No, Mac. Nor forgotten, either. So many died. It stands as a lesson for all - you, me, everyone else, never to allow such a thing to happen again. Peace to all. Forever. That's what this season is about.
And for all of us, including Jolly Old Saint Levicoff, here's an Austrian carol (Yes, it is, originally. Not that it really matters here.) Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht Alles schläft; einsam wacht Nur das traute hochheilige Paar. Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar, Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh! Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh! 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 Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht, Hirten erst kundgemacht Durch der Engel Halleluja, Tönt es laut von fern und nah: Christ, der Retter ist da! Christ, der Retter ist da! Silent night, holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight. Glories stream from heaven afar, Heav’nly hosts sing Alleluia; Christ the Savior is born Christ the Savior is born Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht, Gottes Sohn, o wie lacht Lieb’ aus deinem göttlichen Mund, Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund’. Christ, in deiner Geburt! Christ, in deiner Geburt! 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
Und warum muss unser verrückter Onkel über das Dritte Reich sprechen? Fröhliche Weihnachten trotzdem, Onkel Steve!
I should translate: And why must our crazy Uncle talk about the Third Reich? Merry Christmas anyway, Uncle Steve!
2020 has been a tough year for many, so it may not be a merry Christmas for everyone. Instead, I wish everyone a healthy, peaceful, and safe holiday season! Thanks to West Chester Borough Police, we don't have to worry about the Grinch ruining Christmas...
