Simple Christmas cheer revisited

As I mentioned in my previous post, "Simple Christmas cheer," the dial-a-carol concept appeals to me.  Yesterday, I called one such service, and three volunteers tackled my two requests, "It Came Upon The Midnight Clear" and "Good King Wenceslas."  "...Midnight Clear" was especially well sung.  Kudos to Amy, Austin, and the other unidentified participant for giving those carols their all.  I appreciated Amy telling me, "Thanks for keeping things interesting for us and not requesting the same old tunes that most people do; it gets repetitive, singing 'Jingle Bells' and 'Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer' all day."
