Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all my friends.

Boas Festas e u m feliz Ano Novo to my Portuguese friends


Silent Nighet, Holy Night

Silent night, holy night,
all is calm, all is bright
round yon virgin
mother and child.
Holy infant, so tender and mild,
sleep in heavenly peace,
sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night,
shepherds quake at the sight;
glories stream from heaven afar,
heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born!

Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light;
radiant beams from thy holy face
with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

Silent night, holy night,
wondrous star, lend thy light;
with the angels let us sing,
Alleluia to our King;
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born!

Perhaps you can sing this song silent for ourselve and be warm and glad in your mind.

A Brother Like That

Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it.

"Is this your car, Mister?" he asked.

Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy was astounded. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing? Boy, I wish..." He hesitated. Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels.

"I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that."

Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my automobile?"

"Oh yes, I'd love that."

After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes aglow, said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?" Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again.

"Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked. He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car. "There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm gonna give you one just like it...then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about."

Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride.

That Christmas Eve, Paul learned what Jesus meant when he had said: "It is more blessed to give..."

My Holiday Wish for the World Is That
We all Could Be Brothers Like That.

It should be interesting to know how Silent Night is written on Portugese.

I got better than that! :)

Found a website with the song lyrics translated in some 100 languages, and each language with 1 or more variations. :shock:

On that yellow box on the right it's the "top 10" languages (most requested maybe?) Click on "Other versions" on the bottom of that yellow box on the right to see the full list of languages.

Nighet silencioso, Noite Sagrada

Noite silenciosa, noite sagrada,
todo é tranqüilas, todas é brilhante
Mãe redonda de virgem de yon e criança.
Criança sagrada, tão macio e suave,
O sono em paz celestial,
dorme em paz celestial.

Noite silenciosa, noite sagrada,
tremor de pastores na visão;
glórias correm de céu anfitriões longe,
elestiais cantam
Alleluia! Cristo o Salvador nasce,
Cristo o Salvador nasce!

Noite silenciosa, noite sagrada,
Filho de Deus, luz puro do amor;
vigas radiantes de rosto sagrado vosso com a
alvorada de redimir graça,
Jesus, Senhor, em nascimento vosso,
Jesus, Senhor, em nascimento vosso.

Noite silenciosa, noite sagrada,
estrela maravilhosa, emprestam luz vossa;
com os anjos deixa-nos cantar,
Alleluia a nosso Rei;
Cristo o Salvador nasce,
Cristo o Salvador nasce!

Very interesting. I can see some words is the same in the Portoguese as the English text.

The Portuguese language is nothing to to turn up one's nose at.

Diwali is a superb 5 day festival, I think that it is in Oct / Nov 'ish.

I will be celebrating Hogmonay on Dec 31st as I do every year.

I'll be sin'n wi auld Rabbie well afore the nicht is thruw.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And niver brocht tae mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp,
And surely I'll be mine,
And we'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit,
Sin auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.

And there's a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o thine,
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne

--
Besht wishishes te ye :drinking:
aye and ye :drinking:
and ye :drinking:
and ye :drinking:
(...hopefully I will fit everyone in.
I'll do my besht hic. :joker: )
