For those who celebrate these occasions, I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
I am happy to learn about holidays from diverse origins, and I would welcome people sharing information about holidays that they celebrate.
Wikimedia Commons hosts several audio recordings of Christmas carols that have Polish or German associations. Here are a few selections. Any corrections to English translations would be appreciated. ** "El desembre congelat II"* / "December Frozen II"; organ solo performance by User:Metzner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:El_desembre_congelat_II.ogg
* "O Tannenbaum" / "O Christmas Tree", sung in German and English. The lyrics to the modern version of the carol were written in 1824, and the history of the lyrics can be traced to a 16th century folk song. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:U.S._Army_Band_-_O_Tannenbaum.ogg [1]
* "Wśród nocnej ciszy"/ "The Silence of the Night"; produced in association with Wikimedia Polska (the Wikimedia Poland chapter). The original authors of the lyrics and tune are unknown; the carol was first published in the year 1853. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:W%C5%9Br%C3%B3d_nocnej_ciszy.ogg [2]
