    My Christmas Wish :

    ============================

    For all countries in the world to reduce defence spending by 10% in the next 10years! (British PM declared in Oct 2010 that defence spending would fall by 8% over four years for his country. Chancellor George Osborne has demanded the Ministry of Defence cut its £37 billion budget by 10-20%.)

    And further reduce to 50% within the next 50years!!!

    THE STORY BEHIND SILENT NIGHT

    It was Dec 23, 1818, in the small Austrian
    village of Oberndorf. Father Josef Mohr
    had begun preparing the music for the
    Christmas Eve service at his church.

    That evening, he attended the town
    Christmas play, then made his way up a
    nearby mountain overlooking the city.
    There he sat, taking in the beauty of
    the evening darkness and the starlit sky
    overhead.

    He reached home around midnight
    and sat down to pen a new song, one
    which could be played on the guitar,
    because the church organ was broken.

    With the freshness of the mountain
    evening still on his mind, he began to
    write. All the while, the words flowed
    from his pen.

    The next morning he asked his organist,
    Franz Gruber, to put a tune to the
    poem, something that could be played on
    a guitar. A few hours later, the task was
    accomplished.

    And so it was, on Christmas Eve,
    1818, that Father Mohr sang tenor and
    Franz Gruber sang bass, as the tiny town
    of Oberndorf heard for the first time a
    simple new song, a song that has since
    touched millions of lives around the
    world.

    They called it Stille Nacht. You and
    We know it as Silent Night.


    With this little known story

    i wish you HaPpY ChRisTmas & A MeRry NeW YeAr !!!
