I think a lot of the Christmas Carols are translated from the German.
I was in choirs in high school and College both and have a lot of them down
and still remember a lot of the verses. If they've stopped doing that now
then i'm against that. ... Against Stopping doing it. During the holiday
season there can be tinsel coming out of my ears and eyeballs I'd be happy.
I'm used to it. I think its a universal thing.
