Mette, that's so neat to hear about the holidays in another culture. I never stop to think about the fact that so many people in so many different countries celebrate Christmas in different ways. I'm sure everyone's local radio stations does something similar... Ours plays Martina McBride's version of I'll Be Home For Christmas, and troops from the area that are overseas say a little message to their families. I'm almost crying thinking about it. They also put the messages in "I Don't Care How You Get Here (Get Here If You Can)" [alright, so now I'm crying :rolleyes: ] It's awful to not be with loved ones, but it's so much harder when it's the holidays. It's times like these that make me realize what a huge sacrafice all of our armed forces make. |
My favorite is O Holy Night, I love how Martina McBride sings it, I like Celine dions christmas cd but I also love all songs by Bing and sinatra ;) |
Hey, does anyone know the song by Faith Hill, that was on How the Grinch Stole Christmas... |

Daddy don't get drunk This was the christmas song I meant - that is the funniest (and saddest) song I know. We all scream hilariously when the radio plays it... In Denmark we call stuff like this "black humor" - wonder what the term is in english? I heard a 12 year old tell a black humor joke the other day btw - Denmark has a lot of refugees who are made citizens and some people believe that their culture is a problem for our culture (and I disagree, just for the record) - you know the situation... Well, the joke goes like this: "A Somali, a Turk and a Dane meet a giant frog in the woods and instead of killing it they return it to a nearby lake. The frog gets so happy that it grants them all a wish each. The Somali says: I wish that all somalis were home in Somalia! The Turk says: I wish all turks were home in Turkey Then the Dane asks the frog: Can I be sure that you really have sent all Somalis and Turks home to their own countries? Sure!, says the frog. OK, says the Dane, then I'll just have a cup of coffee...." Have a nice day all :) |
Cool, I searched the net and found this awesome page: http://www.ilovewavs.com/Holidays/Xmas/tf/tf.htm - my song is also there, it's called "Please Daddy (don't get drunk this christmas)" |
