It s that time of the year when Christmas carol melodies seem to haunt you. Whether it s blaring from shopping outlets sound systems or your child who is practicing for her Christmas performance, the carols are infectious. Before you know it, you re humming Jingle Bells as you sit at your office computer. Though Egypt seems to be joining in the Christmas spirit more each year, with tinsel and cotton hung in shop windows and street peddlers hawking twinkling red felt Christmas caps, there s still nothing like carolers to get you in the holiday mood. This week, take your family to one of the many concerts around town for a boost of holiday spirit.
