I don't think I've ever seen carollers in real life - only on tv or in movies.

That's a nice story about Bono. I just looked at his wikipedia page. Looks like he was meant to be raised Catholic but ended up Anglican. His mom died when he was 14. Wonder if that was before or after he sang for your aunt.

Even the nickname Bono comes from Bono Vox (bonavox) - Latin for good voice.
