i say that such a crazy thought i just can't then they. say. non. we wrong. i've always been a big christmas obsessed so when it gets to the time i even like a little bit close to where. i'm just going for it like i make it home. and i think my house and myself i mean yes there is a money making thing we mustn't deny this i was it is you know so it's valentine's day. but somehow. i don't can't raise much money as you know i'm going happen to think i am so everyone else by the christmas mocks the birth of jesus christ. for christmas day falls on december 25th a public holiday. this is the celebration stopped the previous evening on christmas

eve again. and they're not in most countries where the holiday is marked the christmas season already gets underway november with christmas lights and christmas markets in the house back so i can say that's true insults ball to where the crist can go market is a tradition that stretches back 525 years that the history of europe's christmas market states to the late middle ages when they exist in many parts of the former roman empire. the pursue for common visitors come to look for gifts to enjoy themselves in. chicago. by next tides sides were christmas time inside sport is simply fantastic i was here for my 1st mozart weekly public through

a new production of the opera lucho cielo it was being staged here and i was there for the rehearsals and this is so it's so wonderful so spiritual is it really is something very special because one that's. in mexico by methods in mexico a lot of music is played at christmas had. film music there's a lot of rhythm to that music and these are the christmas songs called b. and c. corps are important and you celebrate with a lot of joy and happiness and light and christmas spent with family and friends of course it's a wonderful time it's an eternity. many as 3 men from my 1st christmas recollection is i'm not sure they pass this time it's a song that just comes when we're all together in the north or other parts of north sure there are more time to be trying to do it you that i went to a german school in of course i learned there that the original is in german and i

was going to. it's. soviet cage he said so really this is perhaps the most famous christmas song that there is is keep us into translated everywhere. if you like mind itself perhaps my 1st memory of christmas music is this song is still i mean that beginning. on what it is without words it soothes you good things for me that melody and it lets us. has been very good moves us really like like a lullaby. and this is kind of but it isn't a lullaby it also has something that lets our soul dance. and then again on that note. you know. these have been these movements in the music they build.

one down. it's my finally it opens up like a flower but it's not over yet it's not a heroic song sleet then it goes. then it comes back to earth once more to everyone for us very urgently so it think it starts like a caress that goes on and on and i like the vibe of vibe to you bruce your chest opens up the music comes out and then it returns moving inwards again with everything that the message carries that not just. the big boy to the is hot it comes back to us. in the zenith in that sense silent night is perfect as a title. statement on this silent night it's fantastic.

the. war the. oh. the oscars was the. birth. of the world. around you know the. you know national. poetry

so this a question. in class in smaller cities the atmosphere is very different to that of the christmas capital such as london or new york or new york where you certainly don't feel that it's a silent time of year and cite this you have this. about it's wonderful all the same in its own black. pants.

play. christmas is a little colder little documenting when singing christmas feels more traditional. but. they make a good they should make a lot of effort there on the slopes of christmas feeling and possibly some people around but i suppose i think like i do i think christmas none of his face flushed. slightly.

before the song and it actually was very intimate knows about the people close to surrounds you. feel. a connection with them on a holiday spirit and you know holiness is so beautiful because it's a chance to start again to write this like and spot the freshman and. obviously just don't always like a religious idea but i think it has been adopted by 6 years of climate science be together and be around people and give people gifts because it doesn't. play.

now. she. says. tom force. some a christmas has to be a white. christmas in paris but it makes sense they celebrate christmas

in our very beautiful way with all the lights it's a very it's one of my favorite time of the year. all. the. silent night is. deeply linked with christianity. but to me this song belongs to humanity it belongs to a lot of people to every single person regardless your religion or your belief.

unfun internees i'm sorry i didn't test the biggest muslim country in the world so i'm from a muslim family but my father. was an author who is a book writer he wanted his children to have a very open mind and super tolerant and he prefers and that's why he put us in a catholic school so i did all my education with the nuns. to

. her. young.

