Carol singers greeted by seven-year-old Andrew Davis when they turned up on his doorstep must have thought it was their lucky day.
Confronted by the group singing 'We Wish You A Merry Christmas', the kind-hearted youngster found £120 lying on the kitchen table top and promptly handed it over.

Now his father Howard is pleading for the return of the money saying it was donated by mistake and that the cash had been intended to pay the child minder.
Mr Davis, 45, discovered the cash missing at his home in Andover, Hants, and quickly realised generous Andrew had given it away.
Mr Davis said: 'Apparently there were three teenage lads at the door singing 'We Wish You A Merry Christmas' at the door and he went to find some money.
'I'd left the £120 on the kitchen table top pay for a child minder and he must have just picked it up and given it to them.
'I'm hoping they realise £120 is a bit much for singing one song and come and give it back.
'I know it's the season of goodwill but no-one is that generous.'

Awwww... bless his little cotton socks :)

Very dodgy Carole Singers taking that sort of money from a 7 year old, I doubt it was the W.I. or local Rotary, no chance of getting it back!

Lol, 'to pay the childminder', he wants to try being one, I'd never let my kids open my door alone at that age.

Very strange 'story' 7 year old answering the door ?. Then just happens to go and get money for the alledged Carol singers without question. When was the last time anyone has seen teenage lads Carol singing ? (to the nearest 5 years) Most of them are too pissed to string a sentence together by 7 pm never mind sing a Carol. Maybe some local do gooder will reimburse him, so then he can have another night out.
