Pieter,
thanks for reminding the history of Stille Nacht. I did not realize that it had Austrian origin, but the Salzburg or Alps atmosphere could help it out. Referring to the war, it is a pity that the soldiers could not just keep out of the war after 1914 Christmas. I have heard that Brits and Germans were playing a soccer game also to memorize this night 100 years ago when they played soccer game also.

He's my brother
Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter. The pharmacist at the counter asked the older boy, "Son, how old are you?' 'Eight', the boy replied. The man continued, 'Do you know what these are used for?' The boy replied, 'Not exactly, but they aren't for me. They're for him. He's my brother. He's four." "Oh, really?" the pharmacist replied with a grin.
"Yes." the boy said. "We saw on TV that if you use these, you would be able to swim, play tennis and ride a bike. Right now, he can't do any of those."
