... or two (tears). Happy Christmas!!
"Stille Nacht... holy night..."
(We do not get that brand here, I do not get money for sharing this)
I confess, I do not like soccer, yet I live in Braunschweig where soccer was brought to first from Great Britain.
Wiki says: "...Konrad Koch (13 February 1846 – 13 April 1911) was a German teacher and football pioneer... In 1875, Koch published the first German version of the rules of football, ... The new game was quickly adopted by other schools in Braunschweig and spread to other cities during the late 1870s,..."
In Germany today is THE day.
Santa usually pops up around 07:00 p.m., when kids are sent to their room after.. potatoe-salad with Würstchen (cold sausage).
And then maybe this song pops up.
Or, as in our case, a bell rings - then you are allowed to RUN into the living room to find wrapped up pressies under the festively lighted Christmas tree from Santa.
We all wish...PEACE. UNDERSTANDING. It´s so easy, no? The music suits both languages, English AND German.
Isn´t Russian and Ukrainian as similar.

We are all one.
HO-HO-HO - Merry Christmas! And yes, not even 05:00 a.m. - I think I´m REALLY on the way up, health-wise. Also I need to recycle, my life is so exciting! Also I have not been outside in more than a week.
Maybe I meet Santa?
Video: Ingo found it, not me. So from both of us, Merry Christmas! 💙💛

Ingo´s work :-)
Happy Christmas !
Same to you!
This made me cry. I remember my dad telling stories about this, it actually happened that they sang together and were friends for a day. I remember also my parents singing Silent Night in German with my older sister who still remembered it. I think she still can even now, my sister. She was four years old already when we came to Australia.
...yes, Christmas is for sharing. This is a fabulous ad. We have more in common than what makes us different. Merry Christmas and peace be with you.
River, my parents were no church-people but I sure know still a children´s prayer and Stille Nacht a bit.
My Nieces likely go to church tonight and maybe even are in a play there. (Yet, and that is what I miss about this, they might not call me - be there for your people is a definition...)

Tom, yes, why is this so difficult to understand and live it? I will never get this. To a Merry Christmas and Peace on Earth.
Merry Christmas to you.
Before I knew it, I was watching Christmas commercials for half an hour. There are very beautiful ones, this one that you showed too. How beautiful it would be if something like this happened, now
Fröhliche Weihnachten
Merry Christmas to you and Ingo.
Happy Christmas Eve!
Merry Christmas Iris, have a great day.
Merry Christmas to you & Ingo. It is almost time for Santa to come to your place to say hello. Enjoy.
From round the other side of the world, Merry Christmas to you and Ingo! I hope you get to have a great day together, and, yes, this world so desperately needs this message of Peace and Goodwill to ALL men. Hugz, Mxx
Merry Christmas to you and Ingo.
All the best Jan
On our days off we don't go anywhere either, especially in Winter. Hope you both had a nice xmas day.
This ad is wonderful. I have LONG loved this story. One of my favorite Christmas songs is "Christmas in the Trenches" by John McCutcheon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJi41RWaTCs -- when you have a chance, take a listen.
