And so this was Christmas

[edschweppe]

The gifts have been given and received. The feast has been feasted. And I am home again, and ready for my own long winter's nap.

Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht!
Alles schläft, einsam wacht
Nur das traute hochheilige Paar.
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,
Schlaf im himmlicher Ruh!
Schlaf im himmlicher Ruh.

I like how well that song works in different languages, although it's a little clumsy in French as I recall.

O, nuit de paix, Sainte nuit,
Dans le ciel, lastre bruit.

(that's as far as memory carries me.)
Good, but it doesn't flow as smoothly as in English or German. (Anyone know of any other languages.)
