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.

* "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.
