Manila authorities have banned Christmas carol singers from the streets for safety reasons and warned Sunday they would round up any who flouted the new rule.

At least it's for safety reasons. Did you know Christmas carols were banned between 1647 and 1660 in England by Oliver Cromwell who thought that Christmas should be a solemn day? And that the tradition of carol singers going from door to door came about because they were banned from churches in the Middle Ages. Check the wiki.
