WE ALL HAVE SUNG CHRISTMAS CAROLS OR LISTEN ED TO THEM OVER THE HOLIDAYS. ONE I KNOW WE ALL KNOW IS SILENT NIGHT. A SONG WRITTEN
BY TWO AUSTRIANS , A PRIEST AND A TEACHER BACK IN 1818. ITS BEEN KNOWN TO THE ONE SONG SANG ON CHRISTMAS EVE DURING WW1 - THE ONE TIME THAT
NO GUNS WERE HEARD, ONLY THIS ONE SONG.
TO IMAGINE THAT.
