Call For a Christmas Carol

Tell you what: If you really need this, just call me and I'll sing any Christmas carol you want. Your ears will hurt like heck, but still.....Associated Press gave us the example of the University of Illinois, where telephone caroling was huge this year. Those in charge of the service, which is free, say it's a way to help students cope with the stress of finals. Students at the school volunteer to take calls and sing requests. They took 5,700 calls this year, up from 4,000 the year before. The top requests? "Jingle Bells" and Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas." Hey, where did "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" and Foxworthy's "12 Redneck Days" finish in the rankings? Merry Christmas everyone. DB
