Chrismtas is Coming!!

[The Master]

As The Master once said"It must be";

Stille Nacht - Franz Gruber

Always to be in sung Deutsch. It moves my deeply and reminds me of all humanity, in particular the World war One - 1914 troops self imposed ceasefire.
For one day they all became friends, a brotherhood of mankind.The next day they returned to killing each other.
I'm sure Beethoven would have been moved at such waste of life.

Happy Christmas everyone, a peaceful and prosperous new year to you all.

I am Jewish so I don't officially celebrate Christmas, but unofficially I have prevailed upon my wife to give me a CD set of the complete cantatas of an obscure German composer from the town of Leipzig...can't remember his name right now, darn it..on the tip of my tongue.. but I shall enjoy those cantatas anyway!

To add to list of beautiful carols and such all of you have listed, I'd like to just put in a word for Bing Crosby's classic version of 'White Christmas', composed by the Jewish Irving Berlin. This song evokes the season very fondly for me.

Happy Hanukkah, Chaszz!
