hill Shopping Center. A trio of carolers walked into the building dressed in attire reminiscent of Charles Dickens and began singing. “They were only a few notes into their carol when suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a scowling postal manager rushing to confront the carolers,” said JP Duffy, who was standing in a line with his wife and two-year-old daughter. Duffy, who also happens to be a staff member of the Family Research Council, said he was stunned by what happened next. “He told them that they had to leave immediately because they were violating the post office’s policy against solicitation,” Duffy said. “He told them they couldn’t do this on government property. He said: ‘You can’t go into Congress and sing and you can’t do it here either.’” Read more: radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/u-s-post-office-bans-christmas-carolers.html

I think it was the right thing to do. It's a government building, and Christmas Caroling belongs outdoors, not indoors where people are trying to conduct business.
Stand outdoors at the street cornier pr something., but not inside the post office.
