Carolling Through the Season
Christmas remains my favorite season not just for the ambiance and the gift giving but mostly because one is officially allowed to sing carols. Interesting to discover that there is actually a government department in Austria – the only one of its kind – that looks after holiday songs. It helps those people that have a favorite carol from childhood but cannot remember all the words. Located in the scenic city of Graz, the department has a catalog of over 50,000 songs from all over the world and as well as a handy help desk to help people: all you have to do is call in and hum a tune
