Going on now through December 19th (at 11:59PM), you can dial up a live Christmas carol. 24 hours a day. Sung by college students, possibly running only on insomnia, caffeine, self-doubt — and possibly delicious pizza.
The University of Illinois Dial-A-Carol program has been going on for decades. The idea is to bring a little stress relief during finals week — which in turn brings joy to the world, so to speak. Call 217-332-1882. Request whatever holiday tune you want. Even if they don’t know it, they will look it up and give it a go. And if you request Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas” — you put another notch on the Mariah Meter. They sing that song literally HUNDREDS of times a year. Which just sounds….awful. — [eric]
