New in the snack-machine today: Walkers turkey and stuffing flavoured crisps, with "Merry Crispmas" emblazoned across the front of the packet.

In a probably-doomed attempt to swim against the tide of tinselled tat, I'd really like to get to a decent Nine Lessons and Carols service this year. However, I haven't really had much to do with churches in Cambridge, for obvious reasons, so any recommendations welcomed. Not sure yet whether I feel like going the whole way and queueing for the famous one, though.

It's particularly at Christmas that I realise how much I miss chapel choir, actually. Does anybody know of any Cambridge college chapels who let non-students (not even ex-students of Cambridge) sing with their choir? I sing alto/tenor, can read pointed psalms, and can sight-sing reasonably confidently (though less so in auditions, natch).

It isn't helpful, but they had an advent carol service at GSM last night, at which I read one of the lessons.

GSM is doing a big carol service on the 21st of December - see
http://www.ely.anglican.org/parishes/camgsm/christmas.html for details

I suspect all the city center churches will do *something*, but I'd have thought GSM is most likely to do the 9l+c.

Super, I can make that date, and I agree GSM sounds like a good bet for a traditional-stylee 9L&C with no tambourines. ;-) Thank you!
