The other one in Philly at the Macy’s was a not as spontaneous but reminds people the reason of the season.

both the Macy's and the food court flash mobs were planned, weren't they? in both, the singers seemed to be shoppers until they burst into song...

Yes. I am not sure what this purist definition of flash mobs are. I guess people are supposed to be you get alerted to show up spontaneously. ??? I think most of the time they are done.

This takes a bit more planning to do Handel's Messiah. Maybe not purely a flash mob but the shoppers at both locations were suprised and I wish I had been at both. I mean - I have to put up with awful Christmas songs for cash like Obama pals Gloria Estefan or Bruce Springsteen singing awful “Christmas songs” to line their pockets more.

I wish when i am in Lowes or Target or anywhere during Christmas - this would happen. How controversial - Christmas songs actually about Christ. Versus Springsteen singing about getting drunk at Christmas down on the Jersey shore. I guess Christians now can only sing Christmas songs in public undercover as "flash mobs" now or we will get dragged off to the gulag.

The one at Macy’s wasn’t a surprise to anyone. It was a wonderful scene nonetheless. The one in Toronto, while not truly a “flashmob” was a surprise for everyone not involved with the choral group. Both were quite enjoyable
