Have you ever gone Christmas Caroling? Neither has Lisa. Apparently there is something really funny about the fact that Jill has. Also... if you're an alcoholic... would drinking blood stop your addiction or create an entirely different problem?

Anyways, I'll post the link inthe show notes so you can go
read it if you want to whenwe're done. It's on Scary for Kids
dot com and it's called Carol Singers. Are you ready for a story?
(05:40):
Yeah? Are they ready for astory? Yeah? The Carol Singers is
a scary story for Christmas about akid whose father and grandfather go from door
to door begging for money. It'sbased on an old horror story by Bernard
(06:00):
Capes called The Vanishing House. Mygrandfather was a drunk and my father was
a drunk, but I never toucheda drop. There's a reason for that.
When I was young, times werehard, and I grew up poor.
My grandfather and my father never didan honest day's work in their lives.
(06:23):
Grandfather wasn't good for much, buthe played the clarinet like an artist.
He taught my father how to playthe accordion. Every Christmas they would
gather a group of their friends andgo from door to door playing Christmas music,
singing Christmas carols, and begging formoney. Afterwards, they would all
go downtown to the pub and spendit on alcohol. One Christmas Eve they
(06:44):
brought me with them. I wastoo young to play an instrument, so
they handed me a triangle and toldme to strike it every down them.
The night was dark, the snowwas falling, and a cold December wind
cut through us like a knife.We kept our heads down and trudged through
the snow and the Eventually my grandfatherstopped and said, this looks like as
(07:04):
good a place as any. Wewere outside a big mansion decorated with Christmas
lights. My grandfather knocked on thefront door and began to place some old
Christmas carols. The door of thehouse swung open, and in the dim
light, I saw a young womanstanding there. She was holding a tray
of glasses in her hand. Witha smile, she picked up a glass
(07:26):
and held it out, inviting oneof the men to drink. My grandfather
rubbed his hands together with glee andtook the glass. Just then I looked
up and in the window above Isaw a face peering out of the shadows,
a face that was hideous beyond words. I looked back at the woman
in the doorway, and her facewas hideous too. Before I could stop
him. My grandfather put the glassto his lips and knocked it back with
(07:50):
one big gulp. Oh dear,said the woman in an eerie, childish
voice. You've drunk blood, sir. With that, the door slammed shut.
My grandfather stumbled backwards and the glassfell from his hands. It shattered
with a deafening crash, and hecollapsed in the snow. I don't remember
(08:15):
much after that. All I recallis waking up in the light of the
dawn and finding myself laying in thesnow. The other men were lying all
around me, just waking up themselves. My father got to his feet and
rubbed his head. The woman haddisappeared, and the house was boarded up
and abandoned, and all that wasleft was a dark red stain in the
(08:37):
snow where the glass had broken.My grandfather lay there in the snow beside
it, his face all purple andswollen. He was as dead as a
door nail. We hurried home thatmorning and called the police. The police
picked up my grandfather's body and broughtit to the mortuary. My father told
them what had happened, but theydidn't believe a word of his tail.
(08:58):
They said that the house have beenvacant for over a hundred years. After
that night, my father was neverthe same man again. He never let
another drop of alcohol touch his lipsand made sure I did the same.
Is that it? That's it?Really? Wow? You heard that story
