We had a Carol service last week at work with a local school choir. Unfortunately it was out of hours, so I didn't attend.

We usually get the full works with brass band an’ all. They’re a bit like that round here.

They might get killed or at least robbed these days.

Police hunt carol singers who steal decorations from gardens - as neighbours warn of chalk marks left on empty houses to tip off burglars

When I was growing up we used to go carolling around the houses, not too long long ago, early 80s. Not seen any for years now though.

I went to see Carols With One Thousand Candles in the local Cathedral last night. Really nice to hear carols in such a beautiful backdrop.
