Good grief - carol singer.

[ailbhe]

Bing bong, open door, single teenage girl sings "We wish you a merry Christmas" badly and the hallway fills with the smell of cigarette smoke. I pop my head out to see where the stink comes from and realise at least one other girl is doing the same further down the street. The girl at our door had a bucket covered in tinfoil; Rob gave her 50p or so.

Why not sing together? Daft. Not collecting for charity, obviously. Bah. One reads in books - Susan Cooper, heh - of carol singers in choirs singing a whole song at each house. Humbug.
