Top ten Carols and things you didn't know about them

The carol, as a religious song for a particular season, dates back to the 13th century but it hit glory days during the next century gaining widespread popularity.

The concept of the world's first choir boy band came to light back in 2005 when Universal Records began auditions across the country with the premise of plugging a gap in the market. Thankfully this process didn't deteriorate into a shambolic X-Factor type affair and from the thousands of youngsters that managed to roll out of bed and get to the event on time, three Aled Jones wannabes were chosen, those being Ben, Patrick and CJ. The trio's debut album managed to sell 500,000 copies and hit the number one spot in the classical charts.
As with most things though it didn't last and eighteen months in the vocal life of certain choir boys came in to question. With raging hormones the vocal capacity of a pubescent teen can prove critical hence the new line up that presents itself here with the release of this season's new album entitled 'The Carols Album'.

Every year, my wife and I take turns spending Christmas with our families; one year, we’ll spend it with mine, the next we’ll spend it with hers. I grew up in the midwest. Christmas time was always very cold and very snowy. My wife is from Florida. Christmas time for her included palm trees, shorts, and the air conditioner cranked up full blast.
This year, we’re spending the holidays in Florida. We’re here now, sweating through our Christmas cheer, but that’s not what I want to write about. I want to tell you a story.
Flashback to two days ago. It was around 10 pm, and we were hurtling down I-75 toward our destination. It had been raining off and on for the last hour or so. I was driving our yellow ‘05 Xterra, the cat was curled up on my lap, the dog was sleeping in the back, Stephanie was sitting next to me, and Stephen King was telling us Lisey’s Story through the speakers.
Traffic slowed suddenly, and I braked hard. Ahead of us, in the left-