i think dad this song has nothing to do with a place or time. it has something to do with spirit and with connecting people together because i think that everyone in the world as we see now in this song in silent night there's plenty of versions in all kind of languages all over the world and it connects people and i think that's the purpose of this song and that's what's great about it that it connects people together and it brings everyone together. sontag.

was the. bad. news. all. gone.

hole to. come spilling.

c gold. on well the 1st time i heard this song was when i was maybe 3 years old and it was in arabic since i am so that's the 1st version i've ever learned to sing and i wanted to a lot of people in the world don't know that it exists in arabic because they don't know that they are you know christian arabs and i was like. ok let me sing it in arabic and show you that we have our own version. and i love this version i think it adds some. authentic. spirit to the song and here's another you know by a view to silence. was was.

was was. was was. was. around. the it. was barry. feeling and many legends and stories around the christmas truce along the western front of world war one in 1914 in one half probably the most accurate account was recorded by british commanding

officer field marshall douglas hake in his diary and pocket. the other british every british soldier received a small package as a gift from the king on the on the it also included a princess mary box. which contained chocolate cigarettes tobacco and a greeting card from the princess. of the gate and said on the other side of the german soldiers received a community funded gift box from their hometowns as well as parcels from their families with warm clothes food with alcohol cigarettes and letters to give it to the place in contrast to the later years of the war there was still no significant scarcity of foodstuffs and luxury goods in germany in 1914 or. so the amount that the country's military command also sent tens of thousands of

miniature christmas trees to the german front to be lit up at christmas and that there are. doubtless headaches account of wartime events is listed in the unesco's world memory register of documentary heritage out. there on this. driving force in december 1914. i've noted down to some omerta dining at the king of the prince of wales to. there. you can seem very cheery but inclined to think that all our troops are by nature brave and is ignorant of all the effort which commanders must make to keep

up the morale of their men in war and all of the training which is necessary in peace in order to enable a company for instance to go forward as an organized unit in the face. of almost certain death. i told him of the crowds of fugitives who came back down the 1000000 road during the probe at. having thrown everything they called into doing that rifles and packs in order to escape the look. that suit turned up on their faces such as i have never before seen. on any human being.

on christmas eve 914 and almost ghostly calm had descended on the british trenches the men were chilled to the bone by the bitter cold and the horrors of war. period. of. a year. the in the german trenches men began singing and now the wind carried their voices across enemy lines echoing eerily in the ears of british troops hunkered down in their own trenches initially they thought it was a trap until one of the british soldiers recognized the children and began singing the carol in english. all in. all. all.

virgins. oh 'd it is. slowly been held a lonely he. sleep in the game. according to field marshall hates diary entries december 25th 1914 was a surprisingly warm winters dad. the sun was shining even a hint of spring seemed to be in the ass when a german sergeant made a spontaneous and brave decision.

alarms the british prepared for combat. but one noncommissioned officer recognized the german sergeant's intentions and quickly decided to reciprocate the peaceful gesture chaps are certainly showed some.

of those years. you're. one of the last but it was i to myself this was just a lot of. michael's life. and this is how silent night not only brought about a miraculous christmas truce in 1914 it also became a song that symbolizes world peace the 1st quest for ceasefire took place was an authorized. it came about soley because on both sides people shanta christian idea that christmas is a celebration of maple enough. was .

was. which is ironic is it not that the. abiding memory. of that war should be that moment of peace of humanity. in 115 when i was commander in chief. there were calls for us to repeat that almost as. henry. i. would not allow. to see. it is no good for

fighting moron. to see your l.a. as human. of course. no good at all. desert and dunk we should be thankful that humankind has the right to live on this wonderful planet for the planet that we call home for housing that. is owed to we should look inward high and contemplate the gift but queens to us by more and group with their song silent night and of the international. izard we should join together in celebrating the true spirit of christmas and lovely this community and peace and.

in the end when we hear the 1st notes of the song or sing them our sounds in. then we can get a sense of what use of more and france group must have felt back then. on christmas in the year 1818. and then man. born again. all ring to meet man. carry believe. play in.
